For the most part, Shamans are used as healers. Spells like [[Spell: Breath of Nature|Breath of Nature]] from [[Halls of Honor]] and [[Spell: Timeless: Chlorobon|Timeless: Chlorobon]] from [[Abyss]] works quite well for keeping tank and group alive. They also get a spell called [[Spell: Skin of the Drake|Skin of the Drake]], which is a line of spells that, when cast on another player, makes them get healed every time they are attacked. [[Spell: Skin of the Drake|Skin of the Drake]] was nerfed in early 2015, and is not as powerful as it has been in the past, but is still a beneficial buff to put on your tanking character up to a certain point. In later tiers, it's healing is negligible.

The [[Idol of the Jailed]] is an item off [[Venril Sathir]] and it does some solid damage when you click it. Once you get some decent gear, the Shaman is also not half bad with it's melee damage output, so it's recommended to have it attack NPCs once you don't need to target a PC to heal.
The [[Spell: Timeless: Pack Regeneration|Hit Point Regeneration buff]] they get will also help the hit point upkeep of your group, as well as the [[Spell: Blessing of Ancient Oak|Blessing of the Ancient Oak buffs]] which gives you a solid hit point bump.

Once your druid is attuned for [[Veeshan's Peak]] it gets some solid upgrades both in terms of DPS and healing. This fits well with Druids being a hybrid class. With the [[Spell: Fountain of Karana]] you can cast an area of effect rain healing spell that heals your entire raid in waves.

As a support class the Shaman has quite a few spells that can benefit your group and raids. One of the hallmark Shaman buffs is the [[Spell: Spirit of the Kraken]], which will add a spell damage proc to the characters in your group. Another buff that will increase your groups damage is the spell [[Spell: Ancestral Grudge|Ancestral Grudge]]. The spell [[Spell: Champion|Champion]] modifies skill damage, so that one may also be worth using for you. [[Spell: Malos Malignance]] can also be used to increase incoming spell damage on an NPC.

Vah Shir Shaman with Twice Blessed Staff from Temple of Veeshan

What to expect from the Shaman class on EZServer (2023):

The Shaman is a hybrid class and in some ways similar to the Druid. They are both support classes with various buffs and heal spells. While the Druid can wear the casters version of Earring of the Ages, which makes it deal more spell damage, the Shaman uses the melee version of the earring, effectively doing more melee damage.


For the most part, Shamans are used as healers. Spells like Breath of Nature from Halls of Honor and Spell: Acquittal of the Tribunal from Anguish works quite well for keeping tank alive. Once you get to Veeshan's Peak and get your Golden Showers of Norrath you can cast an area of effect rain healing spell that heals your entire raid in waves. This is a really strong spell that helps your paladins with the healing work. Since you can target a mob when using the healing spell, you can also add another strong ability to make the Shaman do damage as well as healing the raid. The Idol of the Jailed is an item off Venril Sathir and it does some solid damage when you click it. Once you get some decent gear, the Shaman is also not half bad with it's melee damage output, so it's recommended to have it attack NPCs once you don't need to target a PC to heal.


As a support class the Shaman has quite a few spells that can benefit your group and raids. One of the hallmark Shaman buffs is the Spell: Spirit of the Kraken, which will add a spell damage proc to the characters in your group. Another buff that will increase your groups damage is the spell Ancestral Grudge. The spell Champion modifies skill damage, so that one may also be worth using for you. Spell: Malos Malignance can also be used to increase incoming spell damage on an NPC. The Shaman's Epic Augment casts a MGB'able buff that slightly increases the targets hit points. While this can be useful in lower tiers, the added hit points from the buff is pretty negligible in higher tiers.
