How is the life of a shaman?

[bhatz01]

So I've become more interested in starting a shaman recently. They are sought after for groups and can also solo.


I've got a couple questions:

1.) Is group/solo play tedious? I've seen a few shamans express that you have to be constantly making moves, whether grouping or solo. Canni, buffs, heals, pet, etc. If the dog has to go out, might be hard to afk etc.

2.) How good are you at soloing? With no "Get out of jail free card" like feign death, can you still rock the solo game pretty well? What about someplace like lower guk? Can you break and hold camps well?

I appreciate any input I can get. I think it's a fascinating class, just looking for some information from those who know it best! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
