Bear Shaman tips?

Claws of the Eagle will be great if you have a hard hitting barbarian.

Does your party have any ranged attackers. The ranger is martial, so if your party is all primal, i wonder if the ranger is disqualified. Any wizards or sorcerors? Anyone with a good ranged basic attack? Because I think the Eagle Shaman's Spirit Opportunity Action Power is awesome. Instead of dishing out healing, you dish out a free ranged basic attack: Ranger in the party with a Great Bow: Ouch. Or a Sorceror with Dragonfrost pushing offenders around as an OpAction! This gives you a true blue OpAttack in so far as damage output, which is what you are considering with your melee training and your totemic spear. I would stay out of combat if I was you. All the better for your team if your not wasting Healing Spirit on yourself. As Far Away as possible, and difficult to get to... that is the best place on the battlefield for a Shaman.
 

Unfortunately, we have no Rangers.

Party make-up for those interested:

Hobgoblin Stormheart Warden
Bugbear Whirling Barbarian
Goblin Swarm Druid
Hobgoblin Swarm Druid
Hobgoblin Bear Shaman (me)
 


Evil is a point-of-view. To the Bullywugs we are slaughtering - yeah, we are the incarnations of evil. To our people, whom we are avenging the loss of our Goblin brothers and sisters by the vicious Bullywug raiders who have attacked our tribal territory - we are heroes.
 

One thing that came up in our game - If an enemy is adjacent to my Spirit and is pushed away, he is leaving an adjacent square and not shifting, thus can I use my Opportunity Action?

Opportunity Attacks <- note attacks here, say that forced movement don't provoke, but there is nothing about this in Opportunity Actions though. Opinions?

I think the blanket rule that forced movement doesn't provoke is the key rule here.
 

Awesome to hear that there is such a rule - where can I find that? Because the Opportunity Attack section clearly states it as a subheading under Opportunity Actions and I'd love to have a definite wording somewhere! :D

Cause it says so explicitly in Push, Pull, or Slide (p285)?

No Opportunity Actions: Forced movement does not provoke opportunity attacks or other opportunity actions.
