Mediators of the elements who strengthen, heal and attack with totems, lightning and ancestral spirits.
History & role
Shamans ask the elements for aid instead of wresting power from them. They act as go-betweens for the spirits of nature and the peoples, and depending on training they cast from range, fight in melee or heal.
The orcish shaman tradition was corrupted on Draenor by the Burning Legion until Thrall revived it and made it a cornerstone of the Horde. Other peoples have their own roots in shamanism as well.
What sets the class apart
Totems
Totems are stationary objects that mostly affect an area around them. You can keep up to four at once, one each for Earth, Fire, Water and Air.
Weapon enchants
Windfury and other elemental imbues go on your weapons. Which one you pick depends on the weapon and the situation.
Ghost Wolf
From level 20 you turn into a Ghost Wolf to move faster.
Reincarnation
From level 30 you can resurrect yourself. It needs an Ankh as a reagent, and the ability has a long cooldown.
