The benefits of adding a shaman to that setup instead of a second lock/mage I think far outweigh the lesser AoE output. Prior to the nerf I was planning on running paladin tank/holy priest (main)/lock/mage/ele shaman. The bloodlust for harder bosses and the earth/fire elementals are huge benefits, especially now that we are going to be far more delayed in our abilities compared to what we are used to with JMB and other programs.

Have to run out for a bit with the wife but would love to discuss in more detail. I check Discord far more and will send a message there at some point as well.
