Shamans call on the elements: they place totems that help the group, throw lightning and fire, fight in melee with weapons, or heal.

New in Forever

The Shaman is no longer Horde-only. Dwarves can be Shamans for the Alliance, and Horde Skyborne can also play the class – Alliance Skyborne cannot.

Who it suits

Players who want a flexible hybrid that brings something unique to every group.

Tips

Totems matterPlace the right totems for your group – they are a big part of what Shamans bring.
Skyborne ShamansOnly Horde Skyborne can be Shamans.
