Enchanter vs Shaman. Who is the better money maker?

[sajbert]

Enchanter can hit the biggest cash prizes.

Enchanters are better at breaking into dungeons.

Enchanters are strictly better than shamans until they get Torpor and arguably require good gear as well. Thus until at least Kunark enchanters are strictly better. You don’t need to invest all that pp into your farming character either.

Shamans are not, despite what silly things DSM may say, good sustained DPS killers like a mage. This type of farming is typically risk free and doesn’t involve corpse runs and you don’t have to spend weeks in EC auctioning your goods (something that most never take into account when discussing pp/hr. However, it also means you have few or no AFK-breaks but gotta attend your computer all the time. Tedium…

IMO: Shamans are poor farming characters but great mains that can fuel much of their own progression. If you want to level a character to make money for other characters then make an enchanter.
