Shaman Group PVE Technique

In groups, shamans are great secondary healers, as you can use Lesser Healing Wave for spot healing, Healing Wave in emergencies, and Healing Spring Totem and Chain Heal to heal up multiple teammates at a go. You’re also excellent at buffing, mostly through things like Stoneskin and Strength of Earth Totems, but you can pick any relevant Totem based on the situation.

Although shamans possess ranged magical attacks, you’re going to deal most of your damage in melee, thanks to your weapon buffs. Get in there with your warriors and rogues, then; if your team has a decent tank, you shouldn’t have to worry too much about gaining aggro. After level 40, you can actually become a decent secondary tank, since you’ll be able to upgrade to mail armor.

As with the paladin, shamans are something of a reset button when a fight goes bad. If it looks like your team is going to wipe, retreat under cover of Earthbind and return when the aggro’s off to resurrect your teammates.
