Wow, this thread never even got one reply? Ahhh!
I just followed a link from a related thread.
I actually really like some of these ideas. Having these spirits with territorial effects that mean other spirits can be brought up is cool.
This profession seems to very based around Melandru and nature, more so than ranger, which I like. It's a good idea, and though some of the the skills are maybe a bit overpowered or similar to already existing ones, I have a good opinion of it.
Well other people, let's comment on it!
PS: I'm putting this with other shaman idea on my Chapter 2 Summary of Ideas thread.

Another Shaman?.. guess they are starting to get popular....

Very good. Nicely Pack. Some good and original skills, like Monstrous Seed and the Spirit attributes. Need to make that Summon Spirit from Corpse a bit more differnt thought, else will be too much like another Necro, with Corpse having too much use. And need to add a skill call Casper to go with that. Personally, I would make summon skill another class, but that is just my perosnal opinion. Read the Druid and the other Shaman, might get a good combination of them.

I do think that this has more to offer than other shaman ideas, but I think one of the main characteristics of a shaman that needs to be brought into the game would be shapeshifting. I think that if they do bring a shaman class (or druid) into the game they need to add in some shapeshifting enchantments. I said this in another post that I will say here again. I also think that these enchantments should be based off of adrenaline (something that is not incorporated into any other class) and they could give 1 health regen instead of energy regen. Then, if you don't do damage withing say 30seconds, it ends. And then you have something that is COMPLETELY different from any other class that I think would greatly add to the game and connectivity between classes.
