[Shaman] Builds / Thoughts on new Shaman mechanic?

[rady]

my solo spec

[Hauntoo]

Been playing AoE for a few weeks, figured I should update:

It feels reasonably strong overall, especially in keep situations where you just get to harass the blob. Same with open RvR, feels very mobile and has enough tools to survive most positional misplays.

Ive tried a few different tactic setups, still haven't found anything single target that feels strong. RUN AWAY! is another tactic I would like to run for blobsurfing, but doesn't seem to quite fit.

This is the build I've been running recently:

RoR.builders - Shaman

I didn't used to like the Nuthin But Da Waaagh! tactic, in most small scale fights the bubble would disappear too quickly but with the rework, the damage buff sticks around for a bit so I'm enjoying it.


I've given up on the Waaagh! Frenzy tactic. I do enjoy the extra healing, it feels "fun" and occasionally worked nicely when i was running in a duo or trio. However, its still not enough healing to out heal anything substantial, and the damage loss from your DoT really hurts.


I've yet to try out an AoE build. I don't run with warbands and still prefer single target when im blob surfing - I'd rather burn down a single target and get 2k renown from that kill, rather than spam AoE for a steady income of 10-50 renown at a time. But maybe that has changed with the rework and I should really give it another chance!

I also need to try builds with sticky feetz back in it. I like that it now only costs 6 points so should make for a better kiting setup. I'm gonna miss the heal debuff tho! It comes in so handy in so many situations!
