canni + self buff + chloro is enough to out mana regen anyone else, + bard songs or clarity and your made in the shade. + you can sit and get a med tick between cannis, so I dunno what your talking about Reiker "the 1 conversion spell and mediocre regen spells arent that great" of course thats your opinion, and I respect that, just disagreeing : D
The damage cap seems strange to me, every since 35 my darksea harpoon ( 10/28) has hit for 20, which seems to be the final damage cap for shaman 1h ?? Or maybe shaman can only do 2x weapon damage? I really have no clue. But at low levels, if your 2h dmg is capped, then it would be more efficient to get a 1h and a shield. You get better stats that way, as well as the shield ac, and you probably wont hit the dmg cap with a 1h. Generally all shields have similiar Ac, but some have nice stats, same goes for shammy 1handers until you get higher up.
Once I hit the 20s, i never melee soloed anything, even with decent hp and AC, i got hit way too hard. Of course that was before the AC fix, so maybe it would be worth it now, but things hit me way too hard back then for that to be efficient. Plat fire wedding rings would be something to save for, 5ac 55hp, gonna cost about 250pp each though. Could also quest totemic in you upper 20s, it would be free + high ac, but I guess both of these are a ways off if your lvl 10 : /
There are indeed damage caps, I don"t recall the levels though, or the damage : / they play more of a factor at lower levels
