Shamans

[daasgoot]

skimmed a little bit since my last post, i feel like some of you guys coming at me didn't read my original post.

i think shamans are great for group+ pvp.. they bring alot to the table. obviously buffs and heals... but additionally the DOTS and Debuff's are more effective in group pvp because the target would have to stop to dispell/cure and that would leave them extremely vulnerable to the melee's stomping their face.

to call shaman's great solo PVP'rs i think is a gross overstatement, any good player will pell/cure anything the shaman can throw at them.

even if someone is not prepared and doesn't have cure pots, they will most likely make it to a ZL before your DOT stack can finish them.

On live as a shaman the only things that ever made me leave the zone 1v1 were paladins after they got their disease/poison combined into one cure, bards, and epic mages during kunark-> velious.

At the very least they would need help to push me out of a zone, or would have to leave in frustration because I will eventually win. I also never cast any poison dot after the first month I had bane. Would just use insid decay, -> overwrite with malady and use pox/plague while jousting with a scourge hammer (after you could stack multiple levels of dots obviously).

The fact that I've never seen insidious decay ever cast on this server despite it being a core spell on live just highlights how messed up the shaman resist code is.

unholy aura and primal gonna make ya'll weep

primal = old melee damage

unholy aura = gibbed at 40%

I'm glad you were able to theorycraft and figured this out but this is very old news to anyone who actually pvp'd during classic. You know like players who played wizards and know shock of lighting landed like a lure.

Sicken and I.Malady are disease based so they would not effect poison based spells or add counters.

VoS is 7 counters, Bane of Nife is 10 counters

To cast both would be around 10 second including item click spell refresh.

Counteract poison pots are 2 secs and remove 8 counters, so what would take 10 seconds to cast would take 6 seconds to remove(since items don't have global refresh)

Not to mention that the shaman is now down 585 mana and the potion users didn't spend a thing.

It's amazing that people would push for poisons to be resisted at 80 PR when you consider all that.

so you win a fight through attrition and they zone and die/plug

somehow that means you aren't good at 1v1?

I guess that's why you use Imbued fighter staff and not T-Staff because you're happy causing more dmg and pushing them to the zoneline faster and not getting the kill...oh wait you use a T-staff.

"I'd much rather people zone from me than get YT"

Said no one ever.

how the fuck does saying winning a 1v1 and not getting yellowtext come anywhere close to your idea of using an IFS over a tstaff to do more damage and not get a kill

which still doesn't make sense because a tstaff does more DPS than an IFS

im not one of those tards that /tell "name" in ooc if someone gets away from me.

It's either YT or fail.. i want to sit on the persons face when the fight is over.. not boast in /ooc about how i almost killed someone.
