If you are afraid that group cannot beat shamans, then 1 point into powerstrike for a person or two will help. Max your double strike, cross strike, and put a safety of 1 into powerstrike. Encourage one other person in your group to also gain a 3rd skill of 1 point into powerstrike.

Doing this will eleviate the need to run from that quest. When I play, I stat, skill, and choose gear according to my group makeup needs. I know I may be a unique case that I can cast/tank/heal/melee/hybrid on any class. My point is that I do what's best for the group I'm in and not "what is good for your character type". It's a bit different of a philosophy and it works well with us cause we maintain the same group 1-71. However, if you realize this shortcoming in your climbs, save yourself the frustration and place 1 point into Powershot...

I've only been unable to complete shamans once, and two of the 5 members were brand new to the game, the other was Paparick, and 1 other person.

Given that the quest is easily beaten by targeting more than one, its just my personal opinion that charging abilities that attack more than one will do better than having a 10% chance to gain 10% every hit towards power shot.

I just don't want to waste of my few ability points is all

I'll try to fall in line with the standard everyone else has set and just kick them from my group next time.

That's the spirit!

Yes, excuse paparick and I for encouraging game play by assisting and leveling with new players still using t3 items with no EE at 22.

He was (probably) implying that you were an elitist because you called them noobs... not because you were carrying them.

I still think you don't even know what the word elitism means, as carrying noobs is probably the opposite of elitism, yet you thought that's why he used it.

Honestly, if this is a problem in groups, encourage ppl to stat 1 point into PowerStrike and save it for EPs and Shaman. I can't imagine that that when the shaman is nearly dead and someone uses a 200% powerstrike that it won't die no matter what the EE is...

Maybe this chart below will help in the planning (selfless advertisement & I keep it copied in my profile)

Doublestrike / TwoHitBack = more dmg vs 2 mob and better suited... and if in conjunction with multistrike, you have better
chances of displacing Healing AI on some of the monsters... just my thought.

1 point into PoweStrike is not bad for pure melee... luckily I make hybrids and 1-3 points into Salvation is better suited for me.

aren't they all weak?

1 or 2 will have higher defense to melee than normal

Never give up!

Voted "Wtf who does that"

If people start saying NG or w/e I just attack there manhood and call them sissys. This usually snaps them out of there quitter attitude and gets them hacking and slashing.

Would be on par with getting kicked just because I am in gay pride guild.

Get some Preperation H to cure up that pained ass, mate. You AFK'd in a game that three friends were running, the three hit 71 and MQ'd, you were left behind. Shit happens. If that's your defining moment in Ladderslasher, you've got issues. If it's not, pull up your big girl panties and get over it.

Does help, no lies.

Sorry, but I didnt afk and it wasnt three friends you were running with because you ditched three of us. You and ahotterotter ditched myself and two others

Im over it buddy! Cause I dont slash with you anymore!! :hug:

Not everyone has a loaded guild only climb..
Sometimes the group just isnt good enough or some people are inept at listening to directions.
No need to sit there for an hour wasting time if that is the case.
