If you're gonna pick a Shaman race based on wearable items, it's not just that hammer to think about if you're thinking about rolling a non-fatty. For example, fatties can't equip Jarsath armor, which is > rune etched in a lot of slots and when Kunark comes out you could bring a level 1 Iksar Shaman to KC and loot the rotting corpses for at zoneline for free.

Actually, looking at the Jarsath stuff now, and none of the pieces I looked at are better than Rune etched. The BP, legs and Vambraces were far worse, the helm is about on par with Totemic (pretty suck by Kunark), gloves and boots are about equal to Rune etched though I'd rather have Rune etched in both cases, and the wrist guards are slightly worse than Rune etched.

Besides, if he wants to roll a Shaman now, Iksar is not an option. (and won't be for who knows how long)
