What if you don't want to be an Evil Shaman? - Page 5

Iksar best. Bad faction can be a hindrance, but on the other hand, if everyone already hates you you can grind on guards/treants/etc without messing anything up

I tend to agree, although they can't use a JBB and Iksar armor graphics look like poo

I can't always follow the crowd on so and so is best for that class. Whatever game I'm playing (style of game) I have a vision in my mind of each class and if there isn't a race that matches up well or I just can't stand then I don't play them. The roleplay in my mind has to sit right. If I play a nature based hunter type then I am playing some type of Elf, a gun toting hunter would be a dwarf, I just have to be able to visualize my Character and in this instance no matter how hard I tried I couldn't see myself playing a Shaman as any of the evil races, but Barb worked because of my extensive reading and my personal thought processes on it. I have nothing against Iskar as I have a Necro one (because it made since in my mind not because everyone said to) because Necromancer SCREAMS Evil. So you see my dilemma. If it doesn't work in my mind I have to do something else or not do it at all. LOL Welcome to my twisted mind.

Not to hijack, but I managed to claw my way up to level 35.4 as an Iksar shaman, but the grind is getting to me. Is the best (or least sanity-wrecking) soloing method just killing hags in Unrest or ganking SK gnolls/delivering their scrolls? For grouping I do KC wall/SolA which works nicely.

Find a melee and duo the gnomes in SolA. Maybe soloable, but I seem to remember them having really high MR. Not 100% sure on that. Either way, fantastic xp into the 40s as long as you don't mind decimating your gnome faction, which as an Iksar, I'd imagine is already kos.

Personally I did a lot of SK gnolls (and centaurs, aviaks, elephants, lions ... I <3 South Karana). But if you don't like it and SolA doesn't work out (or you can't find a duo partner) check out the Per-Level Hunting Guide; there's a link in my signature.

It's basically just a page with over a hundred different ideas for places to solo/duo/trio, and the vast majority of them are Shaman-doable.

Yeah, I have that page bookmarked, but I ended up going with the Evil Shaman Solo Guide's suggestion of camping the guards over at the NK/SK zoneline. Mostly since gnolls were camped by level 40s (???) so I just got a bunch of xp over there. Pretty quick and easy!

Good to know. I thought I added all of the places in that guide years ago, but I guess I missed some.

/em adds thread to the overflowing folder of bookmarked threads that have something I need to add to the guide ...

Hmm, I do hate gnomes. I was there a day or two ago with a twinked SK, it was nice.

This.

Also, check out the wiki's Per-Level Hunting Guide (link in my signature). It has places for every race of Shaman (or any other soloing class) to hunt. You don't really need tips or tricks beyond that: just go explore and you'll figure everything out.
