I liked Ssra temple even though I was seeing snakes in my sleep. VT was pretty bleh though.

The loot was good, I liked the various items with clickies and FT was a big help to casters. AAs and horses were also nice additions.

But yeah the Lore and VT bleh.

Cool. Oh yea the cat people and bazaar. That's what I remember besides solo grinding those coterie with my old necro on ayonae ro.

I cannot make up my mind on a shaman or necro. I can throw down with the necro for sure, but i'm interested in the shaman for the superior group utility and alchemy. While i'm aware of the viability of the shaman as a solo class, I realize it has limitations in comparison to the necro. That was the basis of my question.

I would like to ask a question regarding faction as well. When velious is released, will an iksar or ogre be able to build coldain faction?

[SirDayblaze]

everyone is in the same boat for the coldain, starting at the same faction level with the same opportunity for faction. If I remember right the only combo that makes a dif in velious is an ogre that worships zek isnt kos to the lesser giants to begin with.

Ok thanks man. Iksar it is. The storm giants will die. I hated the vindicator with a passion.

Iksar necro definitely rocks, but i'd caution you against iksar shaman. Not that you'd be useless as an iksar shaman or something, but you don't have access to the JBB, which is a pretty substantial tool for a shaman.

Put it this way - Necros are awesome in every single way.
They're good at everything - raw killing power, utility, things you can farm/do, etc. Necros are surprisingly good patch healers, mana batteries, DPSers, pullers, backup mezzers...

However, 50+, Shaman become incredibly unique. Stuff like the MASSIVE power of slow, JBB's 45+, a mediocre but worthwhile pet, some of the best dots...And at 60 particularly, Torpor is arguably the best spell in the game.
