Shamen Vs. Druids as Soloers

[yaeger]

He wants an easy answer, there is none.

lol not sure he was looking for answers....but rather opinions.

Just give yours on the 2 classes he was interested in.

I think Druid and Shaman are both great....but I just like one more =)

Im somewhat biased, but the soloing power of a druid is uncontested. Remember, Druids get harmony, and a good druid can break ANYTHING if it's outdoors.

I've always thought of shaman as more of a grouping class. With their buffage, slows, damage, pet, and heals, they are a very good group class.

I think if your looking for a primary soloing class, druids rock. root/rot and snare kiting are extremely effective at killing just about anything.

*EDIT* -- When I said uncontested, I wasnt thinking about a Necromancer, especially an Ikky Necro. sooo.... Yeah

1) Level druid to 50.

2) Auction for PL.

3) ???

4) Profit! Take money bath.

blah I forgot about Harmony.....that deff. gives druid the upper-hand soloing where more than 1mob is concerned. Kudos for that man!

druids are no where near the best PLers. They are only the best at like level 1-15, which isn't a high money PL level anyway.

I don't really believe in power leveling, so forget about that part [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nalkin, their damage shield stay relevant way into the high 20s, possibly higher. Once past a certain level, they usually supplement their damage shield with shaman DS potion.

Their regen, heals and HP/AC buffs are good at any levels.

Are they the best? Maybe not, but they're definitely the ones I see raking the most cash.

If your gona solo with the chance of some groupage totally play shaman. In a group druid is pretty worthless since he cant break nada indoors and sucks at healing. Not to mention many outdoor camps dont need to be broken. And shaman can easily break a 2 or 3 camp by rootin, slow, dot and pet kite around. Druid only pro is ports which u bind in ec and can get a port easy almost anytime.

Druid solos much faster than a Shaman when you can quad.
