Shamans are sure a lot of fun

I've tried all classes, but over the period of WoW's release and off/on past couple years...no class really ever stuck. I got a DK to 100, a Druid to 100...but I never found them that fun. Then I have a warlock at 94 (they are fun), a Mage to 90, a Priest to 56 and a Warrior at 100.

Only class I probably ever really stuck with is the Warrior.

I suck HORRIBLY as a DK.

I suck with a Rogue, so I never get past level 30 with them.

Paladins I used to be good at, but I suck now.

You see, in any game...I do horribly with any energy mechanic like Rogue has. I do horribly with a Rune system like Paladins/DK have. Paladins a bit different, but since they got changed I suck at them.

I do GREAT with mana or rage...anything else I suck at. I can't even play a cat druid, because it uses energy and I suck at that. No matter how many videos I watch or have real life friends who do WoW tournaments try to teach me...let me say this

*friend fries to teach me Rogue, gives up and tries DK*

*friend gets so pissed off at how much I suck, he turns off my monitor (not PC) and says "never play a rogue or DK again, I never seen someone so bad at it*

Though I showed him how good I was with my shaman and warlock (tougher classes) and he was surprised how well I did as a Shaman even though they are the worst class in the game right now. In raids, I was actually getting top 3 in DPS, and top 5 in heals (I went as a backup healer, since my friend wanted to see how I did in raids with him)

So even though shamans are worst class, I was still in the top 3 for DPS (I was going between 2 and 3 spot). I'd be even better at healing, but he just wanted to see how I did as a team and focus on mostly DPS. Next time he raids (once a month his guild raids, so not hardcore or anything) I'll see if I do good at healing (healing is most fun to me).

But even leveling a Shaman, starts off slow...but man, once I start getting abilities it gets so much better and easier. And at 100, I do great in raids. And I tried some PvP and didn't do too bad either. I wasn't the best at it, but I wasn't the worst at all in the battlegrounds I was doing. I die a lot to priests though, do pretty good against other classes...but priests I haven't learned to counter yet too well.

Really, I like shamans since they feel really unique to me. I love the totems, summoning elementals and all that. It reminds me of that technician class from Asheron's Call 2 who summoned turrets or the GW 2 engineer. But the shaman to me just does it better, I really like it a lot. Its just a lot of fun.

I spent since WoW's release never knowing what class to make as a main and so any time I hit 100 (well that is a WoD thing, before it was level 90 and whatever max level was before that.) I pretty much stopped for a month or a few months and then sign up to level again, and its funny...I NEVER once made a shaman because everyone always said they are the worst class in the game.

Go figure years later I finally make one, level him up to 100 and do amazing at it and have the most fun with them...guess I shouldn't go by what others say :P
