Shaman Favoured Class Bonus


Advice


I've recently built a lvl4 Aasimar Shaman ([main]Mammoth/[wandering]Battle) with the Scion of Humanity racial trait. As such I'm taking the human Favoured Class bonus. But I'm unsure about what cleric spells are best to take for a primary combat/ secondary support based Shaman.

An earlier thread discussing this.

As it mentions, Divine Favor and Shield of Faith are classics, so may be the first ones you go for. Ray of Sickening may be useful (outside of the ones listed in the previous thread).


You can also use the Cleric list to get the same spell at lower spell level - Heal is a Cleric level 6 spell, but Shaman level 7. Similarly Wall of Stone is level 5 for Clerics but 6 for Shamen. Both are bread and butter spells, so getting them in a lower slot can be shiny.

Here are mine:
1 - Fallback Strategy
2 - Shield Other
3 - Invisibility Purge, Resist Energy: Communal
4 - Blessings of Fervor, Freedom of Movement
5 - Air Walk, Communal

I probably would have taken Divine Favor if I were ever going to take a swing. Watchful Eye is great if your god/campaign allows it.

If you want combat spells I like

1) Divine Favor, Shield of Faith
2) Grace, Align Weapon (you doing even have to prep it just take it so you can carry the spell when needed)
3) lots of good spells here but few stand out as melee specific. Communal versions of thing are good. Invisibility purge as has been suggested is good.
4) lots of combat stuff. Others that have not been suggested include Divine power, aura of doom, spiritual ally if you took spiritual guardian is a nice damage output boost flank buddy.
5) Righteous Might may be up your alley.
