Shamans
 

I just joined this server and have a question about shaman viability for PvP -

I know I'm coming up against twinks; however, from having everything either resisted, dispelled via pumices or cured with an unending chain of potions - I am beginning to question their power.

Have I just been unlucky? Maybe I should just go with a SK afterall :p

Maybe it gets better at higher levels (low level PvP right now) - what do you guys think?

Shamans are amazing.

Don't judge the game by low level PvP.

Blind, Root, DoT ---- Win.

Shamans are good for pve encounters

This person clearly hasn't played a shaman since the recent resist changes. It's more like Malo, Tash, Blind, let group kill. If you don't have tash and malo you're probalby not landing anything. If you run with an enchanter they're amazing. If you run solo they're adequate but not great right now. PVE they are amazing as expected.

Shaman's were a great solo and group PVP class before the recent resist changes.

Right now, shaman's are viable in group PVP, with an unresistable debuff and strong DOT's as well as heals, stat buffs, hp buff, haste, resist buffs etc..

With the ability for player's to cure your dots with potions and dispell your debuff's with pumice.. Shaman is not an ideal solo pvp class.

+1

Well, shit.

Not true shamans can still pvp ok solo , just more of a challenge :)

shamans are one of the best 1v1 classes in the game

goot has no idea what he's talking about

Yep
