Your solo strategy changes over time with access to new spells and items. Very briefly though…
Early levels = melee, poison dot, maybe slow, heal with Inner Fire Mid levels = Same thing but slow works better, you have a pet, regen and canni-dance Alt Mid Levels = you might root/rot with disease and you have more than one npc to kill…or slow/pet and kill that way. Higher levels = epic or JBB, slow and root. Regen and canni-dance mana back or canni down and AFK a bit 60 = torp changes everything. Lots of clicking and slow kills. It’s a marathon. Grouping: Early levels = Buffs don’t last long or help much. Basically you melee, spot heal and inner fire heal after the fight Mid levels = buff, slow, maybe haste, heal High levels = buff, maybe haste, slow, likely won’t heal. Might JBB or epic click. 60 = same as High level but likely will torp heal unless you have a cleric. Won’t haste if you have an enchanter or likely with a bard. | ||

Solo as a shaman sucks until you get your epic and Paralyzing Earth at 56. Its grueling before that, and very easy after that. Dont care what anyone else says

Soloing on a Shaman:
1. Use Silver Chitin Hand Wraps + Poison Wind Censor + Slow for the first 45 levels. Face tank the mob, melee the mob, and root adds off to the side. This is generally faster than root/rotting in early levels, because lower level Shaman DoTs don't have great damage to mana ratios. You can swap to Granite Face Grinder at 30 if you want a bit more DPS and some stats. Use your pet once you get it at 34. 2a. Once you are 45, if you are not an Iksar, switch to using JBB + Blight, Hammer of the Scourge. This combo can take you from 45-60. Anybody who claims that JBB isn't good past 52 doesn't know what they are talking about. Math disproves this claim quite easily. Slow the mob, melee with Blight, Hammer of the Scourge, spam JBB, and have your pet hitting the mob from behind. Root adds off to the side. 2b. Once you are 45, if you are an Iksar, you will need to switch to root/rotting from 45-60. Root the mob, slow the mob, send in your pet, and DoT the mob until dead. Canni Dance to restore your mana during the fight when you are not casting spells. 2c. Once you are 50, if you can afford Epic AND Torpor before level 60, you can use Epic to level from 50-60 instead of JBB or standard root/rotting. Epic will be the fastest leveling option if you can consistently kill 3+ mobs per fight. Root the mobs, apply Epic, and watch them die. You can use other DoTs and pet to speed up kills if you want, just don't end up causing yourself downtime between pulls due to low mana. 3. Save all your money for Torpor. If you have to choose between Torpor or Epic, pick Torpor. It's better to be level 60 with Torpor and no Epic, than level 60 with Epic and no Torpor. You can resell JBB if you need to once you reach 60 to help fund Torpor. Try to get Fungi Tunic, Fungi Staff, and Black Fur Boots before level 60 if you can. Those will speed up your leveling process too. As with the JBB, you can resell them once you hit 60 to fund Torpor if needed. That is one major reason why you shouldn't blow all your money on Epic before you hit 60. You can't resell it, so you will need enough money for both Epic and Torpor before you hit 60 if you want to level with Epic.

Getting the upgraded root at level 56 was nice and all but it didn't make that big of a difference. I was just using my level 34 root or whatever it was until then for the longer duration

Whats the point of being in melee range if ur just spamming jbb ?
So you can auto attack once every 10 seconds for 30 dmg ? | ||

In terms of DPS, you are getting around 6 DPS from Blight, Hammer of the Scourge when taking into account proc damage and white damage while spammng JBB. For reference, the 55 Shaman pet with haste is roughly 17 DPS and JBB is 32 DPS when spamming it.
