As a Shaman playing Everquest, your main purpose is to sustain your group and/or raid by providing slows, cures, heals and buffs that can be used on a defensive or agressive stance.

Your spell setup should always be formed by 3 sets of spells:

1- Healing/curing

2- Buffing

3- DPS

Explaining the 3 sets:

1 - Healing curing

As most of you know, shamans are priests and as priests they have increased healing capacities so they benefit from quick healing spells, group healing spells, heal over times and curing spells.

Speaking as a shaman, would be good to have at least this setup on your 4 first spell slots:

- Heal

- Fast heal

- Group heal

- Heal-Over-Time

2 - Buffing

Buffing is a very important part of shamans, while playing a supporting class they need to be fast, efficient and very good at what they do, if they fail, they whole raid or group can fail so you need to get everyone's defensives up and rolling as much as the offensives.

As buffing class you can buff giving your mates extra stats like: stamina, strenght, dexterity, endurance, hitpoints, attack rating and attackspeed.

3 - DPS

As dps you can cast Damage over time and direct damage casts that are based on magic, desease and poison.

Races Edit

Only the Barbarian, Froglok, Ogre, Troll, Iksar, and Vah Shir races can choose the Shaman class.

Additionally the Shaman is the only magic class available for the Barbarian, Troll, and Ogre. Because these classes also have a significant amount of racial strength, this makes a Shaman based on these races one of the sturdier magic users.

Pets Edit

Shaman pets are not able to tank, and they are very dependent on equipment.

Level 30 Edit

At level thirty, pets cannot (this does not get better as they progress)nor do they have a good DPS (damage per second).

Abilities Edit

Shaman pets are known for their ability to slow down mobs, and this makes up for their inability to fight directly.
