sarcon Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Ok, going to roll up a shaman, the one thing i am wondering is... Any advise to which god a shaman should follow? I remember hearing once that as a shaman there is only one god you should follow if you wish to be the best you can be. What you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Shaman isn't nearly as big on rel as cleric is, they're all good and fun. But the rel you're thinking of for the best is Compassion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Totenkopf- Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Does it matter? I only played a single shaman, long ago... They don't have divine intervention or similar AFAIK (or remember). Shouldn't you work out your characters goals and aspirations and work out your religion from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcon Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Here is the thing though, I heard that with a shaman a lot of your spells and other stuff depends on your luck. Hence, there is a god to follow that will actually increase your Luck. That is why I was wondering. Also, long long time ago I remember covus mentioning something about any shaman that didn't follow a certain god is foolish.. I forget what god he mentioned.

samag08 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Luck is beneficial to all classes. Just go with whatever your rp is. There have been many successful shaman in the past and a good few of different religions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 That is why I was wondering. Also' date=' long long time ago I remember covus mentioning something about any shaman that didn't follow a certain god is foolish.. I forget what god he mentioned. Did you ever stop and think that perhaps he was RPing a devout Shaman? I see far too many shaman these days that don't seem to give two sh*ts about their religion. You are essentially a cleric. You will do your Gods will through spreading death and destruction, disease and malnutrition, herpes and syphilis. Get to work! P.S. I'm pretty sure Covus was one of the death religions, Cycle probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Totenkopf- Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Go death religion (or maybe undead shaman ) and try get friendly with any of the undeads, because they are a completely PITA to fight, unless you think you can blind them to death. I remember fighting Blyth with Neraldis. I never killed the shammy, but I had not a worry in the world going and attacking him. I was going to say that shammy nowaday would be an uphill struggle, but if meelee damage in general has actually been toned as I suspect, it might still a very viable combo. Love the fact you don't need super EQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mya Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I would chose religion based on bless affects. + LUCK eq is easy to find and Lucky perk aids. If you ask me, casters luck aids zero with landing Spells. Now spell level equipment is a must. So you probably are stuck with Race + Religion(bless) + CAbal choice. I would say Human because of HP. Duergar has more HP, but harder to train and Vulnerability. Warriors will walk over you with Average 30's Water weapons. Same could be said with Fire Giant. If it's your first shaman, take a Drow and HP gear. It will save you a lot of time. Some people who complain about Mana on Shamans. But i think they have yet to master the art of catching ticks in battle. This is not only for Ogre, but for non meele Clerics to. So for me it's Human Shaman Knoledge Syndicate, with training from 1 practice, and using gear to save on Trains. Can probably pull what ? 750-850 HP base ? Just edited to add, that i estimate around 200 hours of play time to master all your spells/Stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarcon Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Why does everyone keep saying Shamans have no chance againts Undeads? Is this because what.. undeads cant plagued or poisoned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the idea. But I got so used to not using plague or poison because people cheaply hid in their cabals, and nothing was ever done about it. You start pking people once you've ran them out of moves, and start harming away. Don't forget visitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 No, of course not. It's because you cannot curse, weaken, blind, hex, max histeria, visitation and harm. HAhahaha. Muahahaha.. Just got an idea to of how to do something with another class . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinblades713 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I found the same too. imo, you could allow people temple services from anywhere in the lands, and it would still be less cheap than being able to rest it up in a cabal.

Guest emp_newb Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 My entrance test to get into syndi was to fight an undead invoker. We went back and forth for a while, and I sent him running off, then the syndi Imm said that is enough, and let me apply. You can still insomnia to kill regen, and many other things, just a bit more of an uphill fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
