Are you aware that Thrall, the founder of Kalimdom and one of the pillars of Warcraft lore, is a shaman? Born an orc and raised by noble humans, Thrall developed into a master of the elements and ascended the Hordic hierarchy to establish himself as one of Azeroth's mightiest characters.As a shaman especially specced in the restoration tree, you will be a very much sought after healer in 25 man raids. In end game boss battles, splash damage - meaning the injuries suffered by players within a certain radius - will be inescapable. Single target healers like pallies, druids and priests will have a challenging time keeping people up. But not you. As a resto shammy, you will have one powerful weapon: chain heal. A solitary cast of this mighty spell will heal 3 people at once. Keep casting chain heal and you are certain to top healing tables for every raid.

A shammy can be a student of all crafts. Though he can never become an expert with any without dedicating all his talent points for the appropriate specialization, a shammy is still a great hybrid class, one of the finest - if not the very finest - in this MMORPG we call WoW.If only one word was to describe a shaman, without blinking, the word to be given should be "versatile."
