There is a reason most shaman on live are boxes not mains.

Battle shamans do better than root dotters in this regard, but either way they can solo quite well. You're showing your ignorance both in your insistence that they're weak soloers, and lack of knowledge of their charm animal line of spells. They aren't as good as Druids, but they can charm animals in OT as well.

In fact I used this tactic in live before and shamans do it quite well. They don't have to spend much mana to help their charmed pet win the battle since they can help melee it down and use one of the weaker slows. Then if pet breaks charm they can slow him and melee down the last bit of hps as well. This is a valid tactic most don't use because it only serves them a small portion of the game, but it nonetheless works rather well.
