Shaman Roles Tactics

As with all the hybrid classes in the game, the Shaman can play many different roles. Here are some of the main ways to play a shaman.

 

• Healer – A shaman may develop himself to rival even the best Paladin and Priest healers with the correct gear and setup
• Solo - You can also develop your shaman to solo fairly well
• PVP - Shamans make excellent PvP characters thanks to all the shocks and totems to aid them.
• DPS (Melee) – Shamans are able to output fairly good DPS and improve the other melee DPS in the group or raid when up-close to an enemy with their supporting totems from the Enhancement tree.
• DPS (Caster) – Shamans are able to output excellent burst DPS on many encounters with their lightning attacks and shocks. Totems that aid ranged DPS also help.
