Is a Mage + Shaman a Good duo?

[Snaggles]

I’ve used a sham DS pot while farming Kennel Master. Minus the first couple rounds (malo then Turgurs) it parsed at 8dps. That’s still something but nothing like the mage pet. At 60 on blues a mage should be able to do about 100dps with a burnt wood staff, DS and Pet. So on par or exceeding most dps without using extra mana for burst dps.

I get if a sham wants to slow and heal a tank instead I totally get that. Soloing a shaman without an epic to 60 is pretty painful though so if you have a buddy who happens to be a mage it’s more than a viable route.
