Make a bezerk rat sha. Mix up your paths spells, only wear your level 17 armor. Raise your dex, agi, and int. Ignore wis, cha and sta as they are usless. Never ever heal anyone in your party as that will use up precious mana. Dont debuff either.

In case you havent noticed im being sarcastic. The reason for this is no one wants to take a chance and figure out any of this info on their own. If you are asking for a tip that is one thing but you came in here asking for every detail possible. Trust me there is no right way to make a character. Do what you want to do with it. I have all kinds of characters and I will never ask anyone for ideas on what to do. If I wanted to make an Erud Pallie and make it a scholar well then I would do that and dam what everyone else says. Play how you want to play.

I want to make my shaman a good healer, and I wanted tips on how to build him. If you don't want to help me, fine, but dont type a post saying that nobody else should be able to help me. It's like you want more noob healers in the game. I had an idea on how to make my sha, I just wanted other people's opinions.

You have a 43 cl - that should mean you know how to make a healer.

I never said no one should help you. If they want to help you they will help you. There is no reason to not try to figure it out yourself. If you take a build based on what other people tell you - you will still be a Noob. The only way to learn is trial and error. How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Practice.

So let me ask you? Are you going to get PL's to get you to 20? Hmm? Cause if so you will miss out on all the important learning. People say that low level PL's dont hurt. Well that is when they hurt the most. That is when they introduce the most stuff.

Im just saying you will be a much better healer if you figure it out yourself.

Yep.. then if you arent happy with the way you built him.. wait till lvl 55 and redo your tp's and make that "cookie cutter" shaman that everyone else has.

Hey I learned from trial and error on my Druid. I gimped him out soo bad... LOL. Hell, I had put over 60 points into str thinking I could carry more stuff... thanks for the rehabilitator. LOL.
I had no clue when I picked this game up.
I still had a blast figuring it out though.

Sta, Wis, Cha.
Mindflow Crystal armor once your high enough to equip.
Lion, just because I say so and because all you really need is the lv40 ability, and the extra OFF and Def Mods. Wont need to use the forms because of the MC choice you need to go.
Go pet path, it was the bad choice but with the 60 epics in the work it will be interesting to see what they get.
Elder is the MC for you.

im a lvl 43 troll sha an a dam good one I focused on my main stats first wis an sta at like lvl forty i realized chain healin gives a lot of aggro an my sta was not high enuff to take too many hits but now at lvl 43 i found a good balance i hav 353 wis 290 sta an my cha still needs work at only 170 .i learned the hard way an i had a lot of debt to show for it so if any can learn from my mistakes good.

sta gives hit points
wis gives mana
cha gives heal points

how ever the more cha u hav the more mana you use to cast heal

i hope u find this little bit of personal experience useful cause its not easy bein a healer especialy a bad *** one like me

I got 115 Base str on my 54 shaman...
330 With buffs and 49 Bear Form.
Gonna rehab at 55 and make him the right way this time.
He was my first char I made and I messed him up badly.
But I learned, And he turned out to be a dam good healer, Even with the 115 base str.

It depends how you do things, there are times aoe help out. Some camps are great for pulling multiple blues and having the sha debuff them all. It is great for adds to weaken both mobs to add to the chance to survive. In raids getting to the mob you have to go through a ton of weaker mobs, which you can congregate togeather, have diferent groups attack different ones, and still debuff them all.
