In WAR: Age of Reckoning, do you know how to play a Shaman? If not, do not worry about it because we are here going to talk about some useful ways to help you play your Shaman easier.
As a Shaman, we have run across other healers who are less than desirable in this capacity. We have gone as far as to tell these people to change their character if they want to do DPS instead of the primary function of healing the group or raid.
So let us take a look at the following ways to help you play.
The first way is to make a cute goblin and click on the Shaman class (the one with a pointy stick and not with a bow) on the character select screen.
The second way is to log into your Shaman and play through at least one level by yourself to get the hang of healing yourself and killing things first. This is extremely helpful if you have never played a healer and are unsure how to go about doing it.
The third way is to heal into scenario and start healing the group. Do not listen to the chatter that you suck at healing and go roll something else cause you suck that commonly accompanies healers level 1-10 in a scenario. These are common when people feel that they are not getting heals at all but they themselves do not understand that you are healing but your large heal does about 80 health points and they are losing at least that with every hit.
The fourth way is to find a DPS and tank to level with, which is the fastest way to level a Shaman. The best combination is a Black Orc, Shaman, a Sorcerer and Marauder. It might seem like you are being power leveled with many monsters that can be skilled in short period of time because of this combination
The fifth way is that it is not necessary for a Shaman to be full healing specialization until you are running a dungeon and that is the only time you really need to have it. This becomes very important when you obtain level 40 and are running instances such as Bastion Stair North, Blood-wrought Enlcave, Bilerot and even Lost Vale.
The sixth way is that when you are level 40, which can take anywhere from 7 days to 2 months depending on your playing style, you will need to have wards from either Bastion Stair set gear or the Annihilator PvP gear in order to run the second set of instances.
The seventh way is to use Heal over Time and group heals before individual mass heals since these benefit the entire group. If you are healing a main tank primarily then use the big heals along with Heal over Times.
The eighth way is that you are a healer. Do not DPS unless everyone is full health unless you are dispelling Mork/Gork so you do not waste it. Only do this once you are confident with healing the group. Many see the Shaman as a healer only but they can do some damage after their primary purpose.
The ninth way is to heal you butt off during scenarios and instances. This is the key to being a healer because there is a shortage of good healers across all servers.
The tenth way is to make sure that you have you have your healing tree moral 4 on your moral bar because this is the only resurrection that can be used during boss fights and has proven helpful on many raids during instances.
The eleventh way is to have a DPS gear set mostly filled with Intelligence stats and a Healing set that is loaded up with Willpower. This comes in handy as to what function you are serving.
The last way is to have fun with the Shaman and take all comments as constructive criticism.
As above, that is all of the ways to help you to play a Shaman. Good luck!
