Classes: The Shaman

Shamen - primitive power. The only magic using class of the barbarians, ogres and trolls, shamen get a variety of spells that combine aspects of most of the other magic using classes. This combination, along with the racial strength, means the class can be played in a variety of different ways.

What is the best way to develop and play your shaman? What spells and skills are the most and least useful? Can a shaman be soloed, and if so how? How should you play your shaman in a group?

Post your strategies on how to best play and develop the Shaman and read, rate and comment on what others have to say.

Exp penalty and races for shamans?

Anyone know if Froggies get an exp penalty or not? I know trolls and iksars get them but I never knew if Froggies do. I want to play a shaman and I figure a Frog is a good choice if there is no penalty (they just look so cute on a horse).

frogs are med size class, xp bonus or lack there of or a - one of it is based on two things the race group ie. large med small and then iksar and troll are tossed into their own group

then its the class, ie melee's and pure casters are at 0 bonuse then its healers are at a little bit of a - bonus then its hybrids at a little bigger - bonus.

gnomes, dwaves and halflings are the fastist at geting xp,
then wood elves dark elves high elves hafe elves humans frogs eruidts and val shar (they are the med sizes)
then its the ogres, barbs as the large races
then its the iksar and trolls who have the worse xp bonus,

also humans are considered the standered by which all others are measured so the gnomes dwaves and halflings in sony's eyes actually have a +bonus where as all others are at 0 bonus or a - bonus (realy its that there is no bonus but there is a penilty for your size or if you have regen, as to weather a iksar or troll levels faster i dont know but i do know that of all the barbs iksar are my prime choice for a race in the shaman class they have the highest wisdom decent sta and their inate ac bonus helps when your playing a non plate class, their xp penilty is not realy that big of a deal when you can grind with good friends.)
