Shaman Or Mage In A Group?

Which class would be more helpful when your playing with an assassin and an archer?

 

A warrior can increase the group strength and damage resistance. Mages can heal better than shamans. Shamans can heal less than mages but they can heal much bigger areas for straight 20 seconds.

 

Personally, I'd say mage, burst heals are probably more important than the steady heals of shamans

Shaman can be more crowd control and can increase party damage when in aura though.

Mage: more healing
Shaman: more utility/support

 

Also, if I remember correctly, warscream nullifies the damage boost shaman gives to allies, so there's that to consider.

 

wait what? why?
so never warscream when with a shaman?

 

I would say personally mage, but I am a mage lover and biased towards it...

Objectively speaking though:
Shaman --> Much better at controlling large amounts of enemies and buffing a large area and many players
Mage ---> Good for duo or trio oder even squad groups, good aoe damage and more burst heal orientated

So because you said you are with an archer and assasin, I would highly recommend you to play mage and avoid shaman in this situation due to low heals and being very squishy.

If you had maybe a warrior and archer a shaman would have been a better fit.

If I remember correctly it's bugged so that it overwrites all other damage buffs.

 

Totem aura overrides war scream

As does assassin vanish boosts

Saviour's overrides all

Basically: Shaman + warrior is just fine in a team

 

I thought it was bugged so that warrior still overrides all other buffs.

 

In-game I got the potion buff from totem

I didn’t test damages, but I assume since I had the totem aura buff and the war scream buff went away from my inventory screen that shaman totem overrides war scream
