Shaman PVP

Jokerball · #1 09-21-2011, 06:16 PM

Hello all. I have never played PVP 1 box. I am not trying to play a mainstream class at all. I am very interested in shaman as this is the only class ive played mostly solo in classic.

How are they in PVP in low, mid, and end game?? What classes would be my downfall?

Shamans are terrible at pvp.

they are actually quite good. good offensive and defensive abilities. i'd pick a troll or ogre

But keep in mind it will take a ton of experience to get on that level.

That was also a more innocent time. Most people still didn't know shit, and there's a lot of tricks that make shaman much less powerful in PvP.

Shaman is more fun than Necro in my personal opinion, and you can still do well against all the same classes.

Shaman with CoF and Hammer of Scourge is fun as hell.

Is this the best shaman weapon as far as dmg/delay goes?

Scourge from Naggy is 23-47, Windershinns from Draco/Golems is 20-42, Spiritist Hammer from CT is 22-43.

And Nagafen will probably die long before the other two, so yeah... For early on you can probably get yourself a Treant Staff, 10-35 procs root, around lvl 20.
