Hi, now after the nerf I started play with my buff saman.
It's a lv51 saman with m10 blessing and g2 reflext. I use some starter low budget items:

1k HP Amethyst bracelet +6
1k HP Nimbus boots+5
1.5k HP Pearl necklaces +6
1k HP Lv34 Armour +6
Ebony earring+7 and White Gold earring+7
Lvl41 shield+6 (+8Str, 15%chance to block phys. attacks)
+5 lv41 helmet
+6 Antique Bell 26 Average Damage with +3stones
Stat: full Vit + other to Int (about 90vit and 75int)

The point is... My hit is only 250-300. I can not kill 3 group Orcs. I can not destroy the lvl45 metin stones. I destroyed the lv25 metin stone (just for sciense) and it taked 4minutes. I need 2 hit for the lv16 wolves.
I tried to level up but after 1hour killing I got almost 1% exp. (At the hwang temple with the High Evocator, because the orcs is too strong for me.)

My question is this is good?
Did you tried leveling up with the dragon shaman from lvl1?

My friend has lvl40 dragon shaman with P Dragon Road and P Shooting Dragon, 13% Sash, +9 Antique Bell (10skill damage, no shaman stone) and she has 2.5k damage to my lv51 shaman (0def, just the mentioned above gear).

This is awful.
