Shaman or Druid?

[Kevlar]

With charm at lvl 14 a druid is the best soloer in the game. Chanters can be as good but they need someone to sow them and snare the mobs or they die too much.

Druids aren't as group friendly but you can level a druid to 50ish then PL another toon to 50 before the shaman will get there. And most druids will be rich at 29 so can then afford to twink out the class they really want to play.

Druids are by far the best 'first' character on any server.

Notice this shaman has A) Jaundiced Bone Bracer B) Manastone C) Fungi

Show me a video of the same fight without those three expensive pieces and we can compare.

A better question: what pieces of equipment would you give the druid to do the same thing?

A Druid would have just Charmed that Giant and killed the other one being Naked. Easy as pie. Just kidding. I don't think a Giant is a animal. but you get the point.

A Iksar Necro would have just root rotted it naked also. And had full mana when he was done. Not oom like the Shaman. A non Ogre Shaman is way overrated.

You don't "think" a giant is an animal, but you're going to educate us on the way that multiple different classes stack up against each other in this situation?

Cool.

Wow Fisch you need to get out of Michigan. Get some sun and have some fun. You can't get a joke?? You must play a Ogre. And seeing a video of a Shaman with A) Jaundiced Bone Bracer B) Manastone C) Fungi running out of mana and having like 35% health left is impressive. Huh.
