They aren't as good for C'tis as they are for non-nature nations (when you find indie shamans).
Their sacred attribute makes them somewhat mediocre researchers.
They do shine in two areas.
One is they can commune and make relief/mass protection squads. Of course, I like Miasma the best so that's using 440 gold instead of a 220 gold marshmaster
The other is that they can arcane probe for astral sites and then make some handy 1S items, like AMA and luck ammy (in addition to the arcane probing)
For C'tis, they aren't great but they aren't useless, imo, kind of run of the mill. For nations that can't get access to relief/mass protection, they are highly useful.
