[Shaman] DPS Specs and Skill Priorities
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2025 5:51 pm
'Ello Gits!
I've recently gotten the full Bloodlord gearset and I'm ready to start having fun as a DPS shaman. So far, I've been full healer spec the entire time so I'm pretty clueless on doing damage as a shaman, hence I'm looking for advice on builds and skill priorities. I've read through past threads, but a lot of the links to builds are old and don't work anymore. I'm only rr50 so I don't have much renown points to play with, or all of the spec points yet.
This is the build I've chosen to start with: RoR.builders - Shaman
I would have liked to have sticky feet, but 10pts to get it felt really restrictive, so opted for more in the DPS line along with 'scuse me, so at least I still have an elemental debuff.
I'm prioritizing brain bursta (for toughness debuff), then basically just stacking DoTs. 'Scuse me for the debuff, Da Waagh is Coming if facing multiple opponents. If my target is likely to be healed, then try to get the heal debuff on them.
If I get a chance, then I'll use I'll Take That for some more heals, but I feel like the cast time means I can't often use it as I'm usually kiting a lot. 'Ey Quit Bleedin and Gork'll fix it are my main self heals.
In terms of playstyle, I'm looking at solo roaming. Not really specifically looking for 1v1s, I just enjoy roaming by myself. Sometimes that means blob surfing, sometimes just looking for small scale fights to join.
Thanks in advance for your help!
