Project Lore

Masters of the elements, shaman are one of World of Warcraft's hybrid classes. Shaman are extremely flexible, and, depending on talents and gear, they can act as ranged caster DPS, melee DPS, or healers. A shaman's totems can enhance any class' abilities and are some of the most important and powerful group buffs available. Shaman are available to Dranei, Orcs, Tauren, and Trolls. Shaman can wield any melee weapon except for swords. They can also use leather armor, shields, and at level 40 can train to use mail armor. They cannot wield any ranged weapons, as that slot is reserved for a Totem Relic.
