Shaman

Shaman

Patrons of Ymir, the ancient god whose body comprises the world of Midgard, Shaman are tribal spellcasters who specialize in a variety of healing and combat magic. Their healing abilities are primitive in comparison with the cultured Healer class, but good enough to serve as a primary healer in a group when needed. They are best known for their buffing abilities. They have a large selection of buffs they use to enhance the battle abilities of their comrades. As with most classes, the Shaman is not without an offensive option. The Shaman has a spell line, which composes primarily of fungal magic and damage-over-time spells, which slowly decompose the bodies of the enemy. They rely on their tribal training to guide them into battle.

Tactics

RVR

The primary job of the shaman in an 8v8 is to interrupt with shears, disease and roots, followed closely by disease/ns cure and rebuffs. The same is true for multiple groups, with rezzes and some heals thrown in, depending on the situation. In a siege, shaman is usually expected to place a fop (Font of Power, ml5 perfector ability), then group cure disease and heal if unable to interrupt. In a smallman scenario, shearing and diseasing non-CC'ed enemies is a priority, due to mediocre rebuffs and kiting potential.
