New shaman / player

[Mephela]

Hey everyone,

So I decided to come back to Everquest and I am trying out p99. This server is great so far and lots of nice people. I have a few questions when it comes to a shaman though. I played a druid and necro on live so this class is new to me. I use to see shamans use piercing weapons all of the time. Should I focus mainly on piercing or should I use 1 hand blunt too. Also are there any quests I can do as a iksar at the start that is decent?

Thanks
