Hi all,

as a starting player in this game - and one that loves grouping - there are times where no groups can be found and I need to solo.
I am a level 19 troll shaman right now and sit in oasis but I seem to do something wrong when I solo as even if I engage blues my mana and health bar is pretty much depleted after just one fight so I guess I do something wrong.

How do you solo with a shaman? Any tips would be appreciated! :-)
At your level just pick up a decent melee weapon and melee stuff. Pull with slow, use a long duration DOT (Sicken line), and melee until dead.

After 20 you'll probably want to use a 2hander, but there aren't many cheap options available. This isn't too bad: http://wiki.project1999.com/Runewood_Great_Staff
Granite Face Grinder and Blight hammer are really what you want, though.

For 1handers you have a lot more options:

If you find yourself taking too much damage, you can switch to root rotting. Stack your dots, then root the mob and move away from it. You can root first if you need to but the damage from your dots will probably break it.
