i need information on the shaman

[rupturewkd]

The Shaman, like the Paladin for the Alliance, is available only to the Horde. It is a very balanced, "hybrid-type" class. The Shaman is a very versatile class. A Shaman can be either spell-based or combat-based, or a combination of the two. A Shaman can also focus on healing and defensive spells and/or offensive spells. Your role in a party will be determined by your play style and talent selection. However, if you are most interested in filling the healer role within a party the Priest still reigns supreme in that area.

This class can inflict much more direct damage than their human and dwarven counterparts but that damage is still magic based. They rely on elemental magic as well as spiritual guardians as protection for themselves and team mates. They can also set totems such as stasis fields or sentry wards {Serpent and Healing}. They are able to wear cloth, leather and bucklers and can use One-handed maces, one-handed axes and staves.
