The Mystical Shaman
As we wind down to the beginning of the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes open
beta, interest in choosing a class is at an all time high. Zinn offers
another of his comprehensive guides to help make your choice easier (or
more difficult, as the case may be). This time we're featuring the
mystical shaman. Learn about the class and how shamans use things like
spirit bonds and patrons to distinguish themselves. We've also included
spells right up to level 50!
The Shaman is first and foremost a healer. The
Shaman's choice of
patron (which is quested for at level 15) greatly influences
the flavor of this class. Her patron grants her many unique abilities
and a pet. (Shamans along with Necromancers are the two primary pet
classes in Vanguard.) Shamans are quite versatile; they can cause
damage with spells or melee. They are arguably the best soloing class
of the healer classes.
