Ya its looking like the payoff is level 60 and thunderstorm, once to 60 things will really look up for the all the shaman. I have been toying with making 5 minigroups of 1pal, 1priest, 3 mage (tank, heal, dps), but then when I think about 25 thunderstorms (no mellee can kill me at all) well doh. Also the lure of 25 thunderstorms means I can't spec out of elemental.

Tagging is the core problem (i.e. doing some damage without killing completly with totems.). As I said I was able to do 6-7 eliet mobs (4-5 easy) with my well geared Pal and 4 shaman (not with the naked shaman).

I just dont have a plan for tagging except to use the Pal and then he will be always getting exp and outlevel the others (and if he tags mobs grey to him then the others get no exp I thinks). Is there a way to get rid of exp in this game lol ... (like deleveling with the deaths for the necro rez item in eq?). I suppose I could make a 2nd leader / tank like Druid on the same account and split off the exp with him ... hummm.

Otherwise I have to use shocks or LB to tag, in which case may as well just use shocks to kill as well ... (shocks is better as you can cast those while moving).

I think that chain lightning will be an effecitve tag method but thats at like at level 32 ... maybe I should just single kill with shocks untill then.
