How I Play My Level 50 Shaman

hello and welcome to how I play My Level 50 Shaman now this may or may not be useful to you uh I play on live it’s uh there you know we got spells that are not available on TLP so I will try to call those out when I can but uh for the most part we’re going to go over spells we talk about how I have some things set up over here on the X Target and how I have my hot bar set up especially my multibind now now I use this Shaman for healing my multibox characters I have a shadow Knight as my tank so when I do things it’s the focus of the some of the things is specifically just to heal that I don’t I don’t care about doing other things like slowing and all that stuff I have macros for it but I don’t even bother with it most of the time because slowing is 100% not needed in any of the content in the game uh it’s just not even without the crazy gear I have you don’t need it you can do it on tlps you don’t need slow it’s nice to have but you don’t need it so I do things a little bit different so my spells I have running right now so uh cags SL uh Salve this is a spell that was added in I’m checking real quick on Alakazam kunar so if you’re in if you’re in uh the kunark era you will have available this spell I think you can buy it in the uh dark uh dark elf Outpost if you’re evil fori if you are uh good but this is a 688 Point heal pretty nice little heal to have uh at your ready it’s a little slow to cast it’s a 3.75 the alternative would be what is it called super heal I think yeah super heal is the last heal we had uh this one is a 3.5 uh second cast but it only heals 600 so uh your mileage may vary this one cost more Mana but uh with Mana reduction items available I mean you can get the pr the price down on that pretty good I don’t even know what my Mana reduction item is uh but something there is that so let’s go back to group uh next up I do have a slow M even though uh I don’t typically bother with it uh this is the level 38 slow it’s uh you know it’s a pretty beefy slow I mean if you talk about slows and stuff like that but uh it’s I I I don’t need it in the way I play if you watch the series uh Hobs and Friends where this character exists with Hobs over there uh it it just slow would be a waste of my time uh the way I play so it’s it’s there just in case I need it next up I have three dots I have venom bolt plague and and this one called odium uh this these are all different dots inot so these are all available in uh original or Venom bolt and plague and uh odm odium is available in what level is this one 43 is available in Lost dungeons of norath so uh when you get to that point you can pick up this one if you don’t have it don’t have it but uh three dots they all stack together and as you can see here they do 345 147 and 317 as their total so if I hit my uh Little Dot macro right there I’ll show that here in just a second after this one goes and Venom bolt plague and odium will land here we go you can see the like how much damage we are doing this is pretty pretty insane damage if you ask me uh at this this level is what uh like 700 800 let’s say 900 damage just spit B there might be not might be just like 800 and something but it’s pretty good damage uh you’re definitely going to pull some aggro casting all three of these uh you know and that’s kind of what it is but my macro right here to cast these is X Target 19 uh P pet attack and then I have 55 pauses on each of them just to make sure there’s enough time to get all of them out uh 3 four and five which is corresponds over here to 3 four and five simple there um I guess this is a good point to mention how I do extended Target uh because X Target 19 probably doesn’t make sense to most people uh so I have uh an extended Target window here uh this built into the game obviously uh 1 two 3 four five and six are all my group members uh in the same order as on all my characters so that I don’t have to uh think about it when I switch screens but those are all the same uh this is X Target 7 this is X Target 18 this is 19 and this is 20 x Target 20 is always the group tank so whoever is signed the group The Shield and is the group tank they will show up right here and that’s who will be there uh 19 is whoever the group assists uh Target is my Paladin or not my Paladin my shadow Knight is set as the assist he’s targeting combat dummy Kaza over there and so it shows up here for all the characters in my uh in my group here and so I know at all times when whatever he’s targeting if I hit this macro it’s going to Target whatever he’s assisting so it just works out that way so X Target 19 is my assist a Target uh then I have Spirit of Puma Spirit of puma is uh a proc buff it was added in let’s see here I think it was dragons and norath I just looked this one up so yeah this one doesn’t come in until dragons and norath from what I can tell uh you buy it in plain of knowledge it puts a buff on the you know the the character you Target or the player whatever it is uh I have a macro right here x Target 20 which will Target the tank and uh cast six I do it twice just in case I fizzle so there it’s a short duration buff uh 1 minute later on uh level 70 plus we will get group versions of the spell and then targeting doesn’t matter anymore it would probably benefit uh my Beast Lord and Bard more than would my shadow Knight but I rather have it on my shadow Knight for now uh and then I have cannibal this is just our takes our health returns that back as Mana uh this is kind of a you know just a simple spell there’s a you see here it’s like you know eats my health pretty good right 97 like it’s it’s chunking it down decently but uh with Mana song from The Bard and uh regen whenever I cast that like if I put regen on don’t think I have it on right now but with regen plus uh spiritual light from the Beast Lord here uh my health regen gets pretty pretty good right 55 or 34 health regen and uh this takes what doesn’t even say how much it takes but you can see there we’re just standing here we’ve already regenerated back