Shattered Kingdoms

Fine, then make 3 sets of the spirit armor plzkthnx
Since so many, many people have access to it (unlike the religious armors, which have maybe 4 or 5 people vying for it?) half the mud is after that set.

just a symbol slot item with 2 buffs is cool with me. maybe a better rez type thing but a symbol slot would make me happy

I stopped reading this half-way through your list of what seemed like pointless changes...

You want to make the game more difficult for people to enjoy, is basically the vibe I was getting. There is a shaman/barb religion. It's called Pantheist, and you can RP wtfever you want.

Shaman is one of the funnest classes to RP atm, and one of the most powerful in PvE and group PvP.

And no, I don't mean FIST shamans, all you [REDACTED] losers who can't play a shaman without going Fist.

The totem idea is cool, just not a buff the class needs imo.

Voodoo doesn't need to be changed. Just completely remove it, and shamans would still be my second favorite class.

I actually agree with everything syn said. Shamans wouldn't be my second favorite class, but they'd be plenty strong enough without voodoo, and voodoo is pretty stupid.

Essentially that is how I started writing this thread: the idea of removing voodoo. But-- even though shaman would be fine without anything to replace it I generally don't like the idea of not suggesting a replacement skill or spell regardless.

The only thing this thread was really supposed to be about was the totem spell, but then my ideas, past and present cascaded out so I included them for feedback. I'm grateful for the constructive criticism.

Shamans are awesome.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of voodoo.

I wouldn't mind seeing a totem-like symbol being available to people who finish the pantheist quest.

That's about it.

I'd be fine if voodoo was removed. I'd also be fine with making spirit dolls wear on the symbol slot. Those changes wouldn't bother me. If we take voodoo out of the game we really should remove FS.

If I had to choose I'd rather keep FS over voodoo, but there should be a ZERO percent chance of someone who FS's to get IMM-rezzed, no matter the circumstances (Unless it was a bug or typo or something.) No matter how outnumbered you are, or how many people you kill, it needs to really be the FINAL strike. Like that crap with Caeserea? No way she should have gotten IMM-rezzed, her walk-in FSing the whole Crucible should have been the last living action of that character barring reincarnation.

Make it so, number one.
