ench damnit!! i boxed shaman's for years until i finally threw in a ench and haven't gone back since! way more versatile combo especially with mercs unless you have a bard.. like BB, then you're just a homo.
I have like 10 accounts and my main group is monk shaman war wiz 2 t5 cleric mercs. I am thinking of getting a enc just because when trying to do UF progression I need CC bad I just cant tank 5 guys at a time
Right now in UF I box 2 rogues wiz Mage bard sham cleric and pally. I can do anything I have tried. Makes stuff pretty simple for me. I love having the shaman though makes buffing a breeze plus with my dps classes it helps also.
