Patron Shamans can choose a patron at level 15 after completing a patron quest. You can choose either Tuurgin, Rakuur, or Hayatet as your patron. Your patron grants you various abilities and your choice of a pet. Shamans along wit Necromancers are two primary pet classes in Vanguard.

  • Tuurgin - Tuurgin is the spirit of the Bear. Choosing this patron increases your strength and endurance and your ability to regain endurance and health. You also gain a Bear as a Pet. Tuurgin also grants the Shaman with some powerful debuffs. The Bear is a tank pet that can take punishment but only dish out low damage.
