Classes: The Shaman

Shamen - primitive power. The only magic using class of the barbarians, ogres and trolls, shamen get a variety of spells that combine aspects of most of the other magic using classes. This combination, along with the racial strength, means the class can be played in a variety of different ways.

What is the best way to develop and play your shaman? What spells and skills are the most and least useful? Can a shaman be soloed, and if so how? How should you play your shaman in a group?

Post your strategies on how to best play and develop the Shaman and read, rate and comment on what others have to say.

I think the best group is needing to have the ablity to

TANK as tactics dictate
HEAL power as needed to keep all alive
How to Handle Adds Root\Mez\Kite
Slower

I think it depends on the MOB and tactics you use to fight it.

Root and Rot and DD when HP are low.

Fear Kiting or Bard Kiting.
Need room to Kite and a plan to handle adds.


I think at higher levels the game requires groups to have a main Tank and main healer.

there are lotz of playces to see how to get the best group like the main eq forums but of course shammys rule ya gotta check the threads to see what ya play necros rock when beestlords are cool too i think he said it best wat ya gonna do i like my druid if shamans are more for groups high or low? 2boxing is hard if ya got good friends its all good i had a great beastlord friend but i wonder if ill ever get my epic their each different can i play the same way eech time or when duz the pet tank if the bad guy summons or why 200 plat 2 much to be rezed when i only got 50 plat in thebank he wouldnt give me any so who cares

Just kidding friend. Larth stated it as well as it can be stated. Start a toon, see how ya like it and go on from there. There is no best way.

Sounds like an aggro kiting group, if the necro doesn't mind running in circles all day ...

the necro wont really need to be running if the magician uses his earth pet which will root the mob and if i need to i can root so necro wont be running around sure we dont really have a good tank but i will be healing the necros pet im sure it can take some hits

Just for info a nec pet not very good at taking hits - hence the fact a nec is known to as a kiter, only time pet can take is if a player tanks and it doesn't get hit....

So if you expecting the Nec pet to be the only tank and he holds the aggro, you gunna go MOOOOOMMMMMYYYY pretty soon ROFL
