WoW Classic Shaman
The Shaman is a hybrid class in World of Warcraft that combines elemental magic and melee abilities. Shamans can use the elements of fire, earth, air and water. They deal damage with lightning and fire spells or heal allies. In groups, shamans provide support through totems, which grant various effects and play a major role in raids. In WoW Classic, the Shaman can only be played on the Horde side. Learn more about Shaman talents, builds, and professions in our WoW Classic Shaman overview.

Best Professions for Shamans in WoW Classic
Finding the best profession for your Shaman in WoW Classic will depend on your game style.
- For raiding and PvP Engineering is the profession that grants you the most advantages. If you want to do serious PvP or speedrunning raids, Engineering is a must.
- If you raid as an Elemental Shaman, Tailoring will help you with gearing in later phases with the set bonus from
Bloodvine Vest. - In WoW Classic Hardcore, Engineering and Alchemy are the best professions. Both professions allow you to escape from difficult situations and possibly avoid death. With Engineering, you can use grenades for stuns and gadgets like
Target Dummy. With Alchemy, you have access to utility potions and potions to increase your defensive and offensive stats. - In WoW Classic Era and WoW Classic Fresh, Resto Shamans don’t require a specific profession to min-max their character for raiding. If you lean more towards PvP, Engineering is one of the best professions you can have. Herbalism, Leatherworking, and Enchanting are popular alternatives if you are not into PvP or speedrunning raids.
Overall, the Shaman is a very flexible class in terms of professions. While other classes have very dominant profession choices raid leads might expect from them, a Shaman can freely pick depending on their personal preferences.
