Monk or Sham - who utilizes fungi more?

[Andyman976]

I thought they did too. But JBB could still be useful in luclin? Iksar have the shittiest piercing animation in game

[sox7d]

calculate the mana/hp ratio of canni, compare that to the hp/mana ratio of heal. If it more than cancels out, sham, else, monk.

Explain

[Clark]

Monk if you enjoy melee classes, and a more pressured and influential role raiding.

Shaman if you enjoy caster classes, with more of a buffing and home-base role raiding.

Both classes are outstanding.

[falkun]

Shaman are much better at end-game soloing. I personally think monk would be more fun, but you have to learn how to be a good pulling monk and not some shitty scrub DPS monk. Monk will get more mileage out of Fungi due to not being able to cast heal/regen on themselves like a shaman, but its pretty much the #1/2 item for both classes 1-60 (other top item being the epics for each class).

[Fanguru]

Leveling-up a twinked monk with fungy and decent weapons is a fantastic feeling for the first levels. You feel overpowered happily killing red mobs without downtime in the newbie zones.

Fungi is best for a Solo Monk, Fungi helps a Shaman a lot more in the grouping aspect.

But sure it helps them solo also, but the AC, Agi, Dex hit on the Fungi sucks when fighting toe to toe high end.. A Fungi in a Group now, high level, is sort of a waste of time figuring fights only last about 20 to 30 seconds. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Now Velious, that will be a way different story. But like I said above, better stats will probably work out better in the long run over re gen. Cleric Complete Heal sort of negates a Fungi in fights. Now everyone sitting to med, put on the Fungi to help the Healer from having to heal the Melee's as much before the next pull.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So false.

[mefdinkins]

choose whatever class you want more.

EQ classes are so diverse that some people get caught up in 'grass is greener' syndrome.

Either class will be strong with fungi.

Neither really bothers wearing it at 60. And Chardok takes all those with means to 60 with or without gear :P
