Awesome. Might swap a few zones in and out for a change of scenery, but thats great.

Raiders in TD are good at 26ish too. Nice little blobs of XP sitting far enough away from their friends to make them soloable

Great guide, made a shaman after reading this a while ago. I'm kinda tired of the crocs and orcs in Oasis, what else is nice to solo at lvl 20?

Awesome guide!

I'm struggling at 19 though. Even though you get new spells none seem to really help a solo shammy. I'm currently trying to farm crocs in oasis but that place is heavily farmed...could use some advice on an alternative spot.

I tried the SK camp too, but again I felt like I was running all over looking for something to kill.

UGuk maybe???

Also looking for an alternative 19-24...oasis crocs are camped pretty hard.

SK was ok, but I felt like I was running all over with the low mob density.

Unrest??

Too lazy to read all, so I'll just post in the blind. A good alt for 19-24 is Highpass, Orcs and Gnolls. Xp is okay, turn ins, and faction adj so evil races will be gtg. Did this spot w/ogre war and am amiable to guards and merchs in HP, Hk, Fp, etc. u get the point.

I've just gotten my first pet and am a little confused. There seems to be a general consensus that getting the pet is life-changing for soloing, but to me it doesn't seem that way. If you let the pet tank you have to spend even more mana on top of your dots to keep him healed, as he doesn't take a beating very well. If you root rot, well, you can't use your pet because then your pet would just end up tanking. No kind of slow for kiting. I see where the pet becomes free damage if I do the tanking myself, but I still have to spend my mana on keeping myself healed and slowed just like I would if the pet were tanking. My gear is standard as mentioned in the guide and not twinked (scaled mythic armor, HP rings, Jade Chokidai Prod, Charred Guardian Shield, etc.).

What am I missing? I feel like mobs are always going to be hitting something if I'm using my pet, so what is the proper way to use it to maximize efficiency? Thanks in advance for the help!

Send pet in, back him off once he gets low and make him /sit til he regens. He's not great damage, but some added dps and mana free after the initial cast. Also, once a mob is below 20% and flees, send pet in and he will finish it and not get hit.
Til higher up, don't worry bout buffs or heals on pet, just treat him like a dot, not a pet!. It takes too much mana healing him and buffing etc when you are low.
Root rot mob, send pet in til pet is 40%hp, back off, send pet in again when mob flees.
Pet also works to split mobs, you root one - send pet on other, root other without aggro, then back off pet.
These are the things that are useful and really help. Don't think of him like a pet like a Mage/necro - there pets are a lot better.
Also, camp one of the Mage clickie items, to reclaim mana on pets. They are clickable by any class from inventory slot. That way you can keep casting til you get a max level pet, this also makes the pet last a bit longer in fights and do a bit more damage. The items are soloae at 34. I did it as iksar in full banded, so any sham should be able to.

I make a pet with my shaman for only one of two reason, to distract a mob while I break the camp, or to manage a summoning mob.. but 90% of my time as a shaman is with no pet.. People tell me I play it a lot like its an enchanter, but it works for me! I always see them as a caster class that can wear cooler armor way before Id see them as a pet class. Ive never really needed one.

Once you get 5 or 6 goblin nets too, you wont need a pet for breaking like 90% of the camps out there.

Edit* OK a 3rd reason would be to RP having a pet dog.

This has been a great guide/read. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for making some PP and or XP at 53. I haven't played him in about a year but I was hoping to try to save up to get his epic and what not. Lguk sounds like it would be pretty tough without Epic. Anyone have any off the wall spots that might be good?
