Shattered Kingdoms

I stand by my point. Trade out Aphrominas for a well-equipped and buffed merc/barb in that fight and you lose, because you can't spam quaff heal.

More people(that aren't complete newbs e.g. Asraya) need to play shamans. =/

My most recent shaman made it to Champ4 and like 400 hours, never learned voodoo. =O

Grandmaster shaman's voodoo without a doll can kill up to non-magic resistant races, grandmaster hellion's hitpoints equivalent classes in one cast, any place, any time. (Yes, I witnessed this in first person)

It is extremely, extremely, extremely overpowered.

Please don't get into the topic about what the shaman class needs and what speed of leveling it may have. That is another topic. This is about the voodoo spell and the spell alone.

For such spell to exist in the game, it is not enjoyable for anyone.

What is to stop an absolutely naked shaman to simply attempt to voodoo to kill every now and then with nothing to lose? Does that not put so much hold onto anyone else's game time because they have to be so paranoid and prepared in case of a 'real' hit?

Why is this spell still in the game? Dulrik?

The spell it self has been raped more times over than it has raped players.

Leave it as it is and send improper use of it to imms. All powerful spell use should be supervised by imms, as final strike is - just not so directly of course (or perhaps? hmm)

Min, a naked gnome full mana trains shamans can't kill with one voodoo any decent sorc or necro(not magic resistant but with decent CON and generally HP pool and basic buffs that are easy for them to have).

4 naked shamans on the other hand(regardless of their mana trains) can kill even a d0rf barb with max HP trains by chain-voodoo.

The best I've managed as Golg with all my elite mana suit(+73 ME I think - and quite hard to collect it) was to get lvl 48 Lachrym(sp? Konge's helf merc) to awful condition(about 5% if I remember right). With the same suit I did a test against an elf paladin(sanc/pro up) and barely did 35%. That's pretty much the most and less powerful voodoo data that I had.

I'm pretty sure if I had 0 mana from my suit I couldn't drop Ghent for example(he was a piece of cake though when I had my suit).

So the tactic still remains the same. Gank the shaman(you or your allies), grab his suit/dolls, laugh at his powerless voodoo afterwards.

Don't take the dollies!

Voodoo is hands down the most [REDACTED] spell in all of SK.

Detect poison

Final strike.

Dunno why voodoo is always cried about...

Cleave can 1 hit
DBS can 1 hit
Finger Of Death can 1 hit
Final strike 1 hits everyone

None of those takes skills or time...

Voodoo you actually gotta get dolls and stuff, and a nice suit with much ME for you to actually one hit them, and it also makes them ez to gate to and shows where they are at does it not?
