I just got my hands on a https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=3611 and a really nice pet weapon, and am looking for a new class to make to take my mind off my magician's grind (He's almost 45 and I'm getting really tired of 'burn, sic pet, wait, nuke... burn, sic pet, wait, nuke... burn... well you get the idea :p').
I was thinking about a shaman, since I already have a necro, bard, monk, rogue and ranger that don't really need much help... But I'm curious, will a level 12 fire pet really help? How well can a shammy solo 1-60, and can they tank very well?
I'm really just looking for a new character for trades, and a shammy would be incredibly nice so that I can get some potions. It'd also be nice to get into some raids from time to time, and I remember my old shaman friend was always the first person asked into raids.
Also, is the "your pet does 2x the damage of the weapon's damage field or the delay amount, whichever is higher - and always uses the same delay regardless of weapon" thing still true?
Well, thats about it - feel free to share any advice, sites, or potion information as I need it, seeing as this is my first shammy :-)
Edit: Oh yeah, there was this old bracelet awhile back that every shaman just had to have... What is it? I can't recall the name, but I think it had something to do with canni.
