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.

1-11 stay in the tutorial till it kicks you out. Try to do as many of those quests as you can. Most of them can be done by your self.
11-13 go to Kurn's Tower killing the skillies inside most will be yellow and red.if your not twinked stay here till 15.
15-25 go to Paludal Caverns. on the moon. Group if you want to kill the rogues or the other stuff taking your time, don’t worry about the darkness spell that they can only infect you once.
25-30 go to Marus Seru its almost as good of an area as pc. Kill anything that cons yellow or white to you.
30-40 this is where my memory gets a little foggy, if I remember right the dreadlands is a good place. Or Dulak's Harbor at the beach.

If anyone else has any othere input from 40+ feel free to post.

If you are planing to Solo, stick to Undead mobs they usualy don't run. Or places your can single pull.
If you are looking for groups then ask for your current level where the Hot Spot is (Sony changes the HOT SPOTS every so often where EXP is increased in that zone)

50's-60's. The entrance to shrissraeza temple is decent soloing xp. The 5 mobs there also drop shissar scales for vah shir cultural armor quest. Can get about a 1400 pp an hour farming there. Max hit on my shaman 3.5k hp and about 1000 ac unbuffed is a max of just a little under 300. Mostly 150-190 though. With slow, 1 dot, and spirit of the leopard mobs last about 1:00 tanking. them. And if you slow pull you barely get summoned to them. resists about 1 in 6. Even when summoned 4 out of 5 is far enough apart to not have to worry about double pulls.

Chuck, your method sounds good the only problem is that you have to go through the deep or the grey in order to get there. I am a lv 51 shaman who has barley ever been to those zones and i don't know my way around there. I don't have an in game map for either zone. I also can't buy them.

When you go into the grey turn right and there's a small ridge follow it across to the middle of the zone. temple of shissar is straight out along it's path. There's a few golems hanging out in front of the temple entrance as a bit of a marker. Only thing's that see invis are the skeleton's. If they hit to hard in shissar temple try the golems in the grey. Lighter hitters and i think it was around 4% xp on my wife's beastlord around 43 and the other mobs there have slightly higher xp rates as well. Should be at least 1 or 2 percent xp at 51 or so. And i can't remember 100% but i believe mapfiend.com's maps used to be free unless they changed in the last couple of months. I memory wiped my comp. for virus problems about 4-5 months ago.
