What makes each class unique?

[vageta31]

Shamans are "a melee's best friend". Clerics have the best heal and HP buffs bar none, Druid's have some good buffs, DS and ports, but Shamans can make any melee do more DPS by both buffing the player and debuffing the mob. Shamans have a lot of utility and choices for playstyle. I love being a battleshaman while others like to kite like druids or root rot.

HP/AC buffs for durability
Resist spells(all 5 of them), along with levi, sow, invis, see invis, etc..
STA for even more hps
STR for more damage
DEX for more procs
AGI more ac/dodge if it actually worked on this server :P
Haste for, well you know.

Slow for allowing melee to take less damage
Incapacitate to reduce mob damage, and increase melee hit damage.
Malise for better chance of proc/spells to land
Regen combined with slow keeps melee from needing as many heals.

Add in some seriously nasty DoTs and a decent pet and you have some DPS capabilities.

Shaman/Monk is a beautiful combo as is Shaman/SK.
