If you bring a melee (MNK), shaman is a strong choice if not kind of an auto-include.
But you could go for pets instead, where once again Shaman is useless.
BRD / NEC / MAG
BRD / NEC / NEC
DRU|CLR / NEC / NEC
Some good options here. I like BRD for sieves, mez, pump, and general utility.
The most obvious advantage of the caster approach is no gear check and strength while leveling.

Shamans do a lot for charmed pets:
1. Torpor tanking removes the need for pet healing most of the time. They can heal them when needed too.
2. Torpor tanking makes positioning easier.
3. Torpor tanking increases pet DPS because the pet is attacking from behind.
4. Malo reduces the number of charm breaks.
5. Shamans can buff the pets.
6. Shamans help with charm breaks via root, blind, slow, aoe slow, and heals.
Enchanter/Shaman/Monk is a powerful trio, and a Shaman's synnergy with charmed pets is a factor in the power of this trio. Enchanters are not allowed in this thread, but Druid/Necro charming is being discussed.
