Hey all, so after discovering P99 I got that nostalgic itch after not playing EQ when my computer wasn't good enough to run Luclin way back in the day, and I was a poor 12 y/o that didn't know anything about computers or had the money to upgrade.

Anyway, so I have rolled a Shaman, as it looked interesting. I've been following the Evil Shaman solo guide and it's been really good, as I'm up to level 40 and currently fighting Spectres in Feerrott. The issue I'm having is that the guide doesn't talk about when to transition to root/rotting, or even what spells and buffs I should be using throughout these levels regardless of slow tanking or root/rotting. I'm not what many would consider being twinked, but I have a few +wis items. I still find myself down to 25-35% mana just getting a round of spells off on these Spectres, not including resists, and trying to canni when I can. though, I still only have canni 1.

I don't have a guild to ask, and the couple RL friends I have that do play have never played a shaman. Any advice?
The Spectres might be a little too close to your level at level 40. I would wait a bit longer to do them. I would try slow tanking/or rooting rotting the guards in North Karana. Those are a lot easier. Also the geonids in crystal caverns are pretty easy too. The spectres are ok at 45+, but Not as good on a shaman because of the lifetaps they do. Spectres are usually a camp for necro, cleric, paladin, because of their undead only nukes, fears and charms etc.
