this isnt 100% true. Altho if playing the monk as a human, without a fungi comes close.
A iksar monk without a fungi & a slowed mob, requires zero healing. So the shaman can focus on plague & pox, or just buffing/regen. The result is steady full mana xp.
with an enchanter the shaman will have to reduce his mana to 0 healing the pet, and requiring a med break. This is a fact. There is no way around it, I have tried.
On the contrary with a cleric an enchanter will have zero downtime, the pet will remain full HP and the cleric will remain full mana.
With a monk, a shaman will not require a medbreak, and is therefore obviously superior to the enchanter.
Sde by side the amount of killing is not one sided as some may think, I can promise this is the truth because I've leveled two shaman's to 60 and also an enchanter to 60. With the Shamans I consistently preferred monks for this reason, and with the enchanter I consistently preferred clerics.
Lastly a monk is a lot easier to keep alive than an enchanter, should things go wrong. In a blink of an eye the enchanter could be gone. The risk vs reward is yet another reason to promote a Monk & Shaman is a superior combo than Enchanter & Shaman.
All this said, enchanter shaman is a great combination and you will out level your other friends trying to pug a 6 man KC basement group.

Chanter can memblur their pet to 100% hp easily after some practice. However, I agree that monk/shaman is the "best" duo. I have been on both sides of this duo with my 60 monk and shaman and it is a fun, powerful, SAFE, duo. Chanter/shaman might bring a little more power for certain cash camps...but no matter how good you are, chanter/sham has a lot more RNG involved in their duo.
Plus, from a grouping standpoint you have a tank and healer already in the group. Fill with dps and go.
And monks/shamans are oh so OP in velious.
I also have a 60 enchanter who has duo'd with plenty of shamans, great duo...but I still feel monk/sham has better chemistry.
