Ten Ton Hammer: People have assumed that the Bear Shaman will eventually be able to take the form of an actual bear? Is this true? What kinds of advantages / disadvantages are inherent in this sort of transformation? Will it only last for a certain amount of time?
Evan: Although it may disappoint some, Bear Shaman will not actually take the physical form of a bear during gameplay. Instead, they channel spirits into various manifestations and aspects of the wilderness. These elements are harnessed in-game via three different types of buffs, "Spirit Totems," "Claw Totems," and "Manifestations." Of these three lines, one may only have a single of each running at any given time, with a handful of choices at the Bear Shaman's disposal.
For instance, when selecting a Claw Totem, the Bear Shaman could choose between the following types:
For instance, when selecting a Claw Totem, the Bear Shaman could choose between the following types:
- "Claws of Stone", which grants a chance of increasing the defenses of the Bear Shaman.
- "Claws of Corruption", which causes melee attacks to inflict additional poison and unholy damage whilst also cursing the target, causing others hitting that target to inflict additional damage as well.
- "Reaper Claws", increases melee damage whilst also having a chance to proc a bleeding wound on the target which can stack up to 3 times.
- "Claws of Life", which grants melee attacks by the Bear Shaman and his allies a chance to slightly heal their wounds.
Its a good read!

Nice.
Damn 20th of May seems like a 10 years from now =/
Gief AoC!!
Not too long to go now, the Bear Shaman appeals to the healer in me
I am having such a hard time trying to figure out what class to be and this is just making it even harder lol... But awesome info. Thanks Avery
they are finally getting to the casters...
class sounds like fun!
Yay this is the class I wanted to see!
Thanks AA
Dont think about it
when you get in AoC will feel really different what you can think from before...
Btw, I also like the bear shaman, is an original class, almost, all classes are, at least, slightly different from other games, cause the combat system is really different and they still in beta and can change LOTS of things and skills...
sounds like an exact copy of the WOW Shaman
Only similarity is the Shaman in the name.
