Well its really up to your play style.
If you want to root/JBB everything to death roll Shaman.
If you want to have a unique set of abilities and play a class that's a bit more challenging play Necro. Also, you can join the kick ass INT caster club, which is a club few are brave enough to join.
I will say by and large bluebie Shamans are generally complete whining rule-lawyering holier-than-thou assholes who roll an OP class because their egos need to be constantly stroked. That's another element to consider, seeing how if you roll with the intent of soloing tough mobs you will be running into said assholes at various camps throughout Norrath. You will bicker, you will fight over camps, you will get rule lawyered. I prefer having nothing to do with these people who are so quick to judge the red community as "toxic" when they run around rule lawyering like "nanna nanna boo boo" 12-year-olds.
This is INT caster forum, after all :-)
