If you’re going to turn mobs though, you could then just argue get a Necro. With slow and gear they can tank just fine. Better dots, taps, and much better pet. You also get fd snare and a da puller. Not to mention emergency fd for crs. Cleric can easily keep them up when slowed since they won’t be healing pets at that point.

A Shaman is way tankier than a Necromancer with Torpor + Slow. With Cannibalize they can sustain the tank much longer too, whereas a Necromancer is going to run out of mana for taps. Lich is a great spell, but it isn't as good as Torpor, and it hurts your HP regen while tanking.

7thGate brings up some good points with Avatar on Charmed pets as well, I honestly never though of that before. Just bring some emerald stacks and double avatar. Since this thread has started to include clearing ST trash, the Shaman will probably have Primal Avatar, since they are already ST keyed.
