lets see:

obv depends on druid type. Your shitty melee druids will get bone prisoned and die, course melee druids lose to everything but melee druids (actually they lose to melee druids too)
even my bladesin beats melee druids

If you wanna see what Shaman vs Necro is like, refer to the video in the OP

rest of 10 pages didn't really have anything worth respondoring :S


The problem is - that nec is a joke that didn't even move.

Nec can recast bone armor for physical damage.
Nec can wear hotspurs for fire damage.

You won't win.

he is talking about shaper, not druids in general
a bit bad phrasing I suppose

E: and that damage blows was mostly for maxblock pallies, you can kill many sorcs really fast

well damage pretty much blows

hammers are annoying just for the fact that they take a looooooong time to kill, and they get all the opportunities in world to predict walks
smiters are also annoying, I could defwhore vs them but it takes aaaageees to kill them as well, charge hits bear or sage sometimes, doesnt really matter without tap, but all smiters use exile here

but its fun to play
and costed like 200fg


hey toodey do you know any filthy gers?

apparently that shaman video is "blocked in germany" by youtube
O_o

That was 3 different necros not 1 -.-
And Shaman vs Necro is one of the most involved duels there is.

Shaman can 1-2 punch through bone armor with volcano/grizzly combo- kills bone armor instantly and puts him into FHR at least once, means large HP chunk removed
Necro can also wear 2x dwarf stars & rising sun and revive mass urdars if he wanted, too.


Narr I've dueled basically every good necro (clarification: nobody from past 1-2 years qualifies as good), and shaman vs necro is definitely an even duel.
Both chars have an answer for everything the opponent does, the only way to win is to keep switching up tactics

I made one recently and without any lifers/only about 4 skillers...

I found that in pubs I was able to kill a good deal of sorcs/Bowazons (Very Easy) with volcano/tele bear. --Fire Sorcs were the hardest due to splash. Good sorcs/Zons did however give me some trouble, but I didn't really commit myself to the character as I missed by bone necro too much, and thus didn't have time to practice.

Melee characters tended to be boring duels as it was nothing but place fissure...run...place fissure...run...place fissure...run. I'd say I won most of these duels/they ended because the guy decided to quit chasing me.

I didn't play against many Bone Necros...but they beat me more often than I beat them.

IIRC trappers were a bit of a problem for me.


All in all...I'd say that with a little bit of practice this character could be very good for pub duels, as I was able to perform decently with hardly any practice/No lifers.
I ONLY used this character in random pub games, and I imagine I would have gotten completely stompped by people who knew how to play their class...then again if you knew how to play the class well then you'd probably have a chance.

Awaiting the masses of people to call me a noob/challenge me to a duel...

Sounds pretty normal from what I've heard from other people who have tried shamans- its a tough char to get completely used to, and theres so many little tricks you need to perfect yourself at in order to make it work the best. Like against fire sorcs, you need to be able to quickly teleport behind them for a bearswipe, *not* namelock teleport, which is something hard to master. And shaman vs necro all boils down to whos better at their char, and necros a pretty easy char to get used to


but yeah, glad to see you understood what I meant when I ranked bowazons (very easy) even if the super-duper good ones can be a pain :")
shaman vs bowazon is hi-larious dool

you used a shrine by accident, so I stopped dueling and starting launching molten boulders since I thought you were gonna back off and stop -.-

did you think those were srs boulders? :)


Fade+skill shrine=low duration.

Bearsin=+skills don't do much.

btw, kick/trap hybrids blow, no idea how you can expect this char to do well vs good chars if you struggle vs a kick/trap that can transform (free opening).
