Rank 5: Shaman
133 votes, or 8.7%, were cast for the Shaman, placing him in 5th place on the MeinMMO ranking.
What makes Shamans special? Shamans were originally a class only available to the Horde, until The Burning Crusade allowed Draenei to become Shamans for the Alliance.
They work with totems and the elements and can take on three different roles. One of their unique abilities is to self-resurrect through the “Ankh” every 30 minutes, even in battle.
The specializations of the Shaman
- Elemental: Elemental Shamans are the spellcasters of the class, dealing damage from a distance with lightning strikes and summoned elementals. Due to their versatility in combat, they shine in many situations, but they do lack mobility.
- Enhancement: The Enhancement specialization is the melee variant of the DPS specialization and works with various elemental enchantments on their weapons. Their main feature is “Wind Fury,” which allows their attacks to sometimes be executed twice. Although they deal a lot of damage, they quickly lose it if they need to distance themselves briefly from the opponent.
- Restoration: The healing specialization. Restoration Shamans heal their group with chain and area healing and can effectively counter strong damage to many targets. They are less suitable for single targets and strong tank damage.
