The WoW Shaman – The Ins And Outs Of This Complicated Class
The WoW Shaman is a hybrid class capable of fitting into three very distinct different roles depending on the talent specifications they choose. The three talent trees are elemental, enhancement and restoration and each one provides for a particularly unique role for the character, making it one of the most interesting and rewarding classes to play.
The WoW shaman is unique for a number of reasons but most notably because they use totems for buffs and part buffs rather than spells which are cast directly on themselves and others. The only disadvantage is that these totems can easily be destroyed under most circumstances.
Enhancement shamans are also damage dealers, but the talents in this tree are concerned with increasing your overall damage output in melee. This makes the shaman more like a warrior, and coupled with mail armor, they can even tank to a degree in certain situations.
The three talent trees available to the shaman class is elemental, enhancement and restoration. Elemental shamans excel at providing high amounts of ranged damage by improving the spells at their disposal.
Restoration shamans are undoubtedly the most popular and highest in demand for endgame material, since they make perfect healers and can also help to restore mana for other spell casters in their parties. A restoration shaman will have no problem finding a group or a guild for raising and endgame dungeons.
The WoW shaman, while originally limited only to horde players are now playable by Dranei on the Alliance side, so everyone, regardless of their factions, can now enjoy playing this amazing class. It is important however to realize that playing a shaman is generally not a good choice as your first character since they are quite complicated to learn effectively to begin with.
