Return of Reckoning

Alot of great info and guides out there. I see many recommendations to make a build for healing, but nothing really specific that would set them above. I'm good with that, but I have to wonder...Besides being really fun to play, whats the class defining trait of a Shaman. Seems like the Zealot and DoK are better healers, and they would be chosen first into groups or warbands. So what is the class defining ability that they bring to the table? They're green and spastic, which is what really defines them to me. I'm sorry, I just started playing again since the server started, and am not sure what mechanics have been "adjusted" for here.

You posted in the wrong category.

Class defining trait of Shaman is doing Usian Bolt impressions.

They also like to hang around the exit of Order Warcamps, often solo but also in small groups of 2-3 together

Instarez and warband aoe healing, utility with sticky feetz, and ap drain/debuffs
