With that said, tanking for rogue pets and others would really be the best way. Gotta say, tanking at 60 kinda impresses me.

Kind of agree with yums. When you're taking hits and not medding, meleeing actually has a pretty severe mana cost. That might not be important with mana free epic dot and 200 mana cheal from torpor... But from 24 to 50 with cheap gear, you're probably best sitting in a corner.
I couldn't afford a pwc in the levels when it would have helped me most (20-34) and I imagine thats a common problem. Meleeing with a goblin parrying spear stops being exciting pretty quickly :P Btw, if you're iksar or barbarian, consider taking a trip to KC to get some solid no-drop gear. Helm, gloves, and legs are especially strong. | ||

Shamans are imo - the most versatile class.
there are many wrong ways to play them but through all my adventures there isn't a single correct way to play them either. If you are more reliant on grouping, worry more about your mana. If you like soloing, worry about HP/AC. Shamans can strategically cast spells in a group and never take a hit, or you can be super aggressive and take hits all the time. Soloing can tank and melee, or root and rot. the list goes on. the point is - try out what works for you and what you enjoy the most. | ||

II'm pretty much constant canni'ing when meleeing. I have auto-attack on so I get in a melee round between cannibalize casts - there is a spell reset period between casts, you know.
I don't fucking stand there and bash on it like a dolt when I could be doing other things. That's 101, bros. Tanking at 60 in risky spots - best done with a mage with CoH and a WC hat. If things go wrong, you will definitely want to have both handy. Tanking at NG is easy business.

You should go the melee route simply because it's way more fun that root rotting.
