CONS
Quite Weak at first
Ok survivability
Can’t take adds that well.
Heals are different. Might take some getting used to.

PVP
Very good pvp player.
Wanted in groups for HoTs

Overall mark
PVE:B
PVP:B+ - A

Outlook
I believe that the Bear Shaman is an excellent late game character. The bear shaman will be a wanted commodity come launch. With its excellent DPS, pretty good healing and the only healing class that can wear something higher than cloth. The Bear Shaman will most likely own face come launch.

Buffs

So far I found some consumable buffs such as Food and Potion buffs. Then there are the Super potion buffs which last for about a minute and restore health/stamina/mana in a much greater way.

So far for the Bear Shaman there are a few buffs however they are easy to maintain.

Skills//heals

The heal is sort of a cone effect.

Here are some of the heals//buffs in beta that I did not mention earlier.

Can be accessed through feats for bonus damage.

Thoughts on AoC
I believe this game is actually well done. It has a new combat system which might take getting used to. It is quite easy to pick up for those of you who are worried about not knowing what to do. The combo system makes killing mobs more fun. Perhaps the novelty will wear eventually; however for now I enjoy the combo system that AoC presents. The quest system is very easy to figure out.

Here is an example.

In conclusion I feel that this game is going to be fine. Sure some of the performance issues are bad. However some of these things are going to be fixed come launch as it is an older client. A lot of the unknown will be a strong allure for many players. I hope you enjoyed my review, see you on the battlefield.
