Hi all, it's been a while! I joined this server back around August and played for a couple of months, but then I dropped off for a while. Obviously though, you can never quit EQ; you can only ever take a break. So I'm back.

Anyway, I picked up where I left off, with a level 20 Shaman currently living in Firona Vie. Unfortunately, I've kinda hit a wall. I can solo dark blues with significant downtime - it takes like 40% of my mana, and I periodically need to rebuff - but that's VERY slow going. I know that once I hit 24, life will become infinitely easier due to Cannibalize. In the mean time, am I just doomed to sit as a back-up healer in groups for the next few levels? Or is there something I can do to make these levels go by more quickly?

Thanks, all!
