Shaman in WoW TBC
The glue that holds TBC raids together — not the flashiest class, but the most important one.
The Shaman is a mail-wearing hybrid and the glue of a TBC group — not the flashiest class, but the one raids build around thanks to totems, Bloodlust/Heroism and Windfury. It can heal, deal ranged or melee damage, and drops totems that buff everyone standing near them.
Elemental is a caster DPS that buffs other casters with Totem of Wrath; Enhancement is a dual-wield melee spec whose Windfury Totem supercharges the whole melee group; Restoration is often rated the best healer in the game and the only source of Bloodlust/Heroism. Enhancement and Elemental level well, while Resto is a support spec you respec into. Whatever you pick, a Shaman is always wanted.
