Shaman

Description

Shamans are a versatile wisdom caster with strong healing and damage capabilities, and some of the best buffs in the game.

Stengths/Weaknesses

Pros

• Excellent buffs (Avatar, Focus, Haste, various stats, SoW and other utility)
• Excellent debuffs (Slow, resist debuffs)
• Good heals (Quick Heal, Mini-CH, Torpor)
• Decent damage (Poison/Disease DoTs, Pet)
• Cannibalize line is improved on RetroQuest, and allows HP->Mana
• Fairly tanky for a caster

Cons

• Healing ability is less than other wisdom casters.

Grouping

A shaman pairs particularly well with melee classes. Their buffs are welcome in any group, and their debuffs make them especially good when tackling difficult encounters. If your end-game goal is killing the hardest stuff possible with a duo or small group, a shaman will be essential to your party. Their heals are effective enough to fulfill the primary healer role in a full group, but they can also contribute decent damage with their DoTs and pet when necessary.

Raiding

A shaman's primary contribution in a raid setting is buffing others and debuffing the raid targets. After the primary target has been debuffed, their role is typically spot healing and contributing damage. The inclusion of group versions for most of their buffs and the low cooldown on Mass Group Buff on IxiQuest makes keeping buffs up on everyone significantly less frustrating than on a strictly classic-era server.
