Shaman is the new WarlockFollow

Hey all,

I started out in this game about 18 months ago and rolled a warlock. Away I went leveling and I hit 60 the day before the BC xpac came out and then on to 70. I then started a few alts including a rogue, hunter, warrior, shaman, pally, and mage. Most of these alts only made it into the mid to late 20s. Once patch 2.3 hit I started leveling up my shaman enhancement.

I have to say this was so much fun to do after months of sending in pet and fear kiting. I haven't really touched my warlock since then and have just been leveling up my Shaman. It's my new main.

How many of you started with something else and then switched to shaman and never looked back?

I started out as a Rogue, but quit that after lvl 14 (boring). then i tried a mage and liked that. leveld it up to lvl 25, and the TBC came out, and i had to try a Draenei Shaman.

Now i only play on the shammy (only on lvl 51). Just respecced to resto, and i love it =).

I've never looked back

An I love Shaman thread? Wouldn't know it's a fn class by reading the O-boards these days.

My main on the US servers is a shammy, and have enjoyed the PvE enhancement alot with it.. I never PvP, so.. I guess that's why I keep thinking its so fun^^ Dispite it's PvP flaws, it's been one of the funnest classes I've played next to mage.

Hey, at least I put it in the shaman forum, lol.

Well I didn't start with a warlock I need an Alchemist and I didn't have a shammy and I wanted a Tauren for the herb bonus. I was just going to use him as a herb farmer and Potions maker. But I notice he kept surviving fights all my others had wiped in. It was like he just wouldn't die. I started running him through dungeons that were red and orange. He just wouldn't die. OK, Mabye that is extrem, but he died much less than any of my others and he could drag out a hopless fight till the tide turned. I love my shammy he just won't die.

No class would be fun if you went by that.

Elemental and enhancement have the same DPS repectively but i never really thought enhancement was too much fun >.< i love elemental =D and I LOVE SHAMANS!!!!!!!!!!

Rogue is still my fav but not by far and its a hard decision. I love the pvp side of rogues. But I love the pve side of shamans by far. Elemental is so much to solo with. I have no doubt that if Bliz ever did fix our pvp, that it'd take that slot too.

I have lvled a mage and a hunter to 70 as well as a lock to 67. I was bored one day and made a shammy. He is now 63 enh spec and i haven't looked back at my others since. I tried to play my lock one day but was only on him for 3 minutes before i was logging off and getting on my shammy to play.

I like shamans so much I have 2 of them.

Got a level 70 troll shaman (resto specced) on Illidan. Did some Kara with him, went to Gruul's once or twice.

I also have a level 45ish Draenei (female of course) shaman (enhance spec) on Kael'thas where my brother-in-law plays.

Sham really is a diverse class and it's fun to play.

I've played hunter, lock and warrior to 50+. My main was a 70 rogue. I loved my rogue, it's so fun totally disabling another class while you tear them down and if you're paying attention, rogues have enough tricks to get out of almost any sticky situation.

Then I decided to roll a shaman (elemental) and now only log on my rogue to make food, unlock boxes and farm herbs and ore.

Shamans are tons of fun and very dynamic. In groups, if I'm paying attention:

-I can be top of the damage meter 95% of the time
-I can off-heal on tougher pulls and throw in emergency heals to save lives
-Drop an elemental for some aoe dps or for brief tankage/distraction
-Also, everyone loves the totems, including myself
-Free hearth every 15mins rocks for travel time

I'd say being a watchful off-healer is probably the most satisfying aspect of being an ele shaman. When someone in your group is about to go down and you switch to heals briefly to give the main healer(s) a chance to catch up, you are truly playing this class as it should be played, providing dynamic support to your party (while still blowing everyone else off the dps meter).

In most cases where we might need extra CC (/whimper) or the mobs hit very hard, I just switch to heals when needed :)

P.S. I hate shaman that don't drop totems (I'm talking about you enhancement shamans!!! jk, but it's a true stereotype, lazy sob's)

SHamans Ha they own way too much
I lvled rogue to 70 hellah yeah that was fun but im not going to lie got really boring every coulpe of lvls well afther 2months of bc i got her to 70 and she is all geared out and everthing but i saw so many gay *** looking space monkeys going around putting totems down.
I w2as like eww they look ugly and my borther has a space monkey shaman lvl 70 and i like it alot

So i decided to make a TAUREN shaman baby they own lvl 54 now only been playing him for about 2months feel like ii have no life but what can i say i love my shaman elemental spec too

Now i can say this i used to like the ally then made horde OMG!!!!! Ally=Gay
Horde+hmm pwnage

I love the idea of gaining "interest" on gold that is just sitting on a toon that you aren't using. I LMAO when I read about getting Stormwind to give out bonds or something. What a great idea.
You could alwasy pay the $25 transfer fee to get your SP switched over to your new server though.
