Shaman is a fun class to play.

Since I just found out I'm the last employee of this company before it shuts down and my ass gets thrown onto the pavement in a few months due to a retarded series of events, I'll not answer phones for a few moments while I describe the ever so typical hour in the life of a shaman.

First, you must be in ghost wolf form to travel. Unless you were lucky enough to plow into the Koolaid man with the front end of your car in traffic, and now wield his ass plate and his penis as a mace and shield, you will do jack shit for damage unless specced for it or continue to click your "windfury" button like a telegram operator on crack.

IE if your mounted, and your AFK ass runs into crap in EPL. You have one of two options.

Let the inevitable happen and die, and waste an ank and rez. Or run back to your corpse and remember, mounts for for morons!

Or, you could try your your luck at totems. Mainly earthbind, stoneclaw, flameshock, and then, earthbind. Or try and be Neo from the matrix and turn around, frostshock while maintaining your haul ass velocity in the opposite direction from said mob.

Oh, but wait, by using frostshock you've just negated earthbind and the mob will run towards you faster, and you'll die. Yay.

Ok, so you die again, ghostwolf up and get to the instance.

Ok firs things first, you can't have hunters, and rogues in the same party, unless there are more than one shaman in the raid. Which is pointless because unless your resto specced, a preist on a date rape drug could heal better than two shamans, even with +int/healing gear.

So, you let hunters and rogues bitchslap it out as to which totem gets dropped, winfury, or grace of air. Only hope to god you got IMP GOA or people are going to kick you from the raid and get a paladin.

OK, so thats established. Yay.

Now, during the fight, DON'T USE CHAIN LIGHTNING. Yes its a wonderful spell but for the love of god don't use it. It randomly chooses to jump to the MA mob, to the sheeped mob, and if your lucky, agro that next pull sitting over there looking at the group your attacking their buddies placing bets on how loud <A Generic Mob> is going to scream when Cladnin turns him into Frosty the fucking sno man.

You can't hit, you can't really heal unless specced and geared for it, and you'll run out of mana faster than moses leading a Jenny Craig workshop through the desert if you try and do damage by casting.

Earthshock is good to interupt spells. Oh yea, it also generates aggro. Good luck getting that crap off you. I suppose thats why Shamans get mail. To bad you just cast FROSTSHOOOOOOOOOK trying to look cool when the mob you and your party are about to kill just healed himself of all damage.

Anyway, yea...Ally shamans. Yay. Only its intergalactic shamans! FROSTSHOCK.....IN.....SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.
