Metin2 Shaman Guide: Doctrines, Skills, Weapons and Equipment

The Shaman is a magical class in Metin2. He uses spells, support skills and his own equipment such as bells, fans, armour and helmets. Depending on the doctrine, the Shaman plays differently: with dragon magic and buffs or with healing, lightning skills and support effects.

Summary: The Shaman has two doctrines: Dragon Power and Healing. Dragon Power uses offensive dragon skills and support buffs. Healing combines healing skills, lightning attacks and support effects. The Shaman uses bells and fans as weapons. When it comes to equipment, level, base values, armour, helmets, sockets, spirit stones, bonuses and upgrade level matter.

What is the Shaman?

The Shaman is a class with magical attacks and support skills. He can attack enemies with spells, strengthen fellow players or use healing effects.

Which skills are available depends on the chosen doctrine. Shamans can specialise in Dragon Power or Healing.

The Doctrines of the Shaman

The two doctrines should be considered separately, as they have different skills.

Dragon Power

Dragon Power combines magical attacks with support skills. The doctrine contains offensive dragon skills as well as buffs and defensive effects.

Healing

The Healing doctrine combines healing, lightning skills and support effects. It contains healing skills, offensive lightning attacks and abilities that can affect movement, spell speed or attack values.

Shaman Weapons

Shamans use two class-specific weapon types:

When choosing a weapon, factors include the required level, base values, possible bonuses and upgrade level.

Shaman Armour

Shamans wear their own class-specific armour. This armour increases defence and is bound to certain level ranges.

Important properties of Shaman armour are:

• required level
• defence value
• movement speed
• number of sockets
• fixed bonus values
• possible additional bonuses
• upgrade level
• possible further development

Early armour has lower requirements and fewer customisation options. Higher armour has stronger base values, more sockets and sometimes fixed bonus values.

Examples of Shaman Armour

The Cloth of the Moon is a high-level Shaman armour in the range 105 to 115. It has three sockets and fixed values such as magic resistance and skill resistance.

Shaman Helmets

Shamans can wear their own class-specific helmets. Helmets are a separate equipment slot and should be considered separately from armour.

For helmets, the required level, base values, possible bonuses and upgrade level are particularly important.

Sockets in Shaman Armour

Shaman armour can have sockets. Spirit stones can be inserted into these sockets.

Sockets are an additional improvement level. Spirit stones can provide armour with additional values.

Spirit Stones for Shaman Armour

Spirit stones can be inserted into empty sockets and improve the armour by the respective value of the stone.

When inserting a spirit stone, the attempt may fail. Then a stone fragment remains in the socket. A stone fragment gives no active bonus and blocks the socket.

Bonuses on Shaman Armour

Besides base values, sockets and spirit stones, Shaman armour can have additional bonuses. These bonuses are a separate improvement level.

Fixed values of armour and additional bonuses are different properties. Armour can have its own fixed values and additionally carry further bonuses.

Upgrade and Development

Shaman equipment can be expanded through improvement levels. Certain values increase depending on the item.

With higher armour, an existing armour can also serve as the basis for new armour. There are two different processes:

• An existing armour is upgraded.
• An existing armour is further developed into new armour.

Depending on the process, bonuses and spirit stones can be treated differently. Therefore, before major upgrades, you should check which armour is used, which materials are needed and what happens to existing bonuses or spirit stones.

Important Basics for Shamans

For the Shaman, the interaction of several areas matters:

• chosen doctrine
• matching skills
• bell or fan as weapon
• suitable armour and helmet
• level requirements
• sockets and spirit stones
• fixed values and additional bonuses
• equipment upgrade level

A Shaman is not defined by a single skill or a single equipment value alone. What matters is the combination of class, doctrine, skills and equipment.
