Class Idea:shaman

Yes, I know many Shaman suggestions have been made, I'm here to make my addition.

The Shaman is an Offensive Class, with a bit of Support.
The Shaman's main weapon would be the staff.
I couldn't think of a better weapon idea, okay?
Basically, staffs typically have slow attack speeds and low damage.So why use one?
Because it's the only option as Shaman.

Besides, Shamans are Spell-Oriented.You typically will not be going melee as this class.
My idea for a Shaman is to have all 5 elements being used, as a Shaman is one with nature.
The Shaman's stats:
Damage:*****
Defence:*****
Range:*****
Spells:*****
Now, onto the spells.

Nice work! Looks like a lot of thought went into it :)

 

I like the amount of work that was put into this, but it sounds too similar to the Mage.
