Shaman are just good Necromancers

I did ctrl+f all pages of this topic for the word 'slow' and it's not used.

Shaman's slow raw power is incredible. It turns vicious beasts into puppies, hitting wise.

Outside of some leveling tactics, there's not much comparison. For a caster, shaman is middle of the pack as a leveling class. Necro is an incredible leveling class.

Different game once it's 60 and they are way different classes at that point. For myself, 95% of the game as been at 60 just to give perspective. For some people, the complete opposite.
