Making a Barb Shaman - Change my Mind

[greenspectre]

I went barb shammy at green launch and don't regret it one bit. Remember shamans don't get invis until 29(!!!!) so being able to travel through most areas without having to dodge guards was a huge help.

Gear doesn't matter much. I was in banded with a Combine Spear until 35, basically. Get used to root/rotting until that pet though. Grouping was more fun than soloing by a long shot.

Also another tip when soloing- Infectious Cloud is its own DoT line and stacks with your other disease DoT. Adding it to the mix makes root/rot soloing a LITTLE less painful.

Shouldn’t the whole line of diseases stack with each other? I remember kiting Plane of Nightmare (admittedly not classic) and using every dot I had and my best poison to kill yellow cons in early 50s.

To my knowledge all sham disease and poison dots stack with their downranked versions. Bane of Nife and Ebolt melts faces...

I just want to give a big shout-out to Toxigen and say thanks to everyone else who has helped me out on Blue. Skotch is already L16!

Flintkit threw in a nice mix of gear too!

Glad to get you off to a good start. I'd try to get some more +HP gear on some of those slots I couldn't quite piece together for ya.

Things should be much easier now in Unrest for you. Feel free to reach out if you need any more help. Happy Hunting!

All Shaman class / race combos are pretty good.

Ogre is best
Troll is best with Regen
Barbarian is best with goodly
Iksar is best if you like iksar
