The Shaman will be a much rarer placeholder; however, it appears there was a patrolling mob with several placeholders since at least May 2000. If you can find evidence this was patched in after launch, please post!
Only sort of useful evidence from 02-16-00, 09:48 AM

If you follow the link you'll see lots of other reference to Shaman in BB, but when it mentions where they are it's inside BB, never above ground. Eg.

Quote:
Upon entering the room, there are 3 regular gnolls and a spawn point for one "special" that rotates between a commander, an elite and a shaman
I know it's hard to prove negatives, but I'd vote that the complete lack of mention of any high level shaman up top should be taken as a vote against it existing prior to February 2000.

Hopefully you'll consider the "it's hard to prove a negative" part when evaluating evidence, as it's not super likely that anyone would have even mentioned "yeah they added a new unnamed sub-20 mob to some newbie dungeon" ... nearly a year after launch.
