To improve this further make sure when you are moving towards the shaman the only place he will have to go is the wall behind him. If you get to close he will most likely jump back and take another shot at you. With a wall behind him, he will not be able to get too far away and he will be forced to deal with your attacks.

Rust Monsters: Rust monsters will destroy all metal weapons(CoH Influence). Make sure to carry a club around with you for just such an occasion. Trolls and Ogres: The hardest part of Ogres and Trolls are the ways in which they start their attack. They have an AoE area of effect melee attack that lunges towards you quickly. It is very difficult to sidestep and getting hit with it can take off a chunk of health. To combat this you will want to have a group member pull with a bow spell.

The purpose of the pull is not necessarily to damage the monster but to give your melee teammates a chance to get behind it without taking damage. Once the monster is inbetween you and your teammate it becomes much easier to manage and decreases the chance of your group losing valuable hit points(City of Heroes influence).
