If you bring a melee (MNK), shaman is a strong choice if not kind of an auto-include.

But you could go for pets instead, where once again Shaman is useless.

BRD / NEC / MAG

BRD / NEC / NEC

DRU|CLR / NEC / NEC

Some good options here. I like BRD for sieves, mez, pump, and general utility.

The most obvious advantage of the caster approach is no gear check and strength while leveling.
