Shaman is super versatile, has some wonderfully thematic race/deity combos, lots of interesting gear options to pursue, but also none of the gear is really ‘mandatory’ to hit 60. It does well whether as a twink or as a self-found toon and can find a role in any group while being a fine soloer or support to lower level toons.
Once 60 the game doesn’t stop, and there are plenty of options to pursue (beyond raiding).
The class is generally very forgiving, can be played active or passive, but equally can be really minmaxed and pushed to it’s limit.
It has it’s own tradeskill line and several racial tradeskill options.
The sheer versatility in play styles, philosophy, goals, etc gives it so much to offer almost any kind of player and can sate any mindset from the most humble to externalised egotist leads me to the conclusion it is the overall best all things considered, even if not quite the best at some/any specific thing.
