[QUOTE="Wik, post: 3204364, member: 40177"] Dragon Shaman!? Weak!? We have one in our group, and he's been the sole reason why the group is able to keep going. Keeping the group at half health really expands upon the group's ability to stay in the game, since we tend to lack a cleric (player shows up less than 50% of the time). Now that the group has a paladin, the Dragon Shaman isn't as useful, healing-wise, but the ability to bestow DR on the whole group is pretty damn useful. Once he gets the breath weapon (that's automatic damage every few rounds) he gets even better. I know that the shaman in our group is LOVING the class, and the rest of the group is very grateful for the healing and buff auras that he provides. He may not wind up being as good as the cleric in the buff deparment, but the fact that he can fight alongside the fighters, or (more often) provide flanking opportunities for the rogue, makes him a hero in the group's eyes.
