Warcraft Ratings

Shaman's are quite awesome. Such hybrids when leveling, then great dps and heals at max level.

I repent all the years that I swore how stupid shamans were as a class. I've now got 4 of them across several servers and love them all.

Nothing quite beats the feeling of being a Shaman, Bloodlusting, Chain Healing madness all around.

Fun to level, and just plain fun to be. Epic support, from totems to bloodlust. Amazing class

Windfury used to one shot things. Like warriors, and trees, and large boulders that where too close to the mage that was being attacked.

The support this class brings to a group is almost unmatched. Totems provide great raid buffs, and Bloodlust is a great spell in the Shaman arsenal. Plus, they generally get cool looking shoulders and gear.

This class is really fun to play, it really feels like hybrid class when you level a shaman.

Love playing them, hate fighting them, and the horror of battling pre-BC shammies in battlegrounds still runs deep.

Even though I'm playing my pally and rogue more these days, my shammy will always be my main. I love the totem mechanic, and the strategy of using the right totems at the right time (situational ones, like tremor and nature resist). The class has a lot of unique abilities that set it apart.

I was crazy and levelled resto, picked up elemental when dual specs came out, and now I have another, enhancement, on the backburner. I like healing, and I love buffing and supporting, and doing both as a shaman feels great.

Shamans, nobody hates shamans, well...you shoudln't, they arnt a hatable class in my opinion, i cant stand playing a shaman, but I never met a shaman i didnt like, and i dont like a lot of things...shamans are up on top of my "Classes you must be friends with" list.
and really, shamans are usefull classes too, its the class that cares about nature, and isn't one of those "classes that everybody wants to play" like hunters be cause they get cool pets, or druids, because they turn into lions, and panthers, and bears, and trees, and owl-things.

While both Shamans and Shaman are correct plurals (Shaman's and Shamen are not) Blizzard generally uses Shaman in its WarCraft material.

Also: Enhancement is very fun for leveling, so many cooldowns to pop, you can take down any elite!
