Yes as shaman in this game are pure damage oriented mages as opposed to pixies healing crowd control stuff. There are normal mages in the viking classes they are just less picked because well vikings are all about the tanking and or power. 

Weapons are the typical assortment you can lose/gain weapons in the game. The typical set up is: Spears, Swords, Axes, Bows, Scimitars, Hammers, etc. As long as it's not too outlandish as things like Emei Piercers or the hook blades used by xiaolin monks. At this point in time we would have basic equipment maybe a little bit higher. Higher end weapons are heavily enchanted or well crafted weapons forged by the gods which is a driving aspect about pleasing them. 

Edit: items consist of healing potions, and or things like robes and climbing gear.
