"shaman focusing in heavy armor receives the following benefits, each
dependant on wearing heavy armor (those made of stone, bone, and metal):
- Increased hit point regeneration.
- Minor reduction of damage caused by others; this improves as the shaman
faces multiple player opponents.
- Increased chance for armor deflection of an attack.
- Small chance for heavy armor to reduce the effectiveness of a stunning
attack; this is very rare unless the shaman is fighting multiple player
opponents."
