Shaman Specialty

Greenskins live for battle, and fighting provides the strange and twisted power that fuels their magic. By participating in battle ¨C calling down the wrath of Gork and Mork, or just being up in the fight with the lads ¨C the Shaman taps into the collective frenzy to gain Waaagh! power. This gathered Waaagh! energy drives the strength of his supporting magic to new heights. With Waaagh! power blazing in his eyes, his spells can heal more wounds or empower his allies to achieve feats of unbelievable destruction.

Playing as a Shaman

As a Shaman, you¡¯ll have to walk a careful line in balancing your offensive and support abilities. You can achieve the greatest rate of healing by focusing on that skill exclusively. You can maximize your rate of damage by focusing purely on those abilities. However, focusing on a single talent will lessen your overall impact on the battle. The strength your support skills gain from an ongoing Waaagh! is significant. Using your offensive magic to contribute directly to the fight will increase the power of your support magic, allowing you to better help your group.

Fighting the Shaman

With the Shaman¡¯s power to support and enhance his allies, he is at his strongest when he fights with a team. With this in mind, you¡¯d be advised to take the earliest opportunity to eliminate him ¨C an opportunity his group mates will do their best to deny you. In each fight you must carefully weigh the opposition, and determine the best time to strike at the Shaman. Attack too early and you risk facing deadly reprisals from the Shaman¡¯s uninjured allies. Attack too late and you may lack the power to overcome the groups Waaagh! enhanced defenses.
