How to Fight Against Shaman

As above, how to fight against Shaman is a part and parcel. Here we want to talk about it. See below:

First of all, you'll need to work hard in using the shaman's weakness against him in order to win. First of all, shamans have a smaller mana pool and mana expensive spells, but he gets a boost in mana regeneration from his mana spring totem. Make sure it never stays up for more than a tick.

You should keep this in mind that the shocks are one of the most powerful spell types in a Shaman's arsenal. However, they have shorter range than your spells, so keeping him at a distance is indispensable. Arcane Mages can rely on Slow for this, while Frost Mage can make use of Nova and chilling effects. Some Shamans will try to use their long-range spells against you, that's to say, lighting bolts ans in spite of the fact that it might hurt a bit, it will also deplete the Shaman's man quickly.

Polymorph comes in as one of your most important spells against Shamans, because they can't get out of it (their PvP trinket gets them out of stuns, but not polymorph effects). If you get a Shaman polymorphed before he can get to you and earth shock, you started off with the right foot and have a very good chance at this fight. Just go to max range now and charge up your biggest nuke. Once the Shaman is out of the sheep, use fast cast spells instead of another nuke, because he'll just earth shock you now and you want to lose as little casting time as possible.

But your counterspell is the winning spell against a Shaman, it requires a much more focused cast than with other classe. You'll want to close his nature spell tree, since if you do this you leave him defenseless. He won't be able to heal himself, put Grounding totem up, use Earth shock and so on. In effect all his vital spells are in Nature and if you get that one closed and get an instant nuke going you've won. If you have Blast Wave or Dragon's Breath, you can use it to daze him right before the counterspell wears off, in order to give you some more time to finish him.
