Discord - how do you handle people who just don't log in that much?

34 shaman is beast. They rule the mid-range.

But that's about it. A well- played one is a decent contender later on but that's about the best that could be said about him.

i dont agree. im lvl 55 and shaman is a beast. i think that only necros are better. sks after but theres no best class really. everything has a counter

on discord it will be more about staying alive then getting the first 100 kills

shm looks pretty good at that

i'm half french and play a shm on r99, trust me on knowing what class is good at fleeing

anyone that isn't in the bard AE group that succeeds loses day 1 though, so its irrelevant anyway

I think that if you get caught by a bard group you're pretty toast unless you're DAMNED close to a zone line or get a gate off. There's gonna be soooo much cc/dmg flying at you that moving after they're on you is unlikely (blind, root, snare, etc) to be successful with no MR/resists. SoC will help get you to zone line if you're close tho, can't argue that.

I think shammies are great but I agree with the other statement: if you're not in a serious perma group on day 1, ideally with a bard, you're already just in it for funsies, at which point I wouldn't pick a class that has such a tough climb and high risk (no pet for a while, which means you're taking damage/at more risk while fighting, and charming solo is lols)

29 is a horrible level for solo shammies, and cannibalize at 24 is a pretty damned risky proposition imo. Its no worse than a bunch of other classes really with plenty of its own perks, but I'd rather pick a class with more offensive potential early on if I were going solo and knew my days were numbered. I don't think 19-34 for shammy will be nearly as easy as people are used to if you have to keep hps high and risk low.

Whatever tho. It's all just nonsense talk if you're playing solo. Imo play any non-gear-dependent class you enjoy solo and play well, and enjoy the ride. Just make sure your class is fun in the first 20 levels because it's silly to plan for late-game potential if you have so much stacked against you.

Good luck with your 55 shaman on classic discord bro.

Lemme know how you handle the roaming pvp band with a bard.

with cheetah and safe play, a shm has a decent chance to make it a the zoneline or gate

better then any non-cheetah class that can't dot itself and buff its own resists, right?

i will try to fight a bard opendoors no prob, if not ill just gate away whats the deal? i dont think my lvl 55 shammy will be allowed into discord will he?

ill be playing a rougue, already said it

It is classic - level 50 is the cap.

Rogue will likely be the worst class, warrior being the only one close to the bottom with them. It's doubtful you'll even make it to 10 for backstab. They literally have every possible thing going against them - low hp, no ability to heal, gear dependent with nobody doing dungeons, no access to resist gear, no access to clickies, no gate or escapability of any kind, no ability to solo...you name it.

gear dependent in an era with no gear

The problem with shm is they are weak offensively before 24 and defensively before 19. Getting to 24 isn't going to be that easy. 24-34 they are pretty beast mode though, if a group can carry one that far it'll pay off.
