And in classic, nearly all relevant content is located deep inside endgame dungeons where shamans just don't really have the means to do it. Enchanters and necros can crush it in SolB and LGuk. What's the limit of shaman soloing in classic? Ishva? Ghoul sage? By no means is it a top tier soloist pre-Kunark.

If killing slowly is a big part of making it suboptimal, then the enchanter is also suboptimal since they have no way to heal themselves other than assuming Troll Form for a measly 2hp regen and sit down for a long time. So, with that in Mind, I guess pre-kunark and possibly post-kunark, necro beats both shaman and chanter's ass soloing.
Just grab an enchanter, or a shaman, and duo with a friend who's the other class and no camp will be too much for the both of you. And if you add a necro...
