My (fungi-having) shaman's level 46 and I still melee a lot, though. It's just way more mana efficient to slow and tank right now, though that might change at 50 with new dots and harder hitting enemies. Still though, 26-46 isn't an insignificant amount of leveling, so why not just buy a good weapon now (GFG is great but PWC will do) and sell it off later to pay for JBB?

I sold my PWC and bought a Blight at 30 for 800p. Cool stats and same look (as GFG). Melee dps took a big dip but I figured every hit in me was basically a mana-drain. Did a lot of dot rotting and nuking down. Took a swing while I tried to get another root off and hoped for a proc.
The Shaman class is a slow ramp. You just gotta grind thru the suck. Using a Jade 1-20 and a nice 2h 20-29 makes sense. Again if I had a COF and Fungi my game plan would be different but frankly with a moderate budget you don’t want to soak up damage. Just make sure you can JBB at lvl 45 (unless Iksar). I swear my grind 45-52 was easier than 30 and 35 combined. | ||

But I'm sure someone could make some educated guesses about how much leveling time the GFG's slight increase in overall DPS will save between 25 and 45 vs. how much time it takes to buy and sell a GFG (and run from and then back to your leveling spot each time) ... I'm just too lazy. I'd imagine that the numbers are close enough that it just boils down to, how much do you hate the tunnel? But if OP likes the tunnel a better weapon is probably going to be the best bang for his buck until the JBB. The only better use I can think of is maybe a SCHW (2k and probably adds less overall DPS than the GFG, but I'm too lazy to math) or AC/HP rings, both of which are super liquid. Normally I'd value even the slightest DPS increase over any amount of stats, but those rings are just such a good deal for the stats they give.

I hate TunnelQuest but found selling GFG pretty painless as long as you're okay with taking a 500p loss on the item. As in, you'll probably spend a day there.
The alternative is making a thread on the EC subforum, which will take longer but will allow you to set your own time wrt trading. | ||