up and next tick we’re going to be you know pretty much full so uh it’s just a way to get Mana back without having to meditate and then finally I have chloroplast is my uh this is my swap button or swap spell spell slot I have chlorop pass there because I do cast that on my Mages to make sure that I don’t have to actually heal them uh for the most part but uh that’s the that’s the general layout spells I run now I have uh little macros I’ve made to cast other spells like Spirit of wolf through SP Spirit of the Bly right here so I just cast that like I push the button memorizes this spell uh Waits a second or two and then cast the spell and then there we go the timings aren’t perfect yet because we’re going to get spell haste in the sooner or later and then I’ll have to redo them all so I just kind of like went a little a little longer on some of these timers but you can adjust it to your character right so it’s just like a pause m spell slot eight SP pause 70 cast it and then goes back to my group spell set which is the current spell set right and then I have another same thing for the pet so you know we die or something like that we haven’t died yet but I say we die and I need to summon a pet or the pet dies you see this pet is just like getting destroyed by this dummy over here right stop that before it does die uh just summons it and then uh whatnot the timing’s uh probably a little bit off I haven’t I haven’t actually tested that one yet cuz I haven’t lost the pet but uh it will uh the timings just need to be adjusted a little bit uh this one here is pet haste so level 50 yeah level 50 shamans get pet haste in the vus expansion uh so we’re going to want to cast that as much as possible so if I click that it’s going to memorize Spirit quickening uh I do I hav’t see a group thing just so I can kind of see like when I’m on my other characters I can see what they’re doing when I hit these Buffs and uh it just works out for me it’s kind of like a log if you will so I can be like oh yeah that’s that’s what he’s doing why is he doing that you know when I push those buttons and I switch screens and whatnot or if I uh do it otherwis but that’s that that’s pet haste and then I have another one here for Focus so like uh let’s say the Beast Lord needs Focus I Target the character I click Focus uh it’s not focus now but it’s it’s pretty much the line Focus existed before harnessing Spirit harnessing Spirit was added in to be lucklan and focus was added I think in vas so it just kind of like went back and added it for lower level characters this is a HP uh strength and dexterity buff so it kind of takes those those three Buffs uh talsman Altuna or whatever strength and dexterity puts them all in one so you you’re not wasting three buff slots for a single buff right so they have that there uh we’ll have more more of these little single Target things like that uh Buffs as we go along but uh that’s kind of what I do now it’s really not as much as I would probably need like later on they combine a lot of the Buffs so we don’t have to do that so all right that’s the Spells I currently have that’s some extra spells I memorize every so often uh we have hide corpse NPC this just hides corpses and auto inventory is anything in my hand uh he heal X Target 20 so I have this macro setup it’s kind of janky uh I only use this character for healing now at this level we don’t have all the spells that we get later on where we have group AOE heals and all this other stuff uh I just this is 100% focused on healing whoever is marked is the tank if you watch the series you’ll see that I CH like when I need to heal the other characters I just change whoever the tank is so I don’t have to think about it don’t have to make macros for everything because eventually I will not be I will never have to uh Target anybody to heal them unless they’re you know being aggroed right all my characters are twinked and vas raid gear so they all have about 8,000 10,000 hit points right they’re you know pretty crazy how the hell does he have he has 10,000 and he has 9,000 that’s just crazy but they all have a lot of hit points right they’re you know well geared so like I’m not at a press to heal people immediately uh they can all off tank any of the mobs we’re fighting currently without me having to like worry about it right away uh so that you know it’s just it targets that whoever X Target 20 is in this case it is Hobbs right so it’s Target Hobs when I push five and then it’ll start to all the car all the keys that are five so this is called multi-binding if you look here in the options and the keys under I think hot bar six is one I have all the keys on that hot bar bound to five I have all the keys on the other bar no I only have that one bar so they’re all only the keys on that bar are bound to five uh later on I’ll probably rebind this whole bar too so that it’s also five and uh whenever I push five the shaman heals right so if I push five right now he’s going to start healing X Target 20 and if I just keep spamming it like that he’s just going to keep doing that so that works that way now I have cannibalize here I switch these around as I need it right so cannibalize there is a delay on the next cannibalize sometimes and sometimes there’s not so it’s kind of janky in that sense but I keep it like this most of the time and then when I need Mana I just swap those around so that uh he will cannibalize it’s uh like I like you can’t do in multi binds right you can’t do like macros cuz they just they break in for me anyway they break uh these like single action ones work fine but when you have like you know something complex like this the second you push the button again it cancels it and starts over so it just doesn’t work for me so that’s how I do it I just Spam heal whoever the target is until uh until I don’t need to push the button anymore right but but with that so I’ll talk about the next line here in a second I have a sit macro just sits and stands basic ingame stuff journeyman boots everybody has a pair of those