World of Warcraft Shaman - Why
Play A Shaman In The World Of
Warcraft?
Are you aware that Thrall, the founder
of Kalimdom and one of the pillars of Warcraft lore, is a
shaman? Born an orc and raised by noble humans, Thrall developed
into a master of the elements and ascended the Hordic hierarchy
to establish himself as one of Azeroth's mightiest
characters.
If only one word was to describe a
shaman, without blinking, the word to be given should be
"versatile."
A shammy can be a student of all
crafts. Though he can never become an expert with any without
dedicating all his talent points for the appropriate
specialization, a shammy is still a great hybrid class, one of
the finest - if not the very finest - in this MMORPG we call
WoW.
As a shaman especially specced in the
restoration tree, you will be a very much sought after healer in
25 man raids. In end game boss battles, splash damage - meaning
the injuries suffered by players within a certain radius - will
be inescapable. Single target healers like pallies, druids and
priests will have a challenging time keeping people up. But not
you. As a resto shammy, you will have one powerful weapon: chain
heal. A solitary cast of this mighty spell will heal 3 people at
once. Keep casting chain heal and you are certain to top healing
tables for every raid.
As a shammy focusing on the
enhancement line, you will be much desired in 25 man raids too.
it's not because of your chain heal this time, as the
effectiveness of that magic will be greatly minimized, but for
one move that will transform you into the most popular person
for melee damage dealers: windfury totem. Windfury totem will
give the members of your party the opportunity to deal an extra
swing of their weapon with jacked up numbers, maximizing their
damage output tremendously. And as an enhancement shammy, you
will be dealing fantastic DPS yourself.
As a shammy
especially specced in the elemental line, you will be possesed
of a skill set similar to a mage. Though you will be deprived of
the mana efficiency of mages, you will have a skill that will
make up for the same and will make mana-using character types
love you: mana regeneration. summon mana spring totem and your
party will have a neverending stream of regenerating mana. When
the party completely runs out of mana, summon mana tide totem
and watch their mana bars fill up by twenty-five percent.
Despite the nature of his spec, a shammy is required to
provide backup heals when the main healers drop out of the
fight. Given the flexible nature of the character type of
Shaman, this should not be difficult for an experienced
