Wow, thank you very much Campdog,I see what you mean, I guess I need to run my little froggy butt around some more and try and see a little more of norrath, I pretty much always stick to the same zones because I know them, but, I guess that is not as good as I thought, tho I do like the old school zones a lot more, and I hate to see them get vamped. thay are the best link to the old days of EQ when everyone was there to have fun and the game had a kind of magic about it, I remember when the splitpaw gloves where just awesome and thay sold for like 500pp each, wich is like 10000 now, I see money being throne around like it is nothing now (wich comes from people buying plat) and that I do not understand. my dad's got a level 70 druid, and for the longest time I would just start to PL my guys up real fast, and I never understood why I did not like them as much when I got them up to higher levels, but I now understand, I did PL my shaman some, because I wanted to get to my friends level so that we could group (level 19) but I said that I would not PL any more once I got there, and I did not and will not, I know I know, yall may think i'm just one of the people that PL up to 65 in a week, but I don't, my main is a 61 monk, and I have been playing a long time...I really do like to fight to get what I have, it makes it more fun, and when you get good stuff, it's like, wow, I really worked for all this...I would just like to thank you again Campdog, you must be some shaman man, any wizdom that you would like to pass down, I would love to know.....thanks again

My first toon was a Ogre Warrior. My lifestyle changed due to children, so I made a Shammy. I think any class that has an Ogre as an option you must take. Now there are downfalls, an xp penalty, which I have never noticed. However the benifits out way the pentaly. The Ogre can not be stunned from the front. When soling later in the game this is very important.. This allows a better success rate casting spells. The stats when you make your toon can not be touched by any other race. I put all my points in STA. Which at lvl 1 is 150, then the rest in wisdom. As far as tweeking well I do it always, that is just my preference. Currenty my Shammy is lvl 68, I Work aa's now. If it dosen't summon I kill it with ease. Well good luck with your Sham. See ya on the battle field.

I agree with you on the rate of Greater and Glowing runes dropping is just plain wrong. Finally got my second Glowing (YAY for SS!!) and one away from group Wunshi (buffing a raid with single cast = huge PITA).

Get the AA's for SCRM to make Panther and all your buffs last 50% longer. It really makes a difference while soloing.

Congrats on 70, and picking the class of Shaman.
