One thing I noticed recently, I can't remember the last time I grouped with a barb shaman in KC or Sebilis...

In fact barb rogues seem to be scarce. People getting lazy at character creation about having to do 8 levels in Everfrost?

Just because it hasn't been mentioned yet: Iksars also lack Slam, which is your only real recourse for interrupting spells unless you have your dogdog, who is unreliable at best. Also, if iksars are capable of getting it, there is a lot of faction grinding required for the SoulFire. Until it's nerfed it's still a very powerful item, especially for Shamans since they are already highly efficient at solo/duo content.

When asked, I always recommend Troll for shaman race, since they get Slam, regen, high stamina, clicky snare, JBB. Besides the "Ogre Argument" that always comes up, I think this is probably the best min/max type shaman, since regen is paramount to how many buffs/debuffs/whatever you can put out, and iksars lack the other features.

It's all how you want to play. Iksars get the same regen as trolls (afaik) so the mana potential is the same on raids as them, and JBB isn't going to make or break a raid.

My shaman is a barbarian. It's how I played in classic, and being good-aligned is pretty undervalued. You will rarely see any other shaman race randomly buffing lowbies in Qeynos, Rivervale, Kaladim etc. Plus they are just god damned handsome, can't beat the woad/kilt combo.

In all seriousness, at 56 you get paralyzing earth. With your epic and a 3 min root you can kill up to 5 or 6 at a time. Jbb isn't required whatsoever if

your mission is to hit 60. Even then the lower level roots still do the job, just require more attention to keep a timer on that root. They key thing here though is having your epic.

But if you aren't iksar then clearly having a jbb is one of your most useful tools, specially in groups or some kind of duo.


Races imo Ogre > Troll > Barb > Iksar, thats just me bud, but play what you love.

JBB is indeed awesome for soloing.

For example, watching a non JBB shaman solo Sebilis scarabs makes me want to slit my wrists.

Ogres may not appeal to your ideal body type aesthetic, but shamans can shrink anyway.

Barb rogues are scarce now? GOOD. Rogues aren't supposed to be big clumsy grunting dorks.

As Syrio Forel would say, "bloody oafs..."

I made many barb rogue friends along the way though. Mainly because they were freaking everywhere when I was leveling! <3 you all. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
