What is a Draenei shaman?

A Draenei shaman is a playable class and race combination in the World of Warcraft game. The Draenei, which means exiled ones, were originally Eredar from the planet Argus.

The shaman class allows the Draenei race to do three things in the magic class, heal, offensive spell casting and melee damage dealing. The character can only specialize in one of those three options. The shaman class was originally only available to the Horde side of the game to balance out the paladin available to the Alliance. The Draenei make the shaman's available to the alliance, but is balanced with a Blood Elf paladin available to the Horde.
