| + | '''''World of Warcraft: Volume 3''''' is the third hardcover compilation of the ''[[World of Warcraft: The Comic|World of Warcraft]]'' comic series. It contains the following issues: |
||
| − | Under the leadership of [[Thrall]], the [[Orc]]s have rediscovered their ancient [[Shamanism|Shamanistic]] traditions. In an attempt to rid the Horde of its demonic corruption, Thrall banned the use of [[Warlock]] magic and [[necromancy]]. Now, all Orc magic users practice Shaman magic which draws its power from the natural world and the elements. |

||
| + | *Issue 16 - ''[[Threat!]]'' |
||
| − | The Orc Shaman is one of the most powerful spellcasters besides the [[Human]] [[Sorceress (Warcraft III)|Sorceress]]. The Shaman is powerful because of his [[#Bloodlust (Autocast)|Bloodlust]] ability mainly. Shamans can Bloodlust any friendly organic unit, including allied units, Orc units, and themselves. They cannot Bloodlust mechanical or magic-immune units like [[Demolisher (Warcraft III)|Demolisher]]s and [[Dryad (Warcraft III)|Dryad]]s. You can further enhance this damage with [[Hero unit|Heroes]] and a [[Kodo Beast (Warcraft III)|Kodo Beast]]. Shamans can also slow escaping enemy units with [[#Purge|Purge]] and wreak havoc with [[#Lightning Shield|Lightning Shield]] on shadowmelded or tightly packed groups of enemy units. There are several methods of using Shamans. Many players build [[Grunt (Warcraft III)|Grunt]]s then work up to Shamans and use the two together. Shamans are also good when used with [[Wind Rider (Warcraft III)|Wind Rider]]s, or with [[Tauren (Warcraft III)|Tauren]], or with both. |

| − | Like in [[Warcraft II]], Bloodlust is one of the uber spells in the game. Orc players should almost always try to build up to Bloodlust because it can greatly enhance their [[Grunt (Warcraft III)|Grunt]]s, [[Tauren (Warcraft III)|Tauren]], or [[Wind Rider (Warcraft III)|Wind Rider]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It's best to turn off the autocasting of Bloodlust when you don't need it. That way your Shaman will have built up Mana for Bloodlust, Purge, and Lightning Shield. |
