Made this char on D2PK. Shitloads of fun, GREAT in pubs, and NOT a cookie-cutter. Something I adore.

If anyone doesn't realize, this isn't a character that's supposed to tank. Just let that sink in for a while.

This is a character where you need to abuse the opponent before they can get you.

This is a whole lot of bull shit to make a rediculously terrible build look good.

Nice try

100's of players have tried this before you, you didn't invent it.
and there's a real good reason they have to sit at town to get their kills ;p


PS.
To prove it I will personally ft5 your "Shaman" anytime you like, lmk.
Don't give bad advice to people, retards here will actually believe you and get frustrated trying to make this bad char work.


Ive made one of these b4. I used ravenlore and didnt know half of the information he gave us and ALSO I dont think I hit any of the Breakpoints I shouldve .... and honestly, It was good. It was fun, I didnt win all the time but it was about par with my gris foher. Shaman is not a useless char and with this build and perfecting the gear, I bet it could actually be a difficult competitor.




P.S.

paladins have no cheap builds and are not easy to play.

you just suck at dueling them, kid :(


and shamans will never be top tier and have a good bunch of problematic matchups. they are not THAT bad and with good eq and a good player im sure they can be fun and kill most average players but they still do lose against good people on better builds than shaman.
maybe shamans are underrated but they are still not GREAT

yeah this seems pretty much correct to me
I dont really understand why many us players seem to think that paladins are overpowered at pub level, but cant be good at high skill level at all
I wouldnt say they are #1 char, but they arent bad either if you can play with them

question, i believe the gm rules say that on a ele druid that if you wear sorb you cant recast your armor.
Since you have such low cyclone armor, would it be much more benefical to wear sorb? Make your gear so you can use tgods/ring slots etc?
Would the sorb outweigh the low armor

my guess is no since no one really does it. Havent tested myself though.
You also have to realize that im vs spirit of the barbs is sad. At lvl 21 im is doing twice as much dmge back to them as to spirit of the barbs.
