Ahead of its big stream on Friday, Pantheon’s newsletter today is bursting with details on the Shaman class, which is due for its reveal during the event. The class is going to sound familiar to EverQuest franchise players for sure, given that it’s a support class that wields heals, boons, curses, and hexes.

“Shamans, through their abilities to commune with ancient spirits, harness powerful mystical energies that can help heal and bolster their allies, while debilitating and weakening their foes. Although many consider the class to be one of support, a well-played shaman can serve as a primary healer for the right group. While their damage output may not be as high as a dedicated DPS class, the shaman features a spirit companion that helps bridge that gap and make them a well-rounded and welcome addition to any party. Shaman are chainmail and leather wearers who can wield maces, spears and staves and have the ability to equip shields. […] The shaman is initially slated to be available to players who chose the Archai, Ogre or Skar races, however that list may expand as development progresses.”

There’s also a story for those of you more invested in the lore of the game. Check back on Friday at 2 p.m. EST to watch the stream with us!
