I know this makes me sound like a jerk, but:
Isn't the romance of EQ figuring things out for yourself? One of the things that annoys me the most most about the WoW generation of MMOs (and MMO gamers) is the insistence of "a gear list" that you must strive for, or you're considered sub-par and 'fail'. Just stack wis to 175-180, then stack stam. In the beginning, under 20, get a set of banded and go to work. The shaman has both the pleasure and the curse of having a wide variety of gear that is 'good' for them. I've seen shaman with 55hp rings, and the 6wis rings(or one of each), shaman with 2hb, and spear and shield, Caster shaman in high wis leather/cloth, and 'battlemage' shaman in high AC chain.
Since someones gonna start this same thread next week, here are some common, ubiquitous items that the vast majority of shaman seek out.
Bloodstained tunic (Foremans tunic isn't bad either)
Charred Guardian Shield
Gloomwater harpoon
Sharkbone warhammer (Theres another 1hb with wis, but I don't remember the name)
Lizardscale mantle
Runed mithral bracers (there are other choices, inc. player made)
Black Iron Medalion
Chrysoberl Talisman (can be pricey)
+wis jewelry
5ac/55hp rings
Some times a savants cap (low AC, but +3wis)
Each of these pieces should be between 50 and 400p. If you can't afford that, stick to the banded armor until you can.
Not every slot has an ideal piece, some you just gotta wear whats available. Cloak comes to mind.
Just level. The gear will come. If you need a refresher, spend some time in EC as you level up, clicking the links in /auc. You'll start seeing gear that looks like it'd work.
