Ok, well my good friend hasn't started here yet but I made a shaman. We were talking and he really wants to be a puller because we simply hate slow groups with lazy pullers. Also, we vastly prefer dungeon-grinding to outdoor kiting/grinding. I got a lot of good suggestions for a 2-man combo, but I just don't see options like dru/nec + SHM being that good for starting a lot of dungeon exp'ing groups (we don't want to log in and have to wait 30-60minutes for a tank/puller to show up).
He used to be a warrior and we know a lot about them, but I suppose we are looking for more utility and maybe a little bit of a different experience.
However, neither of us ever played a SK. Because he didn't start yet, the "pre-Kunark" days are probably not important to dwell on because Kunark is going to be here in about 4 weeks.
So I really just want to know what are the pros and cons of being a SK in the upcoming times of Kunark? For what it's worth, he would probably be a Dark Elf because he doesnt like the Ogre/troll size nor does he prefer the Iksar hiss lol.

The pros:
High survivability (FD and plate class).
Good indoor pulling (FD, snare, circlet of shadow, etc)
Great aggro holding capabilities
Nice itemization (kunark has some nice SK only items)
The cons:
High XP penalty
Low damage output
In my opinion, if you want your SK/Shaman combo to be the start of the group so that you can begin to hunt somewhere while you're looking for other members to fill up you will be happy with your choice.
If, however, you're looking to simply duo as much as possible, a monk/necro/druid + shaman will be a superior choice to the SK + shaman.
cheers!
