You need to talk to the weapon masters in other cities. You can learn other weapons @ any lvl, assuming you talk to the weapon masters to train for them. Aside from having to use(waste) a talent for 2H weapons (mace and axe), shaman's can use just about everything, except swords (1 or 2 handed), Polearms, ranged weapons, and wands.

Persoally i think elemental shamans should have a talent for using wands...

if i run out of mana in pvp im essentially dead even if i usualy only die twice with the most kills "chain lightning FTW"

GF i think your wrong about that 2h point... for pvp enhancement shamans (not really the best choice as enhancement is truly for pve)

burst damage is king and if WF procs on a hefty slow-*** 2h thats a kill with an added earthshock, which is a reason i hate going up against enhancement shamans in pvp as i actually have to try and kill them, as with most other classes *mages and pallys in particular* really have no chance with me

Huh!?

If you actually read the OP and my reply, its in regards to "can" a shaman learn other weapons. Not a question or a reply that hinted to a opinion regarding a 2H's worth in a given situation (weither it be PvE or PvE).

Skimming BAD, reading thru GOOD.

If anything my statement points out that we Shaman's are the only class in the game that actually has to SPEND a talent in order to use specific weapons(s), instead of learning them solely via weapons master. Thus we "waste" a talent, unlike everyone else that its just the "standard". Granted this is slated for revision according to the 2.3 notes, granted this is just more of a testiment of Blizz's glaring oversites regarding the Shaman class, and a "fix" that is long over due.

thanks for the replies guys...

i've learned to use 1hand axe from IF yesterday...

guess coming from a sword wielding warrior, i kinda missed the sword...

but axe and mace only so far... and it's going ok...

shammy seems like a fun class to play... feel like there is a lot of potential there but i'm not really getting the max out of it...

for leveling, should i go elemental? enhancement?

gear wise, i was looking at intellect and stam gear... but it seems that at lowbie leveling, i get face to face a lot with the mobs...

thanks again.

You need to go to Darnassus for Staves, if you want 2 hand axe/mace go Enhancement to get it at 20, pretty sure you don't need to go and train 2 hand axe/mace if you have already learnt the 1-hand, just spend the talent point.

Enhance v. Elemental = elem wins unless player is noob. Big weakness for enhance is no charge or stun to close in on target. Frost shock ain't same. ElemShammy will win every time unless enhance gets jump on him.
