Lowbie Shaman questions

[ssj4robby]

I started playing again since red server started up... I haven't played since I was 15... anyone can help me with some info... like what would be a good shaman weapon at lvl 18? Everyone says gatorsmash but I'd prefer not to use a slow 2h weapon... not looking for freebies, just if someone could help me out with a guide of items that would be beneficial to obtain it would be much obliged!!
