1. A religious leader of a tribal group. Shamans are known to practice sorcery for beneficial purposes.

2. A class in the MMORPG World of Warcraft, which is playable only by players of the Horde faction. Originaly from Warcraft III, the Shaman carries an arsenal of spells "borrowed" from other classes. Shamans can heal, nuke, snare, deal damage over time, and invoke their weapons with special abilities making them very proficient at melee combat as well. Being the most balanced class in the game, Shamans are often viewed as over-powered since they can easily cover their weaknesses with a given spell.

Get the Shaman mug.
An extremely overpowered class in world of warcraft. If you go near one you may instantly combust due to their constant spamming of their "I-win-button", frost shock. Avoidance of these vessels of mass destruction and power is strongly advised.
"That shaman has no skill, he friggin ran up to me and FS me off my mount!!"

It's fucking plural, much like sheep. Just because Blizzard calls them "Shamans" does not mean they're correct. Have some pride, use correct English.
My Arena 2v2 team went up against two Shaman the other day. They kicked our asses.

Get the shaman mug.
A word commonly referred to in World of Warcraft, a popular MMORPG. The class is disputed daily for being overpowered and unbalanced.
If one is to play this incredible game, it is highly encouraged to avoid a Shaman at all costs.
"Nerf shamans!"
"How come Shamans get better heals than Paladins?"
