What would be really realistic is showing how much you have to whore yourself to get a nonpest room in south market <| sep |> I used to main a hunter and I really loved the versatility of the class but I just fell out of love with it over the last year . Now I am maining a shadow priest but my alt is a shaman . It is so much fun . I really like the shaman . It may be the honeymoon phase that I am still in but I would pick shaman over hunter in a heartbeat . You asked for pros and cons though so here are some that I thought of . Hunter aspect of the turtle remove snares and strong defensive cooldown , almost always a really strong spec for group content , but they have a reputation and I don ' t really care for the play style anymore . But that is completely subjective so kinda irrelevant Shaman heals if you need to . This is really nice if you want to try it out . Wind rush totem and lust . This can be a huge help with group content and it is super nice that you never have to do anything without lust . Shamans seem to always have a strong spec that you can use and the fact that you can off heal with it makes it really versatile . Finally shamans feel like they are getting a lot of love with class feel . Their animations are great and meaty . And they feel pretty well thought out . Both specs have strong aoe and you get to wield the freaking doom hammer ! !! If I wasn ' t having so much fun playing my shadow priest I would switch to shaman full time still might if they kill my class in the coming patch .
