Ol' eq vet playing blue, Rolling red?

[Sasquatchsquad]

Yeah I was thinking hard about roleing a shaman when I started on blue, ended up going with monk (not sure why).
I read a post recently breaking down just how much better shamans are than druids in group situations (Slow/Haste/Own line buffs/Canni). Really got me wanting to role a shaman again. If I do get my brother to play I prolly will go shm, but in that case would something like Rogue actually go all that well? I mean...rogue be tank...No b/s =(. Something like warrior/monk prolly be better huh? Any thoughts for a fun shm combo?

yeh u tank with slow & he backstabs with haste
profit

Ah hadn't really thought of that. Shamans have reliable way to hold aggro?

[big league chew]

yeah slow should grab it for a while, could root it and have tank stand closest, im sure some other diseases and whatnot are probably good too

shm+melee one of the best combos

clr+sk still the best tho imo

starts on blue

wants gear, the end

Just my opinion, but the shm class was the funnest class I have played in EQ thus far. As for agro, if you hit the mob with a slow and stats debuff (cripple line) you should have no issues holding agro. That being said, holding agro is one thing, surviving is another. A shm that wants to tank, just like any tanking class, is heavily gear dependent.

Ok well shm/rog sounding pretty good in my book. And Tomato, not sure what you mean exactly. Do I want gear in eq? Hell Yeah, of course. Isn't this a game about leveling up, making friends, and collecting cool shiny things?
