World Of Warcraft Shaman Power Levelling Guide
When you write a World of Warcraft Guide on Shamans you could easily do it by merging a world of warcraft guide for warriors, mages or any healer class. Or you might even make the mistake of thinking that Shamans are Druids, for the simple reason that just like Druids, Shamans are a hybrid class capable of healing, tanking and casting. But you will be told that they don't perform these abilities as well as the classes that are specilized in them. That might be the case to an extent but when you consider that the Druid is able to heal while in the form of a tree or can tank if in the form of a bear, and give damage when turning into a cat, the Shamans is able to do all of those - at once! It is here that lies their power as a solo class and indispensability in a group.The one feature that make Shamans stand out is their use of totems which when planted on the ground give them, and members of their group, various benefits such as additional fire power and healing when combating It's the use of totems and how to use them effectively which is what makes playing a Shaman a challenging experience. There are four types of totems: Earth, Fire, Water and Air and each require split second decision and sound judgement when used in tricky combat situation or group play. They can also resurrect themselves with the Reincarnation spell, as well as other members in their group, every hour of played time; this can also be reduced to forty minutes as more talents are assigned to that ability. This adds to the list of abilities that make them an asset in a group and great to have if you go soloAfter the release of the Burning Crusade expansion, the Shaman class is no longer restricted to the Horde faction. The Dranei race in the Alliance faction can also play Shaman, and of all the classes for them to choose this is arguably the best one for them to choose thanks to various attributes unique to this new race.Upon reaching level 70, you can specialize your Shammy as either an Elemental, Enhancement or Restoration Shaman. Each of these trees has their own unique abilities. For Elemental s, the focus is on high damage casting abilities and this makes it the best choice for power levelling fast while Restoration Shamans have higher healing abilities and later in the game are useful healers and back up casters.This condensed world of warcraft guide on shamans only touches the surface as this is a multi talented and complex class to master. It's a class that is described as jack of all trades and master of none. But this is what makes them fascinating to play, because as you play it you will be able to determine whether you enjoy casting, tanking or healing. And make no mistake, Shamans cab indeed master of all of these abilities as well as any of the more specialized classes making them more expert of all trades and the jack of none.
