Description
Shaman are a magic-using class and one of the few classes that are able to use red magic. Shaman excel at enraging and getting an enemy's attention. Shaman have good Magic Attack and Magic Defense, making them good against enemy magic-users. Shaman have low Attack, Defense, and Agility, so they are especially weak to physical weapons and enemies with good Defense as they cannot reliably dodge or tank hits or retaliate with physical attacks of their own.

Overview
Shaman are good to have in any campaign, and are best in battles against other magic-using classes because of their solid Magic Defense.

Rage Boost increases the Magic Attack of the Shaman, making the damage they deal greater.

Rage Induce is a risky skill that causes the enemy to go into a rage, making that enemy deal more damage but also lowering their success rate significantly. This is good for ensuring that an enemy will have a harder time of landing attacks on the Shaman and their allies.

Anger Magnet forces an enemy to focus their attacks only on the Shaman, perfect for distracting the enemy from other allies that are low on health or are susceptible to attack. It is a bit risky as the Shaman could take substantial amounts of punishment from the enemy, though the Shaman does gain an increase in Magic Attack and Magic Defense as a result of the skill.

Visceral Drain is an excellent skill against strong enemies as it lowers all of their stats quite significantly. This makes it great against bosses or enemy classes with high stats such as Paladins, Guardians, Pegasus Knights, or Sages.

Mad Dash increases a Shaman's Agility a bit, which can help them to better evade enemy attacks. It also increases their movement in combat, letting them get around more effectively.

Irritate is a skill most useful outside of battles, as it can cause NPCs to act irrationally and do things they normally would not do.

Over-Rage essentially inflicts Berserked on one enemy, causing the enemy to attack other enemies in a blind rage.
