Mage or Shaman?
Hey all so in the last 2 weeks or so I have been twinking/trying out diff class's to see which I like the most and which is more my play style. I really like my Druid main, alot actually. I love porting around, I love SoW, I love the buffs and I love being able to solo. The only problem is, there is soooo many of us and getting groups takes awhile, sometimes I am forced to solo because I just cant find a group heh. Soloing is fun, but I just don't wanna play the whole game that way.
Basically, what I am looking for is a class that is usually always wanted and can easily find groups without having to look very hard. While at the same time be able to solo pretty easily when I dont have time / feel like grouping. I tried Tanks thinking they would be easy get groups with, but I think the whole play style of them just isn't my style and they can't really solo. I usually play caster type class's, healers, support, dps, anything really. Any what it comes down to is a Mage or Shaman it seems. Ive played a Mage a bit and they seem like the "safe" choice. Ive only gotten it to level 12 but so far the play style feels easy mode soloing, I just send pet in, heal it and watch the xp bar go up. I like being able to solo pretty much anything, without having much down time due to mana, like I do on my Druid. However, I don't really know how well or often Mages get groups? I am guessing there are ton's of them because of how easily they can solo, so maybe I would run into the same problem as my Druid, too many of the class and no room for them in groups? As far as Shaman, I haven't really played one at all. However talking to people in game it seems like they get alot of stuff that my Druid has, SoW, Regen spells, better Buff spells like Haste. Also I am told they can solo "alright", pretty much just debuff, dot then tank it down, yeah? I don't really know how many Shamans there are on the server or how often there wanted in groups, but I am guessing they do ok because of there buffs + heals, but at the same time my Druid has buffs and heals so I cant really base it off that. Anyway, thats my dilemma. Ive been changing my mind and testing out diff class's so much lately it is driving me crazy lol. So whichever class I pick out of these two is going to be the one I stick with, so I was hoping I could get some more info, advice and opinions about them before I make up my mind. Thanks all!!! | ||

Im going based off what I remember back in early 2k...
But basically I find shaman more useful, though def harder to level up. A mage will bring to a group DPS and pretty much more DPS. Maybe you can count off-tanking, but that isnt the real job of a mage imo. A shaman will bring a lot to the group, not even going to list off everything I remeber. So if your goal is to be more group friendly, then sham is the way to go. All that said, my experience on P99 has been the other way. I have only grouped with a sham on few occasions. Maybe because the server pop is low, maybe because other people putting together groups dont like sham for some reason. I personally remember that they were always super useful to have. | ||

Mage if you're looking for EZ-mode to 50.
Shaman if you're looking for a class with more depth and challenge.

I'd say Shaman mainly because I see/grouped with lots of mages but rarely do I see a Shaman and get one on group while leveling.
