Shattered Kingdoms

Magic is weak in certain areas.

Not all spirits are contained to just emptions, there are plenty that can speak.

I had a priest. Shaman are more fun.

Yea shamans are more fun. More versatile. I miss my shaman.

Shamans definitely don't need to be more independent. They're one of the best classes in the game, hands down.

I think they can kill most classes with little fear of dying esp one on one.

Technically speaking, yes, I agree. Shamans are one of the best classes.

The problem is, shamans are not useful to the rest of the game, at all, outside of SA vials.

There is literally not a situation where you'd ever go "wish we had a shaman now, instead of a priest". Or if you want to go the 'tank shaman' route, you'd prefer a mercenary. The one exception is maybe a Fist Shaman, because they can basically fill in as melee damage.

Shaman is an AMAZING class. My second favorite. But with the reduced playerbase, you're basically screwing over everybody else on the game if you make one instead of a priest.

I feel like Shamans should have gotten locate when Paladins/Hellions/Necromancers got enchant/consecrate. It doesn't really change the "power level" of the class, it just increases their utility and value to the other people on the game.
