Age of Conan

The bear shaman of AOC is 100x worse than playing a WoW hunter from 1 - 20 with no pet, no bow, just a 1 handed weapon. My god this is the worse 1 - 20 class of all time. Though i am told it gets much better at level 25. Im currently level 13 and i cant even take on two mobs 2 levels below my level. I am royally getting my ass kicked. My gears been upgraded, i tried every tactic, and god forbid if i dont have to go up against a mob that melees and another that has agroed me and is a ranger. I am getting straight up whooped. I hope it pays off i really do.

Though the necromancer seems like its pure awesome, i was grouped with two guys at a temple and the one guy was a necromancer and all of a sudden we were surrounded by picts and had no clue what to do when the necro casted a fatality on one of the picts and this HUUUGE monster came from his corpse and started mowing down every enemy in his path, it was pure awesomeness.

Go necros! :)

sorry to hear that. I havent even made an alt. so far im sticking with my assassin. i am enjoying it VERY much. i heard the bear shaman was bad ass though at later levels. gl should u decide to stick it out.

A tip,  dont put any feat points in your heal line for a while. Get your first feat skill or talent that helped myself al lot on a PoM.

necros are horrible in this game. Bear Shamans really shine post 20

I hear Bear Shamans are gods at 80 thought.

I keep hearing bear shamans own post 20 but i swear to you if it was not the hope that they would get better i would of quit this class at level 10

Interesting.  My son rolled a Bear shaman and got him to level 12 last night and he had your same experience.  He was cursing the entire time as he rolled through the volcano, and he died many times.

Contrast that with me on a Tempest of Set who had no issues at all with dying until I got to the volcano, when I took few due to carelessness on my part, unfamiliarity w/controls, and not using my skills properly. Once I got the hang of it, I rolled through it as well.

Now one thing I did that he didn't.  As I did the earlier quests, I always killed every mob.  I never skipped any, if one could be killed, I killed it.  This left me about 1 level ahead of him when I entered the volcano area, so perhaps that was the real factor that made my road easier.

He got pretty frustrated, maybe I'll suggest he try making a necromancer and see if he enjoys that better.

Oh god the volcano i almost threw my keyboard at my monitor.

every class has the ability to shine if played correctly. Some start off pretty weak, and don't "come into it" until after level 20.

BS is one of them.

I remember someone saying that conquerors were weak...AS I was killing 5 mobs 2 levels higher than myself at the same time. All I could do was laugh.
