Starting a Shaman

[Motec]

No 60 shaman cares if they have innate regen or not. This is fact. Past level 50
Every non ogre 60 shaman that cops a bash and loses 200-300 mana in the process (from losing HP from being hit another round).
Every non ogre 60 shaman that gets a slow resist and eats a bash, bla bla bla.

Those who say it is irrelevent, have not played both or are ignorant to their surroundings. The solo potential is huge. Even channeling JBB without being bashed makes up for not having regen. Noone says regen is bad, just that it is inferior to other racials in the high end kunark/velious game.

How likely is it that anyone making a thread like this is going to become a 60 shaman?

Sure make an ogre if you're one of the "the game starts at level 60" people. Otherwise make whatever you want.

im not a fan of any thing instant, there has to be the adventure, the journey from beginning to where it keeps on going, no end, though everquest is a ever going quest for some people,

but being one in any top guild, and getting 60, best gear you can get, seeing everything, there is a end in a way, and also not, due to vp will be out at some time, and the other fun dungeons, yea if you want to solo much easier, iksars are good for that, but i'd say stay away from the scales, fun race, have enjoyed lvling 1-51 in only/mostly kunark

but i play this game much diffrent then others, i figured back in jan 2010 to like may, i lvld 1-50 and saw all the old world stuff, and just helped others

and so i thought it'd be cool to play a iksar, lvling only in kunark was fun, but im not fond of the race, even with scales my guy's a little brittle

Rawrriowars are better.

Get your wis to a good level first (I'd say 200 but that's just me), then work on your hp. Several reasons to that (in no specific order):

- Sta is great but the return you have is fairly low (in term of hp / mana), it usually pays off to invest in straight hp gear unless you have access to top gear

- HP is important as you convert it to mana (cani) and convert mana to HP (heal)

- The 2 points before might lead you to think that your mana pool is not important (hence HP > mana). This is true to a certain extent: when you are in a "Oh shit" situation, the larger your mana pool, the more flexibility (read ease to survive) you have: instead of spending time to cani your hp down to try to keep things under control, you spend your time actually sorting things out (killing mobs, rooting them, healing your team mates...)

Coming to the race, if you're a min-maxer you only have 2 choices:
- Troll (improved regen + access to JBB)
- Ogre (fromtal stun immunity will prevent some spell to be interrupted when you get beaten on)

If you're not, go with the look (you'll be looking at that character's ass for long hours, take something pleasant to your eyes).

What do Iksar Shaman wear for boots since they can't equip GEBs? And how about helmet options too?
