Nightmare_from_hell Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Have there ever been any that were at least decently good? I would expect that their low mana would not make them all that effective, would I be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofsixpence Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I do remember some *very* good FG shamans...but I seem to remember that being before the loss of enhanced damage as well. Now that shaman's no longer get that, I can see an FG shaman being extremely hard to play, and being even more tactical than they used to. Short Answer: Yes, they are ineffective if played like other shamans. Long Answer: I think they could do pretty well if you really know the class well, have extreme patience, and have good understanding of supplemental items.

Chayesh Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I would think go hit/dam because you're gonna get dispelled. If you're bashing their skulls in, you won't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I would think not to play one, ever. Three practices for everything, and the training will not be worth the drama and heart break you will get. You will spend 200 hours training, and one second deleting.

CruelEdict Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 One comes to mind... Nydardoloth (sp?) Ah yes, the olden days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Shamans would need training for their mals to be at their most effective. Training spells with a fire-giant? I'd rather quarry my face out with a rusty spoon. I think there have been a couple of good FG shamans in the past but I can't remember. Might be a viable option if like said, you have a good knowledge of shamans, and are sick enough to ever want to train an FG. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflayer Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Heh fire giant shamans... as effective as faerie berserkers.. Deykari, roll it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Are you sure? I thought was Ugresh a Savant FG Shaman? Or was he a cleric? Actually, I can't properly remember...I might have dreamed somebody called Ugresh... :confused: Oh, and an FG shaman/Fae Zerk has nothing on an FG invoker for pure PK gimpage.

L-A Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Ugresh was a fg cleric. Nydarloth (sp) was a 1.0 FG CHAOS FG Shaman. Both EQ and a certain shaman spells were different back then. L-A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Ugresh was a fg cleric. Nydarloth (sp) was a 1.0 FG CHAOS FG Shaman. Both EQ and a certain shaman spells were different back then. L-A I remember that guy. He PK'd my 80/60 hitdam fire warrior justice. And when I got back to my (empty) corpse, he sat on it and farted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celerity Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Yeah, I think he is the one I beat with about 100/90 hit/dam with a fire zerk using a frostbrand. Maybe? I think it was the first incarnation of Nydardoloth..there were a few nydars I think. bigmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 The fact of a fire giant having that hit/dam makes me poo my pants, and the fact that someone beat one with that hit/dam makes me poo them even more. That's disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 What about a fg using a frostband? That's scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_Reefer Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 A FG shammy with a lot of time and care put into in a certain cabal to remain un-named would be like an unstoppable force of disease and hatred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruelEdict Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 You sicken me. 100/90? I suppose I don't see that often playing Heralds and Bards, eh?

H&R Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 You'll likely never see it again either because of the eq changes. It's possible. I could reach 70/70 (maybe even more) with Nortak if I went all hit/dam. Add a rage to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acerbity Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I might just try a Fire Giant Shaman. Duergar Shaman was hard enough with a very easily exploitable weakness, but the mana made up for it. Now think about a Fire Giant Shaman with an even easier exploitable weakness in the form of a dagger you don't even know that everyone can get and is non-rare. Talk about a punch and a hurt; and you thought that the tridents were bad with Duergars/Dwarves? Try fighting everyone who has an icicle or four.
