Are shamans annoying to play?

[bhatz01]

I've gotten a shaman to 20, and so far it has been fairly enjoyable.

My concern is that once I acquire Canni, that my life will be reduced to buff botting and canni dancing, with endless slows thrown in.

It's great to be needed, but playing a class that appears to need an extra set of hands, or bard like dexterity to manage seems a bit ADD.

Can any shamans pipe up and give their thoughts?

pve or pvp?




if pve, congrats you just figured out EQ.... regardless of class you do the same thing or few things over and over again until you finally grow up

I loved the solo life. But mistmoore wasn't bad around your level.

If your in a raid this is pretty much it. In a group you only need to buff 6 people so youll have mana to slow / dps and heal a bit here and there. Solo/duo there are a lot of different play options.

Shaman are versatile and can fill many roles and are wanted everywhere all the time. Great class hope you enjoy it

If you don't have ADD, consume vast quantities of caffiene to s(t)imulate it.

Shaman is fun for me cause I revel in my own bad-assery.

I enjoy Shaman play. I'd rather have a lot of stuff to do than hit auto-attack at the beginning of a fight and click a taunt button once in a while, or whatever.

You get nukes and DoTs and a pet wolf too....lots of variety.

Canni-dancing to manage your mana is a lot more interesting than
just sitting there medding like the other priest classes.

All classes are monotonous to a degree. Shaman has more variety
than most.

I dont think its annoying. I have the kind of personality where I always have to be doing stuff. Even with shaman though it can be over the top with how much you're clicking, plus so many different spells /items in your arsenal it keeps it interesting. Duos are lots of fun, raids would be annoying, groups are good too and solo is good.

If it gets to be too much make another char too that is simple to play. I picked a wizard heh. Then you can play both depending on what sort of mood you're in.

I rest my case.

I'm enjoying my level 24 Shaman, I'm excited for the variety that awaits me. Shamans really do get a lot of tools: slows, hastes, nukes, dots, heals, regens, buffs, wolfy pets, and more.

Plus you become a demigod at level 60 with torpor.
