What is Visionary's Unity (Shaman)?

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=51782

What does that even mean? When is it used? Who am I? What's this rash caused by? Can I use Visionary's Unity to cure it? Will my pet like it?

It puts a buff on yourself. When you use a DD spell it has a chance to proc swarmpets on your target, each swarmpet takes some of your mana. Lookup up Pack of spells e.g: zam link

Short answer: buff, dd, shaman, no, no, yes

Also works on DoT spells...Works on any damage spells.

It is also smart enough to attack target's target if you use a nuke from the Frost Gift line.

Good stuff, thanks for the info guys. Couldn't find any info on websites that made any sense.

Cheers.

More details here. Raidloot is great for looking this kinda stuff up:

Many classes have a Unity AA. SK Unity is a single touch cast of 4 self-buffs that SKs use. It is a convenience, and a big one, to get rezed and not need to switch spell sets to buff yourself. Extremely useful for SK.

For Shaman, it just casts your swarm pet self-buff. It is nice, and convenient, but not as useful as it is for other classes. It would be much nicer if cast Talisman on the shaman along with the pet buff but....

SK has the following... (probably the best unity of all classeS)
1: Cast: Highest Rank of Shroud of the Krellnakor
2: Cast: Highest Rank of Tylix's Horror
3: Cast: Highest Rank of Drape of the Magmaforged
4: Cast: Highest Rank of Remorseless Demeanor
5: Cast: Highest Rank of Helot Skin
6: Cast: Highest Rank of Helot Covenant
7: Cast: Highest Rank of Call of Nightfall
