Goblin Shaman Class Guide

The goblin shaman looks to be a healer and support class for the greenskins, but also a damage dealing class as well with magic.

Estimated Strengths
  • Has the ability to heal itself and others
  • Has many different crowd control abilities and ways to escape

Estimated Weaknesses

  • Armor is VERY weak
  • Can be killed very quickly

PVP (Player vs Player)

From what I have seen of this class, they are quite squishy when it comes to PVP. This might be because people are not used to taking advantage of the Golbin Shaman crowd control. There are a few videos on Youtube of the Goblin Shaman and some that show them getting killed in a matter of 3 or 4 hits. This doesn't seem uncommon though. If you played world of warcraft, you could see that classes like priests, mages and warlocks could get killed pretty quickly if the players didn't know what they were doing. Maybe this class will pan out better in PVP in the long run, but as of right now it is not the strongest class for PVP combat.

PVE (Player vs Environment)

Now for PVE, this is a whole different genre of usability for the Golbin Shaman. These guys will be expected to heal when taking on the big guys. Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure this character is the only class that can heal for the greenskins. You can always find a zealot (who I believe heals) or I would place my bet on the dark elves having a good healing class. Over all, this class will be wanted for PVE just like any healer would be.

This was written long ago, before closed beta was even out. It's based on speculation. It will be updated soon enough.
