Thanks for all the advices.

I'm now thorn betwen the shm and the SK. Druid was a contender but as I remember. They are just meh in group.

Maybe I was wrong but my memories, but I've always felt the EXP was slow when I had one in my group.

Chanter, bard, necro are all good class. But I've mained all 3 in raids on live and I would like something new.

I recommend Shaman. They are extremely versatile Solo, Group and Raid. I levelled a troll shaman to 60 here, and it might have been the fastest toon I've ever levelled.

A shaman is a good duo partner for an Enchanter, Necro, Magician, Monk, Bard, Rogue, Warrior, Shadowknight, Paladin or Ranger.

Shaman is a blast solo because they have the infinite mana glitch (cannibalize). They have a solid solo technique, and of all the solo artist classes: Shaman experience the least amount of deaths (by far.) As a matter of fact: I can't remember the last time I died on my Shaman that wasn't on a raid. (Even before Torpor: slowing / rooting / regen spells and bind wound are lifesavers).

The entire time levelling my shaman, I employed the same technique. I used Drowsy ( I used drowsy until Turgur's upgrade) and tank the mob while meleeing. Occasional DoT or Nuke to finish off long fights. Bandage between fights. Cannibalize + Bandage starting at level 24. Pet starting at level 34. And that's it until 52-53 or so. Grab a Poison Wind Censer (~400-500p in EC tunnel), Silver Chitin Handwraps (~600p), some 5ac 55hp or 6ac 65hp rings (400p for a pair or 800p for a pair) and a set of banded and its off to the races. For under 1.5k plat, a Shaman can afford enough gear to last until raid level.
