Now, what is saying you can't have one of each type? Then you can switch between them depending on the situation. And there are situations that each buffbot does shine in

Hey now! What do you think you are doing bringing logic into the conversation for Pent?

I can't believe you guys are arguing(and losing) with Password...


fixed~

also pissed kid is pissed hes wrong and im right

its okay though he doesn't know that power charges and rr5 can be used simultaneously its okay hes new to daoc



You think I'm pissed because you can't make a valid point, rofl were you dropped as a child? It's ok we all know that you are a sad lonely man via the real life.
Your only arguement is a class is better based SOLELY on it's 10min (5%/tick every 3sec) that takes 30sec to reach 50% rr5 ability. (Which is actually pretty pathetic)
My arguement is that a druid/cleric hands down without question brings "MORE" utility to a group, than a shaman ever will. End of story, there is no arguement to that.

as soon as you called mental a good player i fell from my chair from laughter

you have a lot to learn trying to troll me though



I have more experience, versatility and knowledge of all aspects of this game than you ever will.
Keep doing what you do best, troll the VN boards because we all know you damn sure not only suck at life but this game as well.


P.S. You still haven't listed any "ADVANTAGES" a shaman has over druid/cleric. Just thought I'd point out seeing how you keep avoiding.

Thank you all for your various input. I must say I regret that it has come to what it has, but I appreciate that you all are trying to help and you all make good points. I think in the end what I have taken away is that I should roll/level one of each for various situations. Again thank you for your input and good luck in the game!

fixed that for ya pal

no other main buffer can restore as much power to the group as the shaman can. that alone makes him hands down the best buffbot

God I hope you were kidding with that correction.

If you are then

If you are not then and then

Greg, you have a raging hard on for shamans, and face it, like your raging hard on for the same sex, it isn't main stream, so get over it.

JerkyDale,

Basically I think Shamans are first choice, but I'm in the extreme minority. Healing is really overpowered on this server, so don't worry too much about cleric/druid, vs Shaman, Shaman comes in third here, no doubt but if your tank and PBAoER can play well or at least learn to, your healers won't get aggro that often, and Shamans can keep all three of the toons up np.

Clerics do have the nice AF buff, and the heal proc, but again they are not that huge a deal. where clerics and Druids really stand out is their RA's. BoF is pretty much a big deal. So that and the occasion when you will need an insta heal the druid and cleric are nice to have. But really you shouldn't need a insta heal that often. Shamans can spec one with RA's too btw.

While whatever bot you decide to play I'm sure you will be fine. Clerics and Druids get nice buffs, but I'd like to rate druids third. The kick ass buffs druids get benefit healers, and PBAoERs least, and tanks and their own pet most. Druids are a 1st choice if you have say a Warlock/Wizzy or Bain in your mix because the pet helps with siege a ton and the speed is pretty cool. But I digress you have an SM.

So get a cleric or a shaman. I prefer Shaman, because RR 5 is awesome. It's basically a full power bar of casting if you don't get interrupted too much on Boomer. Clerics are best though if your friend plays Pally for sure. But more importantly I'd recommend you don't play both Boom and heals. Try heals and tank, or tank and Boom. Your combo is the hardest of the three to try out. You won't just have a harder time taking keeps with heals and boom, but a slower one because stopping to boom, to heal, and vice-verse. Unless of course you have it cleverly tied in with some not so TOS abiding program in which case you are on your own anyway, you prefer it that way.

Good luck!
