Getting Started as a Shaman

The choices for the race of a shaman character are limited. For the Alliance, only the Dranei can be Shamans. If you are on the Horde side, only the Trolls, Orc, the Undead or Taurean can qualify to be a Shaman. This indicates that you will initially need to accept some of this races weaker points, as they do have long-term benefits and uses.

Each time you cast a spell, you lose mana points. Knowing how to use your mana the right way is important as you will be dealing more with spells and potions rather than physical battle. It’s best to be moderate about it, not using too much or too little, to achieve more success in using this class.

Otherwise, you’ll either spend most of your time regenerating or losing health points.

Shamans are known for their healing skills, that is why you must try to build up your spell arsenal, your ranged weapons and most specially, your healing spells. Shamans need groups for protection, and groups needs Shamans for the healing spells, which is why it may be best to learn all of the healing spells and potions.

How to pick a Shaman profession

It’s not a good idea to focus on more physical professions like leatherworking and blacksmithing. The best profession for Shamans are herbalism and enchanting. Skinning could be another facet but only to a small degree. It is vital that you find the right balance between primary and secondary professions.

The two recommended professions above are the best, but you could also opt to mix alchemy with herbalism or enchanting and alchemy. Nevertheless, combining alchemy and herbalism or enchanting plus alchemy is not a bad idea. Others think that mining (as secondary profession) will help you get items, but it actually wastes your extra time in the game.







As a Shaman, the best way to make money would probably have to be by making potions. Potions are high in demand and very useful to Shamans themselves. Devote more time on because this will help you to increase in skill and create more powerful spells and potions that will earn you more money and acclaim.

Although it can still be useful to pick the tailoring profession, since this makes you capable of working on your own armor, most players opt to just buy their own when needed. Do not worry; for leather armors are available at Level 40 at an available price. During the journey, pieces of armors are given away as rewards. Therefore, choose a profession that will help you develop your skills for your group.
