Well I guess you’ll first have to decide on whether you want your pets to be your strong point (in which case shaman is heavily recommended), or if you want to focus more on other things and have a weaker pet more as a recastable distraction…which opens up several options for a 2nd mastery.
Got to agree with Tyr on the pet tanking, altrough some of the item pets(like the one from the tomb of Qaullogal or something) make more then up for it(it buffs u, it has aoe and flame aura and it also taunts!)
As for your 2nd mastery,i would reccomend Shaman, not only for the Brairthorn and the other buffs but also since u can make it as complex as u want, by sticking to the pets or adding some totems and Primal Strike to the mix.
And for a new player its not a bad thing to start with either, since it offers alot of survivability.
Yeah, that’s what I thought was meant. Just wish the actual off-hand had +%fire damage instead of vitality. I’ll probably still use empowered wyrmclaw for my build.
