It doesn't matter how many changes were done in the shaman class during cataclysm, this class still ranks on the top of the most played in World of Warcraft. Healing Rains is one of the new healing spell for Shaman. This spell can be used to heal a particular group over a period of time and is available when you reach level 83. The commonly used Healing Wave was also upgraded and become Greater Healing Wave, which is a more powerful direct heal compared to the previous versions. Resto Shamans will be more effective than Priests in different scenarios.
The offensive skills of shamans were also enhanced by the Unleashed Weapons that looks like the Judgement skill of Paladin's. There are 3 different kinds of weapons to choose from, first is the Flametoungue, this skill instantly hits the enemy with Fire damage and it increases the amount of damage that your next Fire Spell will cause by 20 percent. Next weapon is the Earthliving, this one is used for healing your target and increases by 20percent the next healing buff you'll cast. Last but not the least is the Windfurry, this one throws a clone of your weapon to the target. It makes 50percent of original damage of your weapon and provides you with more haste on your 5 succeeding swings.
The arsenal of Resto shamans were greatly improved by these additional healing buffs and it further adds to the toughness of this class. However, it's important to always remember that the effects of Healing Rains decreases with the number of benefactors. So it means that the healing effects will be lesser when there are more people that need to be healed in the group. Another great skill for shaman is the Spiritwalker's Grace, this skill will let you move or take hits but still be able to cast your buffs or spells.
Although some of these changes that took place in cataclysm are good, there are still some things that you need to know especially for most mana utilizing classes. One of these is to watch carefully your mana levels because it can go down much faster compared to when you're using Wrath of the Lich King WOTLK. These new skills aside from having powerful effects, they could cost more mana, so be sure that you carry loads of mana drinks if want to survive longer in PVP, PVE and Raids. Aside from this, there are also new shaman professions added during this expansion that can greatly speed up your gold farming needs.