gives us gave us level one you know faster run speed but now at uh you level 50 the shaman has group Buffs now and and then I have a mount uh this character has this weird looking dog thing Mount he has so you know he’s what is what he has uh and you know the mounts see here the mounts give uh you know stats right 4200 hit points Mana endurance 50 resist 74 armor some Mana regen so you know it’s definitely worth getting you get those from uh completing achievements or uh some of the expansions come with them too all right next row so I use an MMO Mouse so numpad one is actually where my thumb is so I hit uh any of these buttons like uh say numpad uh three that’ll cast my slow right and it slows the mob and stuff like that and then uh so that’s my debuff right here so just X Target 19 whatever the assist Target is cast slow pretty simple nothing too fancy there uh same here with numpad 4 this is my dots macro now you’ll see that this character has you know these these dots that are kind of like if you start spamming buttons you’re not going to be able to cast them so I’m lucky in the sense that the the way the shadow Knight set up is he’s he has four and five uh the Beast Lord’s four and five the Mages are four and five The Bard is four and five right but the shaman is not four and five the shaman is just five so what I’m spamming four for the multibind for everybody else Shaman’s not doing anything at all he’s just sitting there uh you know playing with his PT but if I hit nump four while they’re all doing that he’s doing dots and that puts out more damage for him and gets his pet in the action but the second I’m like oh crap I need to heal I can just start spamming five they continue doing what they were already doing but he starts doing what he needs to do by healing Hobs right makes sense should work uh that’s how it goes so just a little bit there and then have a buff X Target 20 which is the tank uh later on there will be more spells here right right now it’s just Spirit of the Puma later on we get uh the sloth line which is a slow proc which we’ll put on the tank and then I’ll probably never cast slow again unless it’s a named now when you watch the Beast Lord video the Beast Lord does have slow in her setup and in foxal setup my other Beast Lords so uh there is you know some overlap there I prefer to off offload the slowing to the Beast Lord uh so that I don’t have to but it just depends on how you want to play and how you set it up in some cases when you bring you’re bringing mobs in right they’re going to be coming in hot and hitting hard and heavy and I rather have the shaman focus on healing in that situation and let the someone else slow it right the tank is going to slow from his belt the P tank is going to slow from the proc on the uh sloth line and then the Beast Lord will also have a chance to slow via the uh slow that they have so there’s some options there uh it just means that this Shaman doesn’t have to focus on it at that point in time so there just some Buffs uh the next line This is my follow macro so standard in-game follow everybody asks me how do I get my characters to follow so well the secret is B speed uh in all honesty B speed makes them work better uh the follow also works better if you go here to Advanced and you set the frames to unlimited and uh let it run as fast as it can in the background uh ideally as long as you’re running at 60 FPS on the background of your boxes they will always stay with you now they will do the stupid stuff where they like start doing this run around and circle stuff but I just hit the button again and then move the main character right they’re running like this I just move back and then they follow and correct themselves uh later on I’ll be using call hero to move them around so it doesn’t really matter uh but my follow macro is pretty simple stand up so like you have to stand her I’ll just push it right he’s going to stand up he’s going to start running around in circles and then eventually figure it out uh X Target 1 I don’t use x Target 20 because if you know these might not be the same they’re in the same for this case but X Target one is the character I’m playing from so it just makes sense that way I turn off attack uh I do slf follow which is that ingame follow and then slash invite which kind of double double double dips right when you invite somebody and then they invite you back you form a group so that’s just kind of my easy way of getting everybody grouped up uh and whatnot so it just uh it just works then I have teleporters I have two Guild Hall an anchor teleporters that teleport me back here to my Guild Hall uh North roow teleporter campfire teleporter plane of knowledge teleporter and Guild Lobby teleporter via the Thrones of hero Throne of hero AA so all available uh in the uh alter achievements and then here DZ macro so this just gets everybody into a DZ quicker quicker uh targets the Agent of Change and then uh says all the magic words that he would want and then here we have the multibind obviously at this level there’s not much in it uh it’s just to heal later on there’ll be all kinds of AAS we’re going to throw in there it’s going to be fancy fancy if you want to see where it ends up watch the 120 Shaman video of my 120 Shaman and you’ll see like I think it’s like two rows and a little bit more it’s crazy how much I have in there and how much healing output I can put out with the shaman uh doing that and then lessons of devout which is 100% experience buff for 30 minutes that you can use every 20 hours all right that’s everything there see what is this uh charm that’s from uh when I copy the UI steadfast servant and stch uh I had to use those in a video cuz he was about to die I think it was in like episode two yeah I think in episode two he was about to die so I clicked one of those these are all the Buffs bind wound that was from a copy uh conck Poots so this this this is from a copy but it makes Point uh shamans have the ability to make Alchemy potions and elixir of Greater concentration conck