shammy slow is more powerful than the entire druid class!
we get sooo screwed on our healing power, how are we even considered in the same realm as shammy/cleric? we're like weak wizards with a subpar heal. we don't even get a weak heal over time that we can cast on others... what the fuq? I have no idea what the Kunark devs were thinking in regard to druids.

but I still love the hell outta my class, and Smilks will forever be my main here.
druids may get screwed, but they're a ton of fun, especially with a manastone (when you're not stuck tracking). :D

Shaman slow is WAY overrated because it takes a shit pot of mana to keep casting it. Between Haste and buffs a Shaman is always oom. There is a reason the devs gave them Canni. Solo well maybe, but in a group no way you can keep up with pull after pull slowing and healing etc.

PoP era at a stretch and with a mount you could heal and slow but it really was quite brutal for having to constantly canni.

...wouldn't like to see a shaman main healing and having to slow here :/

If you're having trouble with mana, load up the lesser slow and carry on. Just wheel the big one out for lengthy encounters.

:confused:

The druids are laughing with you...all the way to the bank.

Most of the time with slow you hardly ever even have to heal. I've been in many groups (post-50) where the only healer is a shaman, who is maintaining slows and buffs. A heal comes once a mob? Maybe?

Most likely these days if the group's dps is well geared, which by the 40's is often the case :)

It's when adds turn up or when the shit hits the fan that a shammie will struggle with no CC...slowing the mob is going to draw aggro, then its having to ghetto CC with root etc.

A standard group with a decent puller is a recipe for success... I just remember struggling with PoP content in terms of hard hitting mobs and having to main heal without CH, though torpor was a blessing :)

/speechless

Hey now us druids get a AC debuff with Vellious! Oh, and group Skin! And some junky heal.

And that little bear pet! Don't forget the bear pet!.... >_<

We are just over glourified PLers/Porters.. But hell, it makes great money :D

edit: At least I think that junky chloroblast heal... That could be Luclin I dunno.
