A savant shaman could get a lot of mileage out of spirit bind with reverse time. Downside is the big minus in managain and also hitgain iirc. Would definitely pay to have a friend who could bring you high level corpses though.
Though, what issue is mana to a savant.
It looks like ensnare is being abused though by leaving the area, perhaps it should be looked into.
Its a strange skill... Apparently the councillor can leave the area yes but if they do not return before the hour changes it ensnare will drop.
Unfortunately a tick is more than enough time to ensure that you can get away without too much worry of being found again. In certain circumstances you could get far enough away to heal up out in the open enough before they find you again and you're fine. Or they find you quickly (in specific circumstances) where you can easily just recall if you're not cursed, or even teleport elsewhere where by that point you'll survive pretty much anything. I'm okay with people being able to outrun me if I manage to get them to that point, but to have a kill taken away because you were left ensnared because certain circumstances weren't met yet seems to be a bit annoying.
Spirit Bind would probably help some, though in your case as a Shaman and your regen for both HP and Mana are very important, it's hard to say if it will always be useful or not. You could test it out here and there though to see how useful it really is. And those shopkeepers are definitely nice to take down considering, and if you have the strength and weight to carry it, grab a corpse on the run and drop it when you need it most. Yeah it will only be a few hours before it rots, but it gives you enough time to capitalize on it most. Get more of those things you use though on top of all that to fully capitalize on it. The fact that you've had him run as an Undead Monk is humorous to me considering most Shamans die so easily to an Undead Monk even if you don't have saves. Nebu is definitely the powerhouse though of all of them considering.
Holy hell, guys.... Shhhh.....
Who would have thought that Nebu needed tips? Has that character even died yet?
Skree is the only one who nailed him as far as I know at least and mainly because he was slacking on his protection upkeep if I recall correctly. The good thing about having an alliance with Syndicate is you get to see who puts out a contract on you. The downside is that they'll know who did it as well. Pissed off the Goblin Prince.

There's a mob in Elf city that morphs to your level and is super easy to kill, just can't be summoned. Loss of managain can be negated by a few pieces of gear that you can swap out to catch ticks, or possibly wear full time like shroud of wizardry. Definitely useful for giants, ogres and undead.
