Average Riposte damage in 9 seconds with weighted axe is close to goblin HP, I think. Might be interesting to try and see if there's a sweet spot or if they're just a bit too strong/the casters get you. If you kite for at least 7 minutes all the damage shields will be down as well.

Hour long recharge on the disc might make it bad even if you can fill your whole bags in 15 minutes, but it gives a natural time to go sell, so maybe?
I used to solo huuuuge chunks of the hole on vox with a 70 warrior with a 70/70 axe.

Basically pull all the ghost tower, ball them up, corner up, hit riposte and rampage. Was a few aa per pull. I think your idea may have merit.

seems like pro level theorycraft here I would love to hear someone trying but I don't think I will have the chance this lifetime to max level a warrior and get him geared out.

I think I've got it in me to level up 1 more guy if red 2.0 comes out but otherwise I don't know. Thats why I've always liked item loot pvp at low levels because you can jump into meaningful combat with players without grinding much at all.

When ppl say shaman is easier, idk how I feel about that

My enchanter was the easiest experience I’ve ever had playing p99
It felt like I was playing the game on easy mode or with cheat codes

Everyone was my best friend and I never had bad groups because by virtue of being a good enchanter, I made the groups good by charming OP mobs and basically keeping everything CC’d

On my shaman it feels like getting a good group can be challenging, and I’ve almost never had an enchanter in my group, thus making the grouping experience much harder, and quite frankly, it’s exhausting af to play a shaman compared to almost any other class. I do it all though, I’m not one of those lazy shamans who sit there meditating and who never use a pet, slow/root, or buff. I do all that and main heal in between mashing cannibalize 500 times a minute.

When people say "easier", they just mean you don't need to put quite as much effort into a Torpor Shaman.

Enchanters have many tools to make this game much easier, but charming in general requires more brain power. This is because charm breaks are random, so you need to spend more attention span to stay up to date on your pet's status.

When Shaman's solo, their playstyle is very consistent. Either you slow the mob in the first minute and win, or don't slow the mob and reset the fight. You can just Gina all of the important spells, because they won't randomly break.

Any shaman just needs to find a similar level monk or warrior. Duo 4 lyfe.
