I accept your story as a concession that you cannot back up your claims. I do find the story amusing for sure! I also think Wizards are a fine class.

However, if you wanted a solo crew with a dedicated Wizard, a Shaman/Enchanter/Enchanter/Wizard group would be an even stronger option in that scenario. The Shaman can solo something like A4 while there are no duo targets available. The Cleric cannot solo as much as a Shaman, so you are restricting your options by forcing a duo + solo split with Cleric/Enchanter/Enchanter/Wizard. You could have a 3 player solo split with a Shaman. Nobody seems to be disagreeing with the idea that Shamans are a very strong solo class. When an Enchanter does need backup for a harder target, the Shaman will work just fine. That is the whole purpose of the Wizard after all, being able to gather up the group members quickly to hit a target.

You can also just roll Barbarian if you care so much about looking like a human as a Shaman.

This was another sad strawman attempt to flex shamans. If you all want to separate, there’s no group. You just all solo/duo and pay dials as needed.

The reality is even a wizard brings more than a shaman. Nobody wants a shaman being the main healer when you’re fighting non trivial mobs. The wizard with vp robe can out dps a shaman, it can port, it can rip better, snare, aoe, and has a better root. Also has better nukes and lure nukes as well. With aoe snare they can safely pull groups of mobs too. Much better puller than a shaman.

Shamans are only needed in this group if torpor and cheal is needed. I’ve said this many times. No mob needs cheal and torp that is 4 mannable.

This is no contest, I’m sorry shamans don’t fit into every composition. Still a great class.
