The WoW Shaman is one of the more complicated classes to learn how to master, but it can also be amongst the most rewarding. It is also an extremely versatile class, often hailed as a great healer but also an effective ranged damage dealer and support class.
The WoW shaman is unique for a number of reasons but most notably because they use totems for buffs and part buffs rather than spells which are cast directly on themselves and others. The only disadvantage is that these totems can easily be destroyed under most circumstances.
Elemental shamans are primarily concerned with putting out great amounts of ranged damage. Investing some talent points in this tree will dramatically increase the power of your offensive spells, their critical strike chances and the mana cost of them. Elemental shamans are almost on par with mages and warlocks when it comes to raw damage output, providing they have the right set of gear.
Restoration shamans are the most common once the level cap has been reached because there is always a strong demand for healing classes. Restoration shamans who take the correct talents from this tree can make for particularly good healers so you should have no problems finding a space in raiding guilds and groups.
Shamans do have a steep learning curve due to their relatively complicated set of talents but they can also be a very rewarding class to play and they are no longer just limited to Horde players as they used to be.
The WoW shaman, while originally limited only to horde players are now playable by Dranei on the Alliance side, so everyone, regardless of their factions, can now enjoy playing this amazing class. It is important however to realize that playing a shaman is generally not a good choice as your first character since they are quite complicated to learn effectively to begin with.
