Shaman points allocation...

[sobchak123]

Whoever told you to dump everything in wisdom is a total noob

Every point goes into STA. Period. Any shaman that tells you otherwise doesn't comprehend the true power of the class, or have any idea how to play a shaman with skill. It's all about maximizing your regen and hp. Screw wisdom. I suppose if you're a troll or ogre, sure, dump a few I guess.

Cannibalize is your most important spell and you should be having a nice macro setup to chain it. If you're not canni dancing, you're a shitty shaman. Add rage and you have an extremely efficient class. Any shaman that sits there and meds, especially with a cleric in the group is a lazy POS worthless shaman and you should kick them from your group.

Yea, Trolls get a super high starting WIS. Just dump everything into STA. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

WIS all the way and rest into STA. That is my opinion.

You do realize that rage is a worthless piece of shit spell now, right? It drains your mana down to zero and will keep it there, so canni does nothing with rage on you...also rage is bugged half the time now anyways (unless they fixed it, AGAIN)

But to answer the question, max your wisdom on any shaman you create (put all points into WIS), then work on your stamina. When equipping your shaman aim for high AC and HPs gear to help you level easier...once you get higher levels you can start focusing more on the WIS/Mana items, but trying to keep your HPs up is always a good idea. In the end look for a good balance.

My best advice to level a shaman faster is get him a Poison Wind Censor. I specifically say Poison Wind Censor because they are only going for about 1-2k now. For a 20/28 weapon you can't beat that, and as a shaman this one item alone will be a HUGE factor in your damage output. Once this weapon starts to proc you might need to stop using it, lol...but if you could afford it, go Granite Face Grinder. 2HB is the way to go for helping your shaman level up faster (solo style). Once you get 50+ you may want to swich to Howling Harpoon and SBS.
