Shaman
The most versatile: damage, healing and even tanking early dungeons.

Levelling
Enhancement is much better, with a reworked Storm Strike, and totems are easier to use. It is versatile and solid, but mana is still the weak point, and Elemental usually only pays off later.
Strengths
- Damage with shocks, Storm Strike and totems
- Lots of utility and Ghost Wolf at level 20
- Damage, healing and even tanking in early dungeons
Weaknesses
- Mana problems while levelling
- Many spells and totems to train (cost)
- Damage may fall behind near level 60
