Bash works, sometimes. Interrupt isn't really a thing on p99, some classes can cast stun but many don't even bother memorizing these spells even if they have situational uses.

Shaman is a class that benefits greatly from the time you invest into the class.

You can level 1-60 solo even untwinked or group. At 60 with all the spells you can solo some of the toughest soloable content. However, shamans can't really split mobs and camps well and because of that are more restricted than Enchanters.

The 1-34 experience is pretty rough, but it's always going to be rough untwinked on p99 except for maybe bards.

Shamans more or less fight in 2 styles:

- Root and dot and watch mobs rot. With Epic you can root and dot multiple mobs.

- Slow mob and melee with maybe adding dots into the mix. At 60 you get Torpor allowing you to heal a LOT whilst attacking and cannibalizing back mana for the next Torpor.

Outside of those styles shamans have access to buffs and in raids mostly buff and cast Torpor. Not exciting but it's honest work.

Personally I'm on the fence if I like shamans or not. Certainly less stressful than Enchanter and not as restricted to undead content as a Necromancer.

It depends on the definition of interruption, this can mean:

1. Movement interruption (I.e. push) = not still a thing at current. PC’s can always get hit enough where they fail to channel a spells.
2. Physical bash/slam interrupt: Works on most sub 55, not ogres, giants, dragons
3. Magic interrupt (stun, fear, mez, charm): Depends on npc type and spell type

Category 4 might be mana draining a NPC or interruption via dps burn. It doesn’t really count.

A shaman slam is a 2. category. It does work but it’s a chance of working. With enough people trying, it can stop a CH or gate from most npcs. I would always commend a shaman for trying to slam off a spell…it’s likely not at a detriment to the group.
