Message: <blockquote data-quote="Iron Sky" data-source="post: 5044067" data-attributes="member: 60965">The nice thing about Shaman is if you pick mostly melee spirit powers, you can be spend most of the fight 10+ squares away from the front lines, giving your Spirit orders.  They are squishy if they get in close though; ours is usually either nearly full health or on the ground dying, rarely anywhere in between.Our shaman is only really in danger in 3 situations (in order of how often they seem to occur):1) A lurker shows up and attacks from the rear.  Since we only have 3-4 people in our group, there isn't always someone who can go tackle it until we can kill something in the front line, leaving him alone with it for a round or two at times.2) He goes first in the initiative order and walks in ahead of my paladin (the group's tank).  If another melee character goes before the monsters, he's usually ok, but the times the monsters go next, my Pally gets to use Lay-on-Hands in round 1.3) The front line goes down.  It's only happened once (when we ended up fighting two encounters at once), but fortunately he was 10 squares behind the fight and managed to outrun the monsters while the rest of the group bled out (except my Pally who got a natural 20 on his death save and snuck out while the monsters were all off chasing the Shaman).So, yeah, pretty frail.</blockquote>
