New barb shaman questions.

[Glain]

My main is a rogue, my other alt is an sk. I have never played a full caster class and am kind of new to the idea of soloing. I made a barb sham and bought myself a fungi tunic. I figured regen coupled with fungi would be amazing with canni. I just don't know what or where to solo. The only guides I found was for evil shams....I don't wish to ruin my faction. Currently lv 19 and hanging out in upper guk snagging groups....but I get very bored healing all of the time. Any advice would be greatly welcomed!

How is healing in a group more boring than root rotting in a corner somewhere?

[Orruar]

Here is my path to soloing to 60.

1-5 Everfrost
5-15 Blackburrow
15-30 Permafrost
30-40 Splitpaw
40-54 CoM
54-60 HS

Enjoy!

Shamans will be healing on and off for most of their days, are you sure you wouldn't prefer to put that fungi on a monk?

My advice would be to head to EK and kill spiders, gorge hounds and the like... maybe South Karana for aviaks and wandering mobs if not.

14 levels of solo in CoM? Highly unlikely with the competition for mobs in there at peak time Orruar, but otherwise a good list! :)

I've also got a lv 19 shammy (very slightly twinked compared to the above) too, parked in Perma. I have never attempted soloing more than the non-casters in the entrance section. The way i do it is melee/nuking and rooting any adds. mobs go down quickly but i burn a lot of mana and have to med a lot which equals downtime. Why i use this blunt tactic is that root rotting seems not that effective at this level, is that correct or is it my lack of skills?

Shamans are pretty poor soloers for a long time. If you have the money to buy a fungi, though, invest in a nice weapon like a jade mace for early on and a poison wind censer for level 20+, and a haste item. You'll find twinked meleeing much more effective for a long time than root-dotting.

The first few levels might be rough since you're probably stuck doing stables/ent, but by 46 you can do arena, moat, temple, even 2nd floor if you're an enterprising chap.

Also, I did 40-50 in solb/guk since it was pre-Kunark, but I wish CoM had been around!

Most shamans do CoM around that level range to knock out epic faction in the process of exping.

What I've done so far on my twink shaman (Fungi, FBSS, Poison Wind Censor/Granite Face Grinder):

5-24ish - soloing and grouping in Upper Guk
24-29 - Aviaks and Centaurs in South Karana, gnolls outside of Paw
29-39 - Guards in Highkeep Hold (Who cares about faction with Evil Freeport guards and Highkeep? The EXP is incredible.)

Thanks for the advice! My warrior has an fbss and a poison wind censer that i could borrow for now. Fungi is totally out of my budget. Although I am dreading getting the 2hb skills up from nothing. Although the fbss will speed things up a little bit at least.

For Barbarians (only) the Barbarian Spiritist's Hammer is a really great melee option. It isn't too expensive (5k, maybe less?) and from level 30 on it procs the same nuke as the JBB (which you can't use until 45). If you melee the whole fight you'll usually get at least 2 procs in, which adds up to a lot of damage.

As for where to solo ...

wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide (http://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide)

Although it's technically for any class, it was compiled by a Shaman (me) so it's chock full of great places that a Shaman can solo.

5-15 Blackburrow
15-30 Permafrost
30-40 Splitpaw
40-54 CoM

:eek:

if you have played eq before i dont recommend that route. its ok for nuubs though.

if you got the balls for it head to faydwer (port) and lvl there.[bind GF] HOwever if you dont have a porttoon, to get spells from barbyville. Then its a pretty tuff route.

halas is just in the wrong place for easy access! you could pick a proper race :P

kaladim and itsinhabitants are useful if you wanna lvl fast. Felwithe bank....

permafrost is rough place to lvl in imo. Tricky layout and loads casters. good zem though.

grp or duo till 24/25 then do some soloing till 29ish. HHK is good for 29-33,

farm pp between 34-37 then start soloing again to 40.

39 yuo can solo/duo in kaesora, if you know the zone. (dont go in blind)

40+ hang out with folk on your friends list.....

47-51 farm plat

51+ reroll as a troll.

I just spent 20-29 soloing in SolA with my rog. I cant imagine that a sham couldnt do the same, it was fantastic! low 3-500hp mobs.. just slow and get a GFG or a PWC and melee to 29!

Can still use my guide, you won't be ruining faction until level 29. Plus if you follow the alternate paths or read the comments (150+ deep), you will find more suggestions that I haven't added to my post (for fear of diluting it too much).

At 19 can solo Crocs in Oasis/Orcs near Highway, Lavastorm/Najena, Unrest Lower Level/Courtyard, Ek Spiders and Undead Dogs(forget exact name)* at night, SK Trash moving on to Centaurs (Who have merchant and can kill with no faction hit, Centaurs are Pacifist), bind at merchant and kill roaming lions, cents, aviaks, elephants.

Trying to think off top of head of other places and you can always do, Kurns Upper level til 24, LOIO Undead/Trash, Iksar Bandits maybe in Warsilks Woods (Might be too low?), Aviaks in Lake Rathe/Undead by SK Zone. Random animals/undead in Rathe Mountains.

Point is the world is your oyster, don't think because my guide is :DEvil Shaman Solo Guide (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126844):D that the content/comments wont apply to you.
