    Not sure if you're still going to read this since your post is old now but as a new Shaman player myself I will leave my tips.

    1) Practice her feints they are good to mess up your opponents specially with her fast twin lights, you can mess up an opponent nicely.

    2) Practice her heavy cancel into bleed, that's a very good tool to make an opponent nervous even when you're not going to use Predator's Mercy.

    3) Use Predator's Hunger to get guaranteed lights if you're fast enough, you can feint her Predator's Hunger too which is a good way to mess up your opponent into doing mistakes, you can also act like you're going to do Predator's Hunger by feinting it but then do Wild Cat's Rage instead which can be difficult to react to if the opponent is expecting a Predator's Hunger instead.

    4) Don't be greedy for Predator's Mercy, it's not a game changer unlike people exaggerate, it can be good when you're low on health and want to recover a good chunk of health while doing good damage too but use it only when you're sure that you can do that, you can do a feints or two to confuse the opponent, don't leap from a mile away otherwise the opponent can simply dodge you, a good way to get a guaranteed PM is to get close to opponent to make him/her do an attack but as soon as you see the attack animation starting, back dash and do your PM, it's a high priority attack so it's gonna override your opponent's attack and since they will be performing an attack, they won't be able to dodge it.

    5) If you miss Predator's Mercy then you can follow up with a Wild Cat's Rage however opponents with good reflexes can block that too.

    6) Improve your reflexes with Wild Cat's Swiftness, it's a very good tool to avoid many unblockables and heavies but be weary of the guard breaks.

    7) Zone cancel into bleed is another good way to get bleed.

    8) Heavy cancel into guard break is a good tool against turtles who are good with counter guard break.

    9) Shaman is a good catcher, whenever you see a running opponent, don't hesitate to do a Wild Cat's Rage on him/her, that's a solid way to catch them.

    That's all I can think right now, Shaman is a fun to play hero as long as you play her creatively but as soon as you start spamming one move over and over like Wild Cat's Rage then she gets reckt easily so in my opinion the key is to be unpredictable and take advantage of her speed.
