Role playing a pandaren enhancement shaman?
Monks use their own spirit energy, but shamans get theirs from elemental spirts. Kind of baffling myself aha.
No one says you can’t draw from multiple different sources of energy.
Take a High Elf who might have spent 200 years practicing as a mage; then learnt some Fel magic under Kael’Thas’s reign as a Blood Elf, and then finally learnt Void Magic as he went together with Umbric’s little expedition later.
That said, whether trying to combine said different magics is a good thing is an entirely different matter.
There’s a reason ‘crossing the beams’ is heavily discourged in the mage communities.
I am not going to tell Pandaren how to be Pandaren,
but on the enhancement shaman (as I do with other classes), I look at the spell descriptions, and try to shape my RP around that.
The name enhancement shaman suggests to me that these shaman enhance their combat with elemental magic, although they have some purely elemental spells as well.
I see them as a “hybrid” melee/caster class, but if I remember correctly, most of the enhancement spells have a short range, so I don’t consider enhancement shaman ‘ranged DPS’ (not that I’d call it that in RP, but it sort of places these shaman in a melee category, combat-wise).
I may have made both of us more confused.
Sorry to intrude on a shaman thread like this, but can you quickly explain what crossing the beams means? As an aspiring mage, I feel I should probably know.
Every magic in wow is incompatible with eatchother.
They require different ways to use.
The light for example require’s you to believe your cause is just.
It doesnt need to be just but you have to believe it is.
That is why zealots can wield the light alot easier.
They dont doubt there cause is just.
Likewise if you start doubting your control over light magic starts to fail.
Arcane require’s you to draw on the energie of the universe.
Shaping and bending it to your will.
It takes alot of time to learn how.
Fel require sacrific of life and soul.
It corrupts, and destroy’s.
It takes alot and give alot in return.
Nature require’s a certian mindset, A balance point of view.
It give and it takes.
Druidism is one of the hardest craft to master because it require’s you see all things as part of nature, life, death, birth, pain, suffering, love, kindness.
Not a single thing is more important then the other.
This is why it is so hard to master.
It require’s you to not value one thing over the other.
And very few beings can do that.
Then there is the void.
Mind control, insanity, lifedraining.
The use of void magic is by far the most dangerous of all magic.
As it actively tries to drive its wielders insane.
Yet for those who can handle the madding wishpers the void offers secrets mortals are not ment to know.
Monks are less magic and more being aware of how to get the most out of there body, Stuff like pressure points and how the energie’s of your body(known as chi) flow.
Shaman pretty much ask the elements for a favor and the elements do what is asked.
The shaman give’s them spirit energie in return.
I dont know what spirit energie is.

Void can actually be combined with almost anything.
See all the different classes void elves can be? Those are all compatible with the void, because their passive racial trait is them basically turning all voidy to enhance their already existing non void related abilities.
Also worth mentioning I believe shadow and void should be two different things.
They’re similar, but not the same. Void is far more potent. Look at shadow priests using a distinguished void and shadow form.
