A tale of 2 sowers

[zillabunny]

Get an unrest group with a shaman... Notice the puller is moving quite slow and I've been here for 10 minutes with now sow....

I ask what's the deal and he says that he doesn't sow cause ghouls root overwrite it... I am flabbergasted a guild members said this is the 4th time he's mentioned it...

Fast forward a few hours after he leaves...

A druid joins were banging through the main rooms and she says hey guys I think ghoulbroot might overwrite sow... Let me know if it wears off! I was floored!

As someone that recently replayed those levels, let me tell you at that level SoW literally takes 20% of a shamans mana bar (at least it did for Ogre, which I assume your shm was cuz it's the only proper choice for a shaman). I was one of those "assholes" that refused to sow noobs when I hit level 9 on green because every time I entered a zone I got more /tell requests for SoW than I had mana bar to cast them, which would have been 10 minutes of just sitting to get it back.

The reason your druid was likely able to sow your team is because druids are useless and have no other helpful spells. Sowing everyone is their only duty to a group. Shaman got other things to use their mana on.

I hope I cleared up your issue

which camp? Outside no real excuse - there's only that one ghoul by the water. Upstairs in fire-pit isn't so bad except the odd Carrion Ghoul. Main Room makes sense though cause there's 3 ghouls in the room itself plus all the side rooms have a chance to spawn ghoul

This is important - depends on group comp but chances are the shaman is dotting, healing, buffing, etc. and there's really not much running around a puller needs to do if they can solidly rotate the spawns. like 10 feet from door to camp.

not convinced the shaman is doing a bad job here

Comparing a level 9 shaman's mana pool to a level 14 druid's is a very good argument.

If you’re inside there’s also no real need for SoW since you’re so close to the camp anyway

Druids can heal, snare mobs, root adds, Harmony pull outdoor zones, str buff, skin buff (HP+AC), DS tank for extra damage, Dot if mobs die slow or nuke if mobs die fast. In outdoor groups Druids can charm animals to do extra DPS for group.

All that can be done at lower levels. At higher levels you can add port, wolf form, regen and eventually the all sought after PotG for the sweet mana regen.

So the only thing useless is your lack of understanding the Druid class. I hope I have cleared up your issue [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I honestly don't get why you're so upset. I have not spent much time in RnF, does everybody get this mad when you're just saying things everybody already knows?
