Another shaman creation thread

[Trungep99]

I'm not asking anything about racials, I completely know the differences and the quest necks too.
I'm curious , for each race, should I place 25 points in wisdom and rest in stam? Or would any high end sham say they wish they placed it elsewhere?

c'mon Trunge! You're better than one of these threads!

[Trungep99]

Haha. I wanna make a sham : P. I don't know if I should put more in Stam ^_^

People think there is shame is discussing what will end up being the "best" starting stats. I think it's fun to speculate what kind of gear you will end up with in a reasonable amount of time, what stats your will benefit from in your particular play-style, and what other people's experiences are with their play-style.

I sent this thread to some of my more seasoned Shaman friends, as every Shaman I play was made by someone else.

IMO, Wis is useless on a shaman unless you're constantly coming down from FM, being able to capitalize on having more mana. But whether you have 2000 mana or 3500 mana you can only regen mana at a certain rate. Mana pool is much less important than the ability to regain mana (through Canni for a shaman).

HP (and STA) give you the theoretical ability to recover more mana through Canni, as well as giving you more survivability.

TL;DR I think STA is best. It really doesn't matter though.

No one is saying that it does, we are just chatting.

Once you hit 60 and you can readily convert hp to mana and vice versa, you have to just look at hp and mana as one big pool of resources. 1hp>1mana, but i don't think 1hp>3 or 4mana(1sta seems to return 3hp while 1wis returns 11 or 12 mana before 200.).Thus if you don't think you will hit 200wis easily I'd dump points into wisdom, like on a troll.

Mana cap certainly helps going into some fights, as a bigger pool can help you outlast mobs that slowly drain your Mana (does more damage than you can heal+canni+all the other stuff shm do)

From an endgame NToV prospective -- its probably best to go Charisma.

[coki]

with velious gear you could put the points into INT/AGI and you prolly wouldnt notice a difference once lv 50-60

the shaman class race combo can be a debate, or a frendly discussion. First off you must ask yourself, what type of shaman am I personaly. Do i prefer to stand among my friends and cheer them on, or do I prefer to go at it alone? What type of pants are my favorite types of pants and do I like the water or drier climates. The next thing that one must ask themselves is should a shaman that uses a hitpoint advantuage rely heavily on an element of suprise when attacking formidable enimes trolls or goblins, or should a strategy of pure face pushing and brandshing dps at a rate that cannot be found availble at previous levels of a formidable discussion? First things first. Make sure you know the answers to all of the above questions when rolling your shaman, the next thing you need to find the answers to is where is your date of birth and when is your location of birth? Using the values subtracted from the basehitpoints of both the shaman races made availble, even though there are 4 shaman races available, one must then calcuate the arangments they will have with other shamans and creatures when focusing all the energy one would have against pv2 or pv3 sometimes, the ratio can be known as PvE not to be confused with pvp. PVP For a shaman is a race based issue for 3 fold reasons, one being the fact that a shaman cant use broken arrows, which are a primary gift when doing the epic. Using the epic however can prove to be an advantage that cannot be ignored. however one must never forge tthe assistance the thought of using a broken arow may have following a pv3 or pv2 encounter, sometimes after confusion the thought can bring a change in reaction from creatures under the zone you are in and corpse draging can then become intollerable! next you must then think, jaundicated bones or jandicated bronze. Bronze Breast Bones are the best feature you can allocate to a proper starting class, so never think to yourself that using features like these will be a waste of your shamans powerful time. Once your time has been calculated you can see that when using a jaundicated bronze bone breast bone you will have a cloak of theories that will bring you to a planted pollerized decision of gnoll vs larkens mask. when you use larkengnoll masks on your magelo you can see an obvious resistance bonus to resists vs wandering and probiotics. so using fandom and frendship you can bring a shaman of any rank to a level where backwards bronze breastplates will bring a shocking value to the starting city of any iksar.

so never let choice be the reason you make a decision about figuring out which armor class is the best feature for your shaman knight but always bring epic comparisons between your first character and last character when thinking about ratios between starting city and where you ask to be bound, be it by a wizard portal or by a druid portal, or sometimes not by a portal at all but by a lake or a tree, but there are so many trees you can get lost and youll wonder which tree is your bind point when asking someone to do it when trying to move to crushbone but vendoring will be not a problem in this scenario becuse using a bind point by a friend vs a bind point by a stranger means that you know the person but that makes trans continental porting not possible unless using a group.emselves is should a shaman that uses a hitpoint advantuage rely heavily on an element of suprise when attacking formidable enimes trolls or goblins, or should a strategy of pure face pushing and brandshing dps at a rate that cannot be found availble at previous levels of a formidable discussion?
