The progress has still been slow, but Jeamyr has gained another level & is working in Terokkar Forest. The main reason for the slow-down in leveling is that I am having so much fun playing Devarien & grouping with my guild =) However, another reason is that I'm just not that into Shaman. I have to say that I think Shaman is my least favorite WoW character class.
As a hybrid class, I think the Shaman suffers to a certain extent from the Jack of All Trades, Master of None mentality. A Shaman can do many things: melee dps, spell dps, healing & support. However, in my opinion, the shaman does not excel or beat other classes in any particular role. For melee dps, I'd rather play a rogue or fury warrior; for spell dps, I'd rather play a mage; for healing, I'd rather play a Druid or Priest. For me, Totems are a mixed bag. On the one hand, I can really see their utility in a group or raid setting. For soloing, I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't find myself using totems that often....maybe on hard fights. All in all, I'm not really digging shaman right now, but I am determined to stick with it & get Jeamyr to 70 =)
