The Post-Torpor sections are for the majority of players, who want to know what their character will look like in the end. This allows them to make the best possible decision when creating their new character, since that decision will affect their character after months or years of play. Creating a Shaman who will never reach level 60, or exclusively raids, is for a minority of players.

I think it's silly to base anything on the presumption of "full BiS gear."

Everquest is a long game, and many characters take years to complete. Doing a bit of planning in the beginning will save you a lot of grief later, if you care about maximizing your character.

We're talking about a server where only a tiny minority of players even get to raid at all, let alone obtain full Velious BiS. It just doesn't seem like something that ought to be featured that prominently in a discussion of the merits of each race. With NToV/ST gear in every slot, of course base stats don't matter in the slightest because you'll have 255 in all of the ones you care about. But that's relevant to almost nobody. You cannot profess to rate races on their stats when the foundation of your argument is "when you have the best item in the game in every equipment slot," under which circumstances all races max all of their relevant stats.

Non-Barbarian shamans look like dog ass and are inferior to Barbarian shamans

If your dog's ass looks like an ogre, you need to call a veterinarian.

The reason why you look at your character with BiS gear is to determine if any race/class combination is missing stat points, even after getting all BiS gear. This knowledge is useful for people who want to minimize stat waste. Stat waste happens when your stat gets capped at 255. All stat points above that are useless. If you can figure out which stat doesn't get maxed even with BiS gear, you can choose to put points into that stat in the beginning to minimize waste. If the conclusion is all races of that class can max out their stat points anyway, then you can instead focus on which racial bonuses, racial items, and diety items work best for your playstyle. In the case of a Shaman, you can easily max all of your stats, including wisdom. Therefore, your race/class combination should mostly be determined by which racial bonuses, racial items, and diety items you want to play with. If you read my guide, you will see all of this covered[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] EDIT: Your assumption that BiS gear maxes all race/class combinations is not correct. https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:EruditeSKMan If you look at this fake SK I made with BiS gear, you will see that his INT is still not maxed, even as an Erudite with BiS gear. This is because Velious BiS gear for tanks has less focus on WIS/INT, and a lot more focus on STR/STA. This means if you want to minimize stat waste on an SK, you should dump points into INT. This is especially true since INT/WIS buffs give less stat points than the melee stat buffs.

I love the toxic narcissism people playing this game exhibit not only in game but on the boards and presumably in life. I'm right, you're wrong so F-Off. It's absolutely useless as anything but entertainment but I do like being entertained so carry on (like you people would ever stop...).
I for one as a "never-before-and-now-practicing" Shaman appreciate the opinions and evidence outlined in the article. I'm always interested to see how people play their characters. Vids are great and I'm a bit of math/stats junky so it's all good. Min/Max be damned, I can't stand the ogre model so I went Troll and love every minute of my play except the stuns while tanking, but I love my regen after taking some hits. Better or worse, it's all irrelevant and boils down to preference. Thank you for putting up the guide. | ||
