What race are you?
Stack AC/HP, not wisdom. Survivability > Mana pool when you're leveling, especially now that they fixed sicken/affliction damage to classic values. You're going to be doing a mix of tanking and root/dotting.
Your sig says you're 22. If you're evil, kill assling guards in nektulos. If you're good, probably spiders and other crap in East Karana.
Once you hit 24, if you're a barb and can vend there, grind mammoths for cash until 30ish. If you're an ogre/troll, kill dwarves on sister island in OOT, which will be amazing experience until you hit 31.
Once you're 30-31, try to get groups. 30-33 as a shaman are pretty awful. Sol A, Mistmoore, or Cazic are your best bets. Failing that, giant skeletons near the lake zoneline in Rathe Mountains should still be dark blue, or you can kill gnolls in SK.
At 34, if you're an ogre/troll, kill the guards in NK. These will last you until 40. They will be a bit tough as you start out (make sure you get a pet that hits for 30 damage, haste it and give it weapons) since they might resist some, but they respawn quickly. If you can't keep the 3 at the bridge down before respawns, try the tower near gypsies instead. Bonus, you can sell the shields + fine steel at the gypsies.
As a barb, I'm not sure what you'd do from 34-40. Spectres are too tough since the patch changed frenzy and affliction damage requiring you to use scourge which is pretty expensive. Hill Giants are usually too camped. Maybe there are some ogre or troll guards you can kill? I'm not sure. Ogre guards are usually camped.
I'm 39 right now, still killing NK guards. I'm probably going to get some dungeoning in once I hit 40. Ice Giants are probably doable at 44, though I heard Togor's is bugged, so it might be a different story right now. A mix of you tanking/pet tanking/kiting unsnared with a SoWed pet should make them doable, pending resists.
