World ✧ Class Idea ✧ - The Shaman - Now In The Game, But Only By Name

none of these spells gives mobility
No mobility = flying (seen in assassin vanish bc ppl can't wait for T3 vanish)

 

Flying = Ban

Besides, there's always Horses that people can spend on at Ternaves to level up the speed of them.

 

Escape = Totem Call
Approach = Root Frenzy/Totem Call
Movement Speed = Rain Dance (Yes, I know it's far off. But unlike Vanish, it doesn't drain Mana at an alarming rate.)
Flying = Against the rules, and gets you banned.

It should also be noted that people would most likely have an idea as to how Assassin works before they even unlock the Shaman at 120 total levels.

 

ppl still do it .-.

 

Only the idiots use fly and have no regard for the law.

 

you mean most ppl that get banned?

 

Bumping into things.

 

Bumping for #TeamShaman

 

I think it's a great class and I would play if I didn't like the archer so much.

 

Bumping for class.

 

+1 Supporter

 

Bumping for class. Also, why must a lot of people focus on Selvut's Soldier thread? Just because it's popular does not mean you can keep gaping at it. Sure Selvut has a really good class suggestion, but the only reason why is because it was the ONLY good class suggestion ever since September up until April when Haxii submitted his Shaman idea, and that's a really good suggestion too!

What I'm trying to say, to everyone and to Selvut, is that you should give this thread, and any other good class suggestions, a chance to be looked at and reviewed just as much as the Soldier. I'm looking at you @CheesePrince13. I saw that you gave your thoughts on Selvut's Soldier idea and about 20 minutes later, you just put "+1 Supporter" on this thread. No thoughts, just +1. What. The. Hell.

 

It seems the basic stats (Bars and stuff) seem a bit overpowered and a bit misleading

 

Oh that's not any fault of Haxii or this thread. When it comes to games, I -personally- enjoy a sense of high mobility and freedom. That's why my main class is a Warrior. I'm totally free to fling myself all over the map. I really enjoy the concept of the Shaman class and the way they suggest it be implemented, it's just that my personal preference is mobility. This class, while a great concept, seemingly substitutes its mobility spell for a spell that disrupts its enemies' mobility instead. I think that this is a great change, it's just that, due to personal preference, the aforementioned Soldier resonates with me a bit more due to most of its abilities having some sort of movement in them.
Both classes are outstanding suggestions, and anyone can see the amount of time and thought that was dedicated to both of them. I respect that effort, which was why I didn't drag my personal preference into this thread. Just because I prefer a more mobile kit doesn't mean I can't see the time and effort that was put into this suggestion, nor the mass amount of supporters and the high approval rate it has.
So don't take my reviews on the Soldier class with any offense, that class just really fits my personal preferences due to its design. The Shaman suggestion doesn't fit my personal preference as well, buts it's a good, well-thought out design of a cool concept, and I respect that.
Didn't mean to upset anyone or start anything. Sorry about that XD


Edit: Is that enough reviewing? :p

 

It's ok if you're personal preference is mobility. The Shaman basically manipulates enemy encounters to compensate the lack of mobility in the early levels. Sorry that I didn't know you had a personal preference.

 

Nah, I don't post too much on the forums and not that many people know me personally. So that's unavoidable. As for the enemy manipulation, I understand that the class compensates for an immobile kit by having the ability to control encounters and disrupt the enemy, that's why I think it's a cool suggestion despite my preferences. There have been countless suggestions of Shaman and Necromancer that all feel way too similar, and this suggestion has found a way to make itself feel different, as well as have a playstyle of its own. I respect that creativity and effort, so I support it wholeheartedly, even if it doesn't appeal to my personal tastes.

 

As a wise man once said: "To each his own."

 

Bumping once more for class.

 

Bumping for class. (again)

 

Bumping it along, inch by inch. Get ready to think of more item names. I'll be on hand to help!
