Can shamans wield weapons???

No.

Maces, daggers, axes and fist weapons standard, but with talents they can wield 2hand axes and 2h maces. (Correct me if I'm forgetting any).

I just thought that was a really sad question.  I'd assume the person would own the game before asking questions or at least know something about it.  Shamans can use 1-handed maces and staves at creation, can train to use 1-hand axes, daggers, and fist weapons (just their main hand) and with a talent they can use 2-hand axes and maces (no training at weapon master required).

You thought the question was really sad?? WTF?? Why? The title is "Newbie" AND you said no?? Lots of help......

Pretty sure my shaman is using a 2-hand staff with no talents.

shaman can also wear armor, and shoes. they also walk, jump, sit, and do other stuff. they can even level up. WOW

Shaman's can also dance the dance of a thousand butterflies........yeah, that's all I got.

Just so you know, every race and class can use weapons, some more than others.
