After last patch AM got
1)doubled healing from 13pt Isha
2)3pt(!!!!) dps path tactic which provides better aoe than sham's 13pt DWiC (simply more dmg and more range, no CD also) and in the same time aoe dot which reduces enemy dmg and crit by 5% (instacast 9 sec duration with 5 sec cd). Sham has 240 toughness, 150 morale singletarget debuff with 2 sec cast at 11 pt.
3)11pt dps path tactic which double DPS of laser, so for now AM has better burst than sham
Moreover
1)am has striketrough tactic
2)am Healdebuff is 10 sec cd, shams 20 (now they both could be aoe cleansed, so that argument worth nothing )
3)isha am still got better ap management than mork sham
4) sham int stealing dot is still isolated in da green path, which is now barely worth investing points
5) new slayers spellbraker significantly lower efficiency of healing sham
am i missing something or?
PS gobbo racial tactics wont kill enemies or heal allies for you sadly

People should really stop making whine threads like these. Shaman racial tactics is what gives them a defensive edge over AM. In small scale you can rather easily train an AM down, but you have practically no chance against a shaman. For Warband play you have an unique AoE morale pump and the same two AoE heals as the AM.

I feel DWiC needs its range increased to 100ft and cd removal added to one of its tactics, ere we go again seems like the best option. Yes you get synergy through cd reducers but AMs tactic doesnt require that.

As a lvl 67 AM I would say that shamans are better healers and AMs are better dps
Shaman is just amazing healer, with must have buff (tougness), CC, 2 hots, spectacular kite capability and fantastic utility (AP drain, debuffs)!
I think that that shamans are (subjectively) best heals for small RvR kite groups and top teir for everything else. Thats why Im lvling a shaman right now and having a blast while healing!

Not really, too many other good tactics to pick.

Years passing by, but nothing changing in this situation.
