Velious class

[pasi]

Kinda drunk, but Velious is much less dungeon oriented than kunark which eliminates the advantage enchanters have over shamans now within packed dungeons of casters. Enchanters are still very good in Velious, but they are much more 'skill' or 'knowledge' (I hate saying this) dependent than shaman. Velious is an expansion with many different factions. I'll let that statement sink into on people for considering how strong charm and memblur can potentially be with different factions. (Hint: You can solo almost anything if you know how to abuse the above - the problem being if you can find the mob up).

Shaman are better at farming AiW4 from a safety perspective which is one of my predicted the cash cows in Velious. The other cash cow is farming EToV since Raiders generally want that over their N/W ToV trash drops. EToV farming doesnt want/require an enc from a minimalist standpoint, but pets are possible if you clicky for dispell aoes.

Enchanters excel at SG farming and Kael farming which will really depend on the price of Thurg BPs and wavecrashers/seahorse belts.

In all honesty, it will be that the very, very knowledgeable enchanters that are king with every shaman and their brother close behind.

Hypothetically, monks/SKs with puppet strings are top solo dogs for Velious, but I don't think there are any monks over here knowledgeable enough to make that so (judging by Kunark).