Poots if you will are our uh Mana regeneration pots to stack with Clarity uh don’t know if they stack with the Beast Lord buff I’ve never like tried them on live I only do it on TPS uh but that’s just you know how those work but they’re uh very good you should always use kpot if you’re playing on a TLP maybe on live if it Stacks with all your Buffs I’m just not 100% sure on the stacking of that these are all the buff buttons we already showed and then over here I have uh just a few illusion items for uh turning into different things like the skeleton uh which is my favorite form I love that one and then I have a group invite button but this one is from uh this one’s from te where I copied the characters the setup from so that’s not important right now uh but that is all my spells my hot bars my extended Target uh let’s talk about gear as a shaman you want a HP regen much e you can get like so I’m wearing the chest plate of vindication two HP regen of the belt of dwarf dwarf slang another 2 Hp regen now you also want Mana regen so like I have the brain of kazak THU the eye of kazak one HP regen each uh let’s see here I don’t know what else oh yeah the earring has three Mana regen so you want as much HP Regen and Mana regen as possible HP regen kind of helps with your cannibalize right cuz you cannibalize and then you need to regenerate that Health back now I’m lucky that I run a Bard because Bard song does HP and Mana regen so we get that back now all this stuff Stacks with Clarity so if we had an enchanter in the group or an enchanter just deci buff us uh we would get more Mana regen uh that way uh clity would be one of the number one Buffs a shaman would want but you don’t need it cuz you’re a shaman and you can cannibalize so it just depends on uh you know some of that stuff there uh for stats HP is king for a shaman in my opinion because of cannibalize and with that heroic your heroic stat is going to be heroic stamina uh for anything heroic right um I don’t think I have any anything on me that has heroic stats I think the shadow Knight over here has a heroic stat item there we go so you can see here like later on eventually you’ll find items that have these uh little gold plus one items you’re going to want heroic stamina uh as a shaman so that is going to be what you pick and those start showing up probably around like level 70 75ish maybe a little earlier if you have defiant armor where’s the Sham there he is if we go here to like uh bizaar and then like type in defiant and let’s sort by Price CU that’ll make it a little easier and then like uh chain legs right so you can see here the chain legs they have U heroic wisdom heroic stamina obviously this is a fantastic piece at this level you’d want at 59 it’s good it’s got a nice balance uh it does trade a balance across the the four chain classes so it’s not as hard as like say uh let’s see here let’s look at what’s a high-end item called uh Gallant uh let’s see what is the high level Shaman gold there let’s do sort by class uh there we go so if we look at the the hat right this is the level 120 125 hat that you can get it has 28 heroic stamina 32 heroic wisdom so those are going to be your two best stamina is number one uh in my opinion because of how cannibalize Works later on and takes like half your health so that’s you know pretty crazy uh there and you this the wisdom will give you more Mana but you’re going to want HP and Mana regen those are going to be very important uh right now uh at this level you can wear a sword and shield or hammer and shield I guess uh epic and shield at you know level 50 and then uh eventually you’re probably going to want a two-hander uh just because of the proc and how you know that’s going to work but you can use uh sword and shield or you know sword and board whatever you want to call it Mason board Spear and board I don’t care uh you could probably use that for most of the game uh Shields provide a lot of extra Armor class which is nice if you’re getting hit uh later on let me see if I got one later on like say like level uh where is it did I already put it in my shield here uh this one will work right here so later on you’ll get these type seven augs that are shield only that are uh you know all the major stats you want and then lots of hit points and mana and then HP and Mana regen that’s that alone you get more sustain using a shield by having one of these augs uh you lose out on that when you switch to two-hander which I don’t think any of these characters on This Server are using two everybody’s using sword and board here uh if you if you look at like my 120 shamp shamon video or 125 Shaman video she’s wearing a two-hander and it just depends uh it just depends on how you uh how you want to play but I think uh it’s a really personal choice some tell me that sword and board is better some tell me that two-hander is better I I I have no idea you get a proc damage on the two-hander and you get proc Mana or proc damage on the one-handers just depends on which one you get but I prefer I prefer two-hander cuz more damage is better uh but yeah that’s gear yeah wisdom is where we get Mana stamina is where we get health so those are the most important and I think that’s everything for the shaman I can’t think of anything else that I would I’m failing to mention uh if there’s any questions or comments please leave them down below but there we go that is the level 50 Shaman that’s how I play the shaman might not be the best might not be the you know everything that you could imagine but this is how I do it and I I play in a boxing environment a lot of people play in a boxing environment on live that’s just how it is on top uh you literally do the exact same thing uh with a single character uh you’re just going to be buffing more it’s just you’re going to be buffing a lot more not going to have all the Spells uh but you’ll have most them as as I mentioned but as you level up over the different things it should work out but uh thank you very much for watching and please have a fantastic day
