In group settings are they fun? Can they actually put out damage decent damage besides interrupts and buffs? And what would be the best spec geared towards 8 man rvr? Thanks very much and would appreciate any other thoughts on them.

Very fun imo but not for damage. Again, imo: at least 27 in Cave (for instant pbaoe disease) at least 42 in Aug (for red endo) at least 6 in Mend for cure disease After that point: you could get a little more in Cave for a better aoe root or go higher in Aug for red heat resist (good vs hibs), red cold resist (good vs dragon), and red str/con good for your tanks.

Thanks for the response, I was a Dark RM my whole Dark Age experience and am used to melting guys quickly so I wasn't sure if lack of damage would drive me nuts on a Shaman o or if it's rewarding to DOT and interrupt guys

Well you won't dot in 8v8 but I found it very satisfying to rupt and support (and I don't really like playing healers). That being said, I played on Gareth and the classic live servers, so I had buff shears at that time as well. But hey you'll get groups about 1000x faster as shaman than a dark rm.

It's alright, the pros are that every group needs a Shaman, the cons are that it can feel like you don't have much outside of your buffs and you'll feel like you have the biggest bullseye on your head ever.

You won't have any problem leveling either!

I absolutely loved shearing. Shame that won't be in this patch (right?).

No shears at 1.65. Think of how bored Clerics will be.  [3:10pm] <myrmidon^> You have to be a c*** to be awesome at daoc
[3:10pm] <myrmidon^> that's what I learnt [3:11pm] <Frosty_> then why does austerim suck

most important question about shamans...Runental will come back?
 It's the thrill of the chase
and I'm coming after you. |

I think even with buff shear, I'd roll shaman if dwarf was still an option.
Sad sad. Noxen

The group HoT is also OP as hell if you went the healer road.
|
|
When I saw the thread title the little sound clip of the troll wife yelling "RUNENTAL!" from his video played in my head. |
|
well on the brightside, i hardly ever used shears anyway
|
|
I thought the group HoT was pretty crappy for a long time. I must be thinking of a different period in the game. Noxen

also, theres other specs you can go, personally i go 42 aug for red end, then the rest into mending. nobody ever expects a shaman to hold their own in the healing department. my former troll shaman can testify to that. with a good group who knows how to peel an enemy off somebody while still maintaining combat your shaman can save the battle, i know, i've done it with heals.
a little tougher in the gameplay, but if you can learn to make it work, i personally like it. |
