The end game for the WoW  shaman mirrors the versatility of their leveling. It is player defined; find the role with which you are most comfortable and the gaming sky is the limit. With the in-game option of changing your spec, the WoW Shaman can often fill in the gaps that groups may face. Throughout every major end game encounter, I’ve grouped with Shamans who have acted as both the primary and secondary healers. Additionally I’ve grouped with those who do extensive damage in the role of DPS, and can often off-tank for a bit. This also applies to the WoW shaman’s function in PvP. Their high armor class potential gives them a bit of a longer shelf life then some other classes. With the dynamic motion of PvP, the WoW Shaman’s totems become a little bit more limited.

The bottom line is the WoW Shaman is a versatile class, which is one of their greatest strengths. Be warned, such versatility comes with a price. Having a wide array of choices to select from, you will seldom be number one in the ranking of your choice. That is not the worst fate a gamer can face. However, if topping the meters in competion in is an absolute necessity to you, you may not want to choose the WoW Shaman. If being a well rounded player that can PvP and group with great results, I would highly recommend this class. Keep in mind, Shatner did the World of Warcraft commercial for this class, and that should count for a lot.
