WoW Shaman Guide

In the real word, a shaman is a believer of the spiritual world. In the World of Warcraft, the character Shaman is an integral member of any group that possesses great power and incredible skills. If you are thinking of choosing this character, then continue to read for a guide on how to become a great Shaman.

It is important that you remember when you start as a Shaman, make sure that your skills match the shaman class and that you join a group that needs a shaman. Finding a group that is in need of a Shaman or making sure that your own skills match well with this type of class is one of the most important things you should take a look at first before you start using the Shaman. On his own, a shaman may not hold up against enemies, but with a group, he can be a great asset.

Getting Started as a Shaman

I must tell you that the race of character for this class is quite limited. Only the Dranei can be Shaman for the Alliance, and the Orc, Trolls, the Undead or Tauren for the Horde. If you are on the Horde side, only the Trolls, Orc, the Undead or Taurean can qualify to be a Shaman. Even though, you should not take its weak points for granted, for they may be useful in the long run.

Every moment you cast a spell, your mana points suffer. Your goal is to use your mana points wisely by using moderate approach, not using too much nor too little. It is best to approach moderately, avoiding utilizing too much or too little. It’s best to be moderate about it, not using too much or too little, to achieve more success in using this class. Otherwise, you’ll either spend most of your time regenerating or losing health points.

Shamans are known for their healing skills, that is why you must try to build up your spell arsenal, your ranged weapons and most specially, your healing spells. Since you are working with a group, you have to be always ready with your healing spells and potions, to assure the group of your importance.

Choosing a Shaman Profession

I would suggest professions such as Enchanting and Herbalism rather than leatherworking or blacksmithing, as the first two are the most appropriate professions for this class. The best profession for Shamans are herbalism and enchanting. Skinning could be another facet but only to a small degree. It’s also suggested that you look for the right combination of primary and secondary professions.

You may consider herbalism and enchanting as you primary and secondary professions. Nevertheless, combining alchemy and herbalism or enchanting plus alchemy is not a bad idea. Others think that mining (as secondary profession) will help you get items, but it actually wastes your extra time in the game.







If you wish to create money, mixing potions is by far the best business for a Shaman. Potions are usually in high on demand and you could always have them for yourself. Devote more time on because this will help you to increase in skill and create more powerful spells and potions that will earn you more money and acclaim.

Although a tailoring profession can also be useful, most players like to purchase their own armor only when they need it. Do not worry; for leather armors are available at Level 40 at an available price. During the journey, pieces of armors are given away as rewards. Therefore, choose a profession that will help you develop your skills for your group.
