60 ENC and 60 SHM gearing each other through soloing

[Toxigen]

Get all shaman spells.

Shaman epic MQ.

Fungi.

Now all solo cash camps are yours to steamroll. Save for a Zlandicar's Heart. When you're bored of the shaman, buy a Z heart for your enchanter...its arguably better / more important than epic for solo enc.

I was under the impression that fungi and epic were more for lvlling. Is it like torpor/spells is reaching 90% of your solo potential and fungi/epic is the last 10%?

Epic you'll use 100%. Fungi is debatable...but unless you want to pay for loot rights on a Vindi BP...its still your overall best bet.

Plus you'll have the fungi for your inevitable melee mega-twink.

Agreed, Fungi honestly isn't necessary once you have Torpor. It is still a great item if you don't have Vindi BP, but I wouldn't prioritize that unless you have nothing else to buy.

As you say, that Fungi would work better on a melee twink anyway.

If you are referring to Shamans, Torpor is a game changer. Many classes do not get a game changer as big as Torpor, so it makes sense why it can be hard to understand for players who haven't played a class with this.

Shamans spells are VERY mana heavy, so playing without Torpor limits what a Shaman can do quite a bit in all aspects (solo, grouping, raiding). That is why all Shamans want a Fungi Tunic + Fungi Staff + Black Fur Boots + Epic + JBB + any other mana saving clickie before level 60. That is the only way Shamans can offset their high mana cost spells before Torpor.

Obviously Shamans must get to 60 without Torpor, but it is a fairly limited path if you want to do it with any efficiency. Once you hit 60 your Shaman honestly cannot do a lot of good content without Torpor. This means your level 60 Shaman without Torpor isn't much different from your Shaman before level 60.

The biggest spell improvement (besides Torpor) at level 60 is Malo. Unfortunately since your level 59 Shaman can't solo a lot of harder content to begin with due to not having Torpor, Malo isn't as useful as you think. This is because most mobs you would be fighting at 59 are enough levels below you to have Malosini land consistently enough anyway. Malo is really used for harder mobs that have higher level/resistances. But as mentioned above, you cannot fight said harder mobs without Torpor usually. This means your mob selection between 59 and 60 doesn't really change until you get Torpor. Also, Malo is 150 more mana, so again it considerably reduces how many spells you can cast before you run out of mana and HP to cannibalize.

Malo is still good in grouping scenarios without Torpor, so it will give you a leg up when looking for groups that do harder content, such as Ixiblat Fer. However, there are plenty of Torpor Shamans on the server, so you will probably get passed over for a Torpor Shaman if that group had a choice.

torp is single handedly the most OP i've ever felt in this game haha I was like, oh I'm invincible now...

It's like, worst case senario happens, mobs everywhere, pet breaks, shaman casts 2 short cast spells, everyone is invincible.

The Enchanter with Bedlam can solo mobs that drop crowns and thrones in PoM if you want to farm plat to deck out the shaman. Torpor > Epic > Fungi seems to be the road.

i have to admit torpor is pretty cool but i'd probalby quit my shaman once i got it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
