Earlygame Shaman

So i'm trying out some classes, and shaman seems kinda cool. I wanna try acolyte bcuz it seems interesting but apparently it is hard to play. How difficult is it to play earlygame?

 

Shaman is definitely harder than the other classes but it's still not that difficult.
For playing it early game you should mainly focus on increasing health since it's the most glassy class, but it's also the best crowd control class and by far the best for grinding mobs, so you should be able to level up pretty quickly.
I would not really recommend acolyte early on since most of it's early abilities only really become good once you have other abilities from later on in the skill tree, I would only really start playing acolyte at around midgame (lvl 40+) so you can atleast make somewhat of a build.

 

Acolyte only really become viable once you get rebound since you can actually heal, but I mainly used my shaman in grind spots so I am not sure how good it is against bosses
