Shaman or Enchanter?

[rollin5k]

while the pet does help a bunch its not really game changing, you still have to root or you'll get aggro and slow or pet will die. so the cost of slow is almost as much as another poison dot. usually dog will do more damage than one dot but its still close.

yeah what he said!

Anyone know how hard it would be to do the Stein of Moggok quest on a say agnostic high elf enchanter?

I pretty much decided on enchanter :P but deciding race.

Agnostic any race will be easy, you just need a troll/ogre illusion for one part of it...and maybe more than 1 part of it if you're a dark elf. Look it up on the wiki. It can be time consuming but it is fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have a 55 chanter & 52 shaman. in my experience:

Enchanter - A blast to solo, but much more dangerous. Downtime dimished due to clarity line. no healing aside from troll regen and runes to dodge taking damage. A class that is really fun to play solo that does not rely on dots. Charm kiting also nets excellent experience in a solo format. Duos well with many classes, specifically shaman | cleric. A cheaper solo class, but does experience costs in the realm of reagents. Twinking to +200 cha is a simple task along with some cheap hp items. High end spells are cheap in comparison.

Shaman - A blast to solo, can handle getting womped on my multiple mobs for a second or two while breakin off some roots. Downtime diminished thanks to regen & canni dancing. An equally fun class without the danger and add in 0 component expenses. Relies on dots exclusively (+pet and possibly slow tanking). Can be highly twinked ftw, but costs are high with this class, especially in the last few levels considering bane, pox & torpor.

just my opinion. two quite fun classes, but i prefer to run them both in duos, because im lazy. My favorite char is shadowknight though, jus sayin. thats a good time

[rollin5k]

yes the speed does increase because the dots actually start to get good dmg for level as you get higher. never gonna kill faster than a charm pet though. shaman dps not strong suit though really. get a barb spiritist hammer if you're a barb, that would help [You must be logged in to view images.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I'm actually really enjoying the enchanter right now, so I think I may still with him for the time being (just wish I had some jboots, but they cost so much now). I think i'll get more used to the group role as time goes on.

Yea, I don't mean to deter you from shaman, just letting you know how it is. Shaman still my favorite, just so bad ass

Imo shamans get more stressful than changers at highest levels! Chanter has to maintain some long-duration buffs and cc and manage a pet sure, but sham has to manage more buffs, debuff, help heal, and canni a ton. At least once pull is CCed chanter is usually able to sit and med for a while unless having terrible luck with charm. Every 60 sham I see is CONSTANTLY busy.

What he said. I stopped playing my Shaman. You haven't got time to take a piss on one. And Shamans cost a friggin fortune to equip. Like 400 to 500k.
