Help us build a Monk and Shaman Please

[Hannibal]

Good Morning Friends,

My wife has a 60 chanter; I have a 60 druid and 60 cleric. We do not Raid.

We are looking to gear up a MONK and a SHAMAN as a duo.

1. What should we be aiming to FARM?
____*We can duo Kael Arena to farm gear drops, both babies are coldain factioned
2. What should we be aiming to BUY?
____*We are currently saving up for a TStaff
3. What should we be aiming to QUEST?
____*Shaman Epic seems like a very easy faction quest

What are some easy picks in your mind for those classes? Like I know we eventually want JBB and the mortificators staff for Shaman.

Monk has Velks Haste Gloves & Thurg wrist for infinite throwing stars and a Peacemaker.

Shaman is wearing a mix of Thurg Armor and Netted Kelp. He has a Poison Wind Censer as his weapon.


THANK YOU FRIENDS!

Netted kelp serves no purpose for a shaman. It has terrible AC, and doesn't provide any +Mana for the shaman.

Farm some Nathsar in chardok, or Seb scale in Sebilis for upgrades. Give the netted kelp to the monk

Thanks Sammo! We have the netted kelp from farming the Neriad Shawl for the wife's chanter. It's just kind of filler for "empty" slots lol.

We'll look into Chardok, it's a crawl we know and love since we never faction our toons for the rings lol.

Do you have a budget or are you trying to duo farm every single item for these two alts?

Fungi and seahorse belt instead of SCHW.

Skip T staff til these are on the monk. PB is fine. Hell, I would rather both chars have fungis on them before going for T staff.

Otherwise just any light weight HP/AC/STR for the monk, basic wis shit on shaman. Save the rest for shaman spells.

Farm plat for fungi for Monk (and Shaman if but not necessarily critical if duoing) or get one to trio King in seb with you guys and hope you win the roll over the third person in the group.

With duoing, you won't really need the T Staff necessarily. It's certainly a nice upgrade, but much more important in those last several levels to 60 if the Monk is soloing as it allows the Monk to tackle some more difficult melee encounters where the higher DPS is needed without buffs. If the Shaman is there then you don't really need the T Staff and the PB is probably fine all the way to 60.

Yeah really just a fungi for both of them and fungi staff is nice for shammy can use as a GCD as well as extra regen to canni into for mana. That's really all for the shaman though I would focus on putting all the gear on the monk. All shammy really gonna do is slow the mob, keep the monk healed/buffed, and send pet for extra DPS when they get one.

You didn't say how low the monk/shaman are but velium crystal staff is real fun monk twink weapon pre-30 when the damage cap lifts and things like T-staff take over. Something you can solo farm on the enchanter. Not sure if you can duo Ayllish with those classes but some 6 necks are always a nice solid neck slot when available. Can definitely solo farm Seahorse belt.

JBB and Shaman epic while nice and add DPS for free won't really have much impact compared to the monk+pet dps. I wouldn't be too concerned with those, they are more for solo shaman needs. The sow boots are a nice GCD though (although you prolly still end up with sow on your bar for the monk so less of a boost than solo). Monk epic would be massive, that alone is like double DPS with the haste and +atk and stats.

Mild disagree here - I have been duoing with a Monk on my shaman - and the JBB clicks are worth it. Each fight is Slow > JBB > Canni > JBB > Canni.

The JBB is 32.8 DPS (when spammed repeatedly), which is more than a max-level, hasted pet can do.

The epic, I do agree with. It's best used when there are multiple mobs, and the shaman can root one and epic click it while the monk works on downing the first mob.

I'd get the shaman epic and forget about JBB with a perma monk duo.
