Despite having key roles in the World of Warcraft lore (including a key figure in the story of the Horde) shamans tend to be a rather overlooked character class. They were the hybrid class before druids gained moonkin form, and can do mean dps as a caster or a melee class.

But they are still wow gold rather under represented. Is it the sheer amount of totems? Is it the almost split second shifting of party roles that worries people? Shamans are considered a jack of all trades, good at many things but master of none. This fact should not push you away buy wow gold from them though.

Totems and buffs.
Totems are what makes a shaman a shaman. They bring with them multiple buffs that another class can never top in their sheer number. They can debuff enemies in range. They can help the shaman in their mana regen, all at the cheap wow gold same time as the shaman can place down not just one but four out at any given time.

On top of totems, shaman can not only resurrect themselves to recover and help a fight or a dead party, but they can also cast the arguably best damage enhancing buff in the game - Bloodlust/Heroism. world of warcraft gold This buff is so important that never have I've been in a raid and never heard it called for towards killing a boss.

Think on what role you plan to specialize in.
Elemental? Enhancement? Restoration? Each role plays differently, spec differently, and gear differently. Have a plan rift platinum from the onset what you see your shaman as primarily being. Unlike single role classes where no matter how speced still are that role, speccing wrongly can make you insufficient at any of your roles.

Keep in mind you will have to change up on the fly.
Like most hybrid classes, sometimes things runescape gold happen. Sometimes the group healer dies. Sometimes a dps has fallen dead and everyone is topped off for the moment health wise. Or maybe a mob has broken free from a snare and needs to be controlled before it kills the healer. Some many situations can arise that a non hybrid class may find themselves S.O.L. over.

A shaman that normally does caster damage will have to be able to pick up healing on the fly. A dps may have to semi tank to keep squishier classes alive. Totems may have to be switched out to slow a mob...a shaman is all about following the needs of the group. Always when gathering gear, collect an offset for other roles just in case.
