Necro is very strong 1-50 and adds an extreme level of utility in the form of snare, FD pulling, twitch and Screaming Terror for charm breaks while also putting out good DPS with the pet or undead charm the entire time. Falls off a little 50+ but remains very strong and provides enormous utility still.

There's basically no reason to ever pick the Shaman unless you are already all geared out at 60 and trying to four man something really hard that you need to slow ASAP and which you can also leverage the Shaman DoTs on. The Necro adds so much more value over the life of the group from 1-60 it isn't even funny.
If you want to base your entire 1-60 leveling and gearing up experience around being able to kill Ixiblat then pick shaman. Otherwise pick a 3rd enc or a mage and do 50% more dps (sorry DSM it's not my fault mages do so much more damage)

If you want to go down that route, Enchanter is also basically dead weight until level 29 or so when they get Clarity. Their charm isn't very good, they have a low mana pool, and the mobs are just really easy to kill already. Same with Clerics. You are killing mobs so fast you don't need a ton of healing.

Once you get into the 40+ range Shaman will do just fine, especially if they have a JBB.

That is the reality. At low levels most classes are "dead weight" because they don't have their full toolkits and their skill levels suck. The reason why it doesn't matter is because mobs level 1-39 are tuned for groups with Fine Steel weapons and leather armor lol. A 4 man group of rogues could tear through levels 1-40 just switching who is tanking and bandaging hehe.

Charm is strong much earlier than 29. I leveled an enc/enc duo with a friend of mine up to low 50s on blue. We were duoing all of lguk scryer camp by ourselves with zero mana issues and no deaths the entire time in our low/mid 20s. It was some of the fastest xp we got the entire time we leveled that duo. We were able to kill more/faster than the average full group of people at that camp without a charm. I'm convinced you legitimately have no idea what you're talking about

I have leveled an Enchanter from 1-30 myself, with raid gear[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] My level 24 Warrior with a fraction of the gear is killing mobs way faster. He can just face tank 3 mobs in guk no problem, and keep going afterwards.

Welp that settles it. You're either EXTREMELY bad at EQ or have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and making shit up. You've said a LOT of dumb shit. This takes the cake.
