If you are pl'ing melee that have decent weapons you can root tank.

I power levelled a rogue in the basement of befallen and just root tanked + positioned. Would probably be even faster with ds Bp. Best part? Level 16 Necros usually have higher level pets for double the xp.

Really only good till about 22 but we did 8-22 in a few hours.
This is pretty much what i do. Root tank for the rogue, summon a pet to help Damage ( not out damage him). Shaman DS pots + jaundiced. = $$ Eventually the rogue does more damage and i can start to DoT. This works well until about level 45, Mind you the rogue i was helping was well funded. Epic/Fungi/ETC, and i have PE so that helps out. This will work for any melee classes just adjust the damage output to his. Stay out of highly populated zones cause stealing XP from groups/Solo's is lame. Nurga/Droga is some GOOD XP and super empty. From 20-30 Hit up High keep in the early mornings its barren. At 30 hit nurga until 35-38. At 38 head on over to Droga and hit up the money camps !!! make some plat while you help your friend.

Low-mid level melee class buff them and heal them as needed with a steady stream of mobs. If you have access to a fungi let them borrow it. fungi and chloroplast is going to help a lot at low level. Don't bother slowing not really worth it. Pet barely worth it here. Dots not worth it.

Mid-high level melee class buff them and slow mobs ie normal melee + shaman duo method. Dot mob if needed/have mana and/or send in pet as needed to do less than 50% of the damage. With a rogue unless really low level you're going to want to root tank. With other melee you can do it too - but even with Jaundiced BP you're still going to burn a bunch of plat if you want to use DS potions and at that point you might as well hire a different pleveler.

So see the problem here? With shaman PL the plevelee is going to have to do 51% of the damage and unless you use DS potions that's 51% of total mob health. Not 51% of non-DS damage. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Better to take that money and hire a druid!

Dot and zone is not really worth it in most cases either.

Casters you're hardly doing anything other than adding safety if they screw up. Can't really generalize what to do other than high HP mobs maybe slow them, heal pets, etc. With a shaman plevel casters are just going to be limited by their mana for damage like normal. And you can't speed it up (other than healing someone who is doing hp -> mana) Also you're not even going to be able to hold aggro on a bunch of stuff to let them AoE it down without burning all of your own mana.

Anyway shaman plevel works and is safe but it's far slower than other plevel.
