    Hello!

    I know that there's already a thread on this one, but I didn't see any replies there, and I wanted to start a new discussion about this certain topic/class.

    Armor:
    Full leather (brown color/green color)

    Weapons:
    Iron sword "Shaman's blade"
    2-3 steak "Shaman's steak"


    This class uses a new mechanic. Totems/wards.
    These "wards" give certain players (team or enemy) in an area around the ward an effect.
    For example, "enemy team + weakness". This makes it so that you have to kill the shaman (Because they might have a totem that gives them strength). It would be a pretty big game changer because they can be essential for flag defense.



    Just like Necro and Engineer this class can't place it's structures everywhere.

    Totems:

    Totems Against enemy team:

    - Totem of Weakness. (Applies weakness I to enemy team) Radius = 5 blocks.
    - Totem of poison (Applies poison I to enemy team) Radius = 3 blocks.



    Totems for team:

    - Totem of Strength. (Applies strength I to team) Radius = 4 blocks.
    - Totem of Regeneration. (Applies Regeneration I to team) Radius = 2 blocks.

    Please give criticism and reasons why this should/shouldn't be a class.
    Thank you for reading.

    I think the idea is very nice and well thought out, but like @GoToBed said:
    Chemist sort of does this already. Trust me, I personally really like this idea, but yeah, just looks too much like another class. I rate 'creative' though :smile:

    Basically a weaker version of chemist, and most shamans that I can think of have staffs not sword. It could be a cool concept but lacks any sense of originality, -1

    This class just doesn't fit in with CTF. You are only able to take advantage of effects if you are next to your totem pole, a stationary object which, as shown by engineer turrets, just doesn't suit CTF. Generally, you will be moving around a lot unless you are defending in the flag room (and you can't place totems here anyway). As a result, this class wouldn't really fit in the game. Especially as, like said above, chemist does all this but better.

    As well as this, this class will be dreadfully UP. Excluding the totems, which as I said will have limited use, Shaman will be a Soldier with less steak, less armour, and no wall climbing ability. Even with the totems the class will be very weak, since the potion effects it gives are very minor potion effects. For some buffs:
    • Increase this class's armour. Considerably.
    • Give it a diamond sword at the very least, or else it just won't do much damage.
    • Totem of Weakness should give weakness III, in a radius of 8 blocks.
    • Totem of Poison should give poison II, in a radius of 8 blocks.
    • Totem of Strength should give strength II, in a radius of 5 blocks.
    • Totem of Regeneration should give regeneration III, in a radius of 8 blocks.
    As well as this, completely revamp how totems work, so they aren't stationary objects with little use in the game. I'd also suggest coming up with more interesting ideas for totem effects, since potion effects are generally pretty boring.

    Overall, -1.

    Instead of totems what about AoE? So, basically you are the totem and can select one of the multiple effects to give to players in a radius around you.
