Gear questions

[Troxx]

I recently met a shaman who sat at 100% health, never cast canni, sent in pet and JBB’d in groups and would then need lots of med breaks ... in a group. I had a chat in private and was given the explanation “I don’t like to cast canni”.

In defense of this unnamed player, they’ve since changed their ways and will now actually do shamanly things while grouping.

Excluding epic rotting 3-5 mobs at a time, Shamans are mediocre at soloing for xp. 20-59 (again, excluding epic) xp will always be better snagging at least a melee partner and playing your shaman like a shaman (vs a watered down half-powered mage).

Even at 60 they don’t kill particularly fast, but dat slow/torpor/canni thing makes them a slow steady juggernaut that can tackle tough content on their own.
