27 shaman here. When does it get better at soloing?

[hamirez]

So far my dots are weak and the afliction gets resisted all the time.

Also what is the best place for an Ogre Shm to solo at my current level?

I got 147 Wis with a non twinked life.

Name is Gordos on blue

KFC (aviaks) in South Karana is a decent options at 27.

I remember following this guide pretty closely and hitting 51 in two weeks.

Later levels I did Loio goblins with JBB

I mean, its ok in classic, but when you get the JBB and Epic and Torp you're like Ohhhh-ly CRAP! Im a GOD!

I am curious how a fully decked out lustrious AC shaman solos, if jacking AC in classic to the max gives them a good advantage soloing? But Alas I have not Captain-Ahabtismo'd my way to that build hehe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think it doesnt happen for 80% of the shamans.

Gets way better when you can summon a pet

[Jibartik]

Yeh, it makes me wonder about the class on green, that's why I'm curious if the legacy AC packed shamans might have a whole new take on it? Or i could just be wishful thinking that there is more to this game that hasn't been min maxed already lol

If you’re getting resisted too much you may be fighting too high level mobs. Many find 24 a big improvement. 29 is a good level if you can find a level 24 animal (I used the large dire wolf in permafrost).

I did treants in SK as long as they conned blue to me

They can be hard if you let them buff when the spawn and cast their Dots / DDs on you but charming Elephants, or even better Bull Elephants worked great.

They were amazing xp & loot (tons of SP, GPS, FS staves, some minor gems).
Camp's quite popular, but I met a lot of nice people there and ended up sharing camp with (evil) necro | monks | shamans very often and it was even easier and a more relaxed camp

The vendor up top aviak city would also buy from/ sell to my iksar shaman so I 'd bound myself up there to sell without having to go back to NK gypsie camp

[Henlolizar]

Would the centaur merchant just SW of treants not sell to Iksar? That was incredibly convenient for my ogre. When you get too weighed down in junk currency, just buy/sell some Great Staffs at a small loss and keep on farming.

You're absolutely right, he would, but unlike the centaur vendor the aviak vendor has an unlimited amount of gems (topaz and a couple others IIRC) that you can buy and sell for a very small fee to turns all your gold/ silver / copper pieces into plays.
Then with sow, running back from KFC to treants takes a couple minute tops.
