I guess I am missing something but I don't understand why the shaman epic is considered so powerful? Druids and Necros for instance get a free dot as well. The only real difference I can see is that Shamans have slow making it easier to survive a hard hitting summoning mob.

Druid/Necro are also Snare DoTs.

Shaman allows them to nearly mana-free Root-Rot mobs. Come Velious, the Druid/Necro ones are also usable for this purpose when root/snare stack.

But currently Shamans can level 50-60 solo by just casting epic + Root and no other spells, with decent speed/efficiency.

This + cleric for mass rezzing.

I think I'd add wizard and monk epic too because it's best in slot forever.

I have now played a shaman at 60 with an epic and one without.

The difference is so drastic the two feel like different classes. You literately cannot do 90% of what you can do with an epic.

It is THE class defining epic IMO.

That's not class defining, though. It's a small niche use that allows shamans to solo already trivial mobs that they'd otherwise be able to solo anyway. It doesn't add any new versatility, and it adds absolutely nothing to groups or raids. It just makes trash farming easier to do while avoiding groups.
