Shaman

Overview: Shaman are versatile magic-based characters with the capability to deal impressive damage with offensive spells while also strengthening themselves and their allies with invaluable support skills. With their unique abilities, shaman can be indespensible in group play and also can take on challenges alone, if they so wish. Specifics: Stats In general, shaman value intelligence over all else because with more INT points, attack skill damage increases as well as the effect of most buffs and support skills. Vitality and dexterity are popular followers given their positive effect on survivability and overall power, respectively. Of course, there are many variations of shaman builds depending on a player's specific preference in gameplay. Different builds serve different purposes whether it's a pure PvM, pure PvP, support, or some hybrid of these roles. As such, it is highly recommended to check out the Shaman section of the forum to read about different opinions and experiences on this subject. Weaponry Shaman are unique in their weaponry, being the only class unable to wield a sword, but the only class that can hold a fan or bell. to see a complete list of shaman weapons, see Shaman Weapons The choice between using a fan or a bell in any given situation can be quite simple. Of course, the presence of stones and bonuses can greatly affect the effectiveness of one weapon over another, but in general, there are some simple choices to make. In the case of PvM where the shaman is fighting on horseback (provided that shaman have a warhorse or military horse), the choice is exclusive to using a bell. There are a few reasons for this, the most obvious being that fans are simply ineffective on horseback. More importantly, bells generally have higher physical attack value than fans of equivalent level and quality. Shaman can also excel at PvM on foot with a fan, especially with fast casting speed. Shaman can deal high damage quickly with successive spells, and can also buff easier while constantly fighting on foot. Support shaman rely more on item bonuses than the items themselves, though if it is a support hybrid shaman that remains on foot, a fan may be preferred for the instances where the shaman is required to fight to defend his or herself. For PvP, a fan is almost always preferred, given its higher magical attack value, which increases skill damage. (An exception to this rule is the bamboo bell which, at +9, has more magical attack value than any fan) Armor Shaman armor is called clothing, though players often still call shaman armor dresses, since female was the only available gender for shaman earlier in Metin2 history. to see a complete list of shaman armor, see Shaman Armor Subclass: Healer/Dragon
