To mention a few particular camps, also:

Lguk Lord: Necro and enchanter are the only class that have a shot at legit killing the named in an unbroken camp. It is very dangerous for both to do so. A shaman could come close if he managed to strategically root all the adds, but definitely couldn't handle Lord solo, especially if he's holding a SSoY.

Lguk AM: Both Shamans and Necros can kill AM. *edit2* Killing AM might be a little tough now as a 50 shaman. I did it a few times, but not only did I have the broken Rage, a large race's Slam ability was at least five times as effective as it is now. Back in the day I'd wager that about 50% of my Slams landed against AM, much more against trash mobs. Nowadays as a 60, I'd bet that 15% of my Slams would land against AM. I used to keep myself hasted just to get more Slams per unit time, but since the huge melee nerfs (including Slam, Bash) a couple months into kunark (which are probably implemented from the beginning now), it's probably not worth it unless you need to get lucky occasionally on a bunch of healers. Similarly, though, charm reliability has further been nerfed and consequently 50 necros won't be as effective on lguk deadside as we remember them.

Lguk Frenzy: Both Shamans and Necros can clear Frenzy.

Lguk King: The only class that has a shot at clearing this solo is an enchanter.

Lguk Keep: This is one of those camps where a shaman probably outperforms a necro since it is all live.

Lguk Tower: Both classes are extremely effective at clearing the tower area (Ass/Sup/Sav/Cav/Sage/Exe).

SolB Efreeti: The only class with a shot at soloing this camp is Enchanters; this, of course, is extremely dangerous. I only managed to do it twice on my enchanter at 50 after the LoS nerf (where mobs could land spells with broken LoS - just have to be in sight when they start casting). Also, at 60, I think shamans are the only class that can effectively solo Efreeti. I've tanked and spanked him a few times with a dog pet and dots - no charm clickies!

SolB FGs: A 50 shaman can solo a fire giant warrior easy =) *edit* This probably isn't possible any more since they fixed the Rage line of spells. I'd be curious to try. It feels like it would require too heavy a balance of healing and dps.

The rest of the real SolB camps: I don't think anyone really solos here except the occasional enchanter or whatever

Outdoor Giant-Type Shit (Seafuries, HGs, etc): Both classes are extremely effective, though overall necros will drop more mobs pre-kunark.

Kedge crap - Shamans and Necros don't really solo the badass stuff here. It takes a skilled (and lucky) enchanter to drop the high-value nameds in Kedge.
