Healer- Shaman

[Jrr_]

So we are doing healers at the moment and since shaman was a healer and I hear it needs a rework I guess we can do it now.

Tagging @0xNaomi because we need your input.

Changes:

• Totem radius, currently 5 blocks, increase to 7 blocks.
• Firestrike totem, Remove fireticks on fireballs shot.
• Remove Shockingstrike and eartheryfury.

Leave your thoughts below please and tell me on changes as I am no expert on shaman.

I was under the impression that shaman is a caster now. I agree there are things that are needed to be changed but we should focus on the actual healers first.

Shaman is nothing at the moment...Its in a severe need of a rework and based on that it could go either way.

If attribute points are sticking around, it would be nice to allow shaman to go either way through how a person allocates their points.

Very doable, but in order to do this either role would need to be viable, and for that to work shaman NEEDS more skills.

So wasn't the reason shock totem got scrapped that the lightning was insane worldwide? Since the sound is fixed we could always add this skill again.

Well one thing that Kainzo wants is scraping the melee skills. So like I said, we need more skills.

Shaman Skill: Ways of Nature (debatable) Grants all party members 15% more hp and youself 25% more hp, while giving you and party members a debuff of any beneficial magical skills. Warmup 3 seconds, CoolDown 1 min

Changes:

• Totem radius, currently 5 blocks, increase to 7 blocks.
• Firestrike totem, after testing with mobs it doesn't all ways hit the target and deals little damage making it very unreliable skill. Replacement- Fire charge, warmup 1.5 seconds, A targeted skill which shoots a powerful fire charge dealing 60 + 1.5 intellect damage.
• Make shockingstrike armour piercing.
• Increase range of shocking strike from 3 to 5 blocks.

Leave your thoughts below please and tell me on changes as I am no expert on shaman.

• Increase totem range
• Keep FireStrike Totem
  • Get rid of the fireticks. They are what cause the totem do sometimes not do damage and what cause it to be 'unreliable' (vanilla invulnerability ticks)
• Remove the melee skills
• Re-Add Shocking Totem

It probably needs a lot more changes than what has been listed like removing the heals, adding another new skill, etc.

I also think this should not be our priority. We said that we were going to focus on the healers, then warriors. Since we are transitioning Shaman to Caster we should wait until we are working on the Casters

Atm we need skills for shaman feel free to suggest any! I'd like to think of the class as a caster with buffs

Lets get the big question out of the way. @Kainzo should shaman be a support, a mage, or either depending on how you allocate attributes?

I'll await on changes till this is answered.

So these skills need to be removed, confirm?

• Shocking strke
• Earthenfury

Unless Kainzo changed his mind, YES!
