Shamans need some love too.

They have a forgotten wave spell, Mortal Melody (their 'musical wave' instant spell). Its damage is good for a wave, but the problem is that the wave only deals damage 2 square meters in front of the caster, which makes it practically useless for a mage. Of course, increasing cooldown from an instant spell to 5 up to 10 seconds.

Wave spell as it is today:





Proposed change:

Desolation shouldnt never be gone.. Also all class should have new habilities..

Btw, nice to see that pets now will have skills as well.. its need to be encrease to help on pvp/hunt..

Hello everybody
Srry for not posting before, i've been out all day long, couldn't reply before

I only read the designed changes and ideas... Here's my opnion:

I dont enjoy much the nerfs because many players had paid to change their classes, and lvling with less exp then before is very unpleasent, i can understand it, but still dont like the idea

In fact we have a lack between classes, so this is I have in mind:

First, I've posted before an idea for adding reflect dmg in paladin because of many beneficts, but got no answer on it. I understand for a fast change its not viable, in that case, i think a best aoe on paladin like some players said here is a good alternative but for while..

The best way I see to solve 2 problems (paladins and shaman) is adding some monsters that hits really hard, making possible only for high lvl paladins solo hunt with a huge exp per monster (balancing the lack of aoe dmg) and making possible for barbarians only hunt with a shaman together, making both (shamans and paladins) useful again.
And I understand that new monsters arent the focus now, but u could improve the blockness of paladin aiming on this new monsters, and buffing shamans dmg somehow for hunting while the new monsters dont come, and being useful on the begining of the new server aswell

For the first part of the balancing, i agree with King Healer's ideas, but still focusing on a second part

This way no class needs to be nerfed, and no extraordinary changes needs to be done

The only thing I would like to really highlight is the need of removing the life steal nerf on Pyro.. In my opnion this is responsible for like 90% of his unefectiveness nowaday, and I strongly agree with the radial dmg buff, and that in my opnion still could be 100% of the dmg all around inferno

Srry for the long text, but i hope i've explained well.. Im open for discussions and further explanation

Thx u all

And complementing my previous post.. I didnt gave any Rangers idea because I've never played them, so I think mynideas wouldnt agregate well, I trust the community ideas, better rangers players then me!

Other benefit from my previous post is that we could have new contents like quests or bosses that could insta kill any classes but Paladins with Shaman support, making then necessary for the comunity again

That ideas only puts every class in their places, paladins as tanks, barbs as solo / aoe hunters, shamans as main supports and others as shooters

I forgot about the other completely useless shaman spell lol. A higher cd wave would be cool to see added in place of that.

It's very kind of you, I'm not completely sure of that to be honest , but maybe I'm the only one who is trying to do some maths ?

Speaking of maths, I may have to take my words back here : it seems complicated to find a convenient cooldown for my idea on Holy Sword (it needs to be pretty long coz very specific distance aspect, need to be short if we want add decent useful AoE).

Here is the solution : do it with Shield Slam !! (or merge it with Desolation if you prefer, no need to create a "new" spell in urgency).

My recommandation :
- Buff cleave at least 25% (to at least cancel unjustified 20% nerf of last year : 1/0,8=1,25)
- Keep Shield Slam the same on aimed target (and 6 sec cooldown untouched), and add to it 60% pve only damage on each 3x3 tiles *around player*.

I made calculations with my char, this should raise my dps against a box around 40% (to be tested ofc)(feel free to ask for detailled numbers). Roughly, it has the same effect as buffing Sweeping Swipe damage by 70%, but with more interesting gameplay when you have to rotate aimed target instead of just spamming unaimed spell.

Some may find 40% overall buff is too much, but starting from actual roughly 1/2 ratio (pala vs barb), it would push pala at 70% of barb (1,4/2), and barb at 143% of pala (2/1,4). Very decent imho.

And concerning Holy Sword, I would rework it a bit to help both with boss/elite, and also to kill running mobs easier (just think my actual lvl 720 Holy Sword may kill a running icy terror, but must often don't by lack of damage !!) :
- cooldown 12s (perfect for a good spell rotation)
- add pve only DoT damage (lets say 6 hit of 10% each second)
- add pve only armor debuff during 8 sec (to insure 5 hits) or 7 sec (4 hits)
We obtain a very original interesting spell, more efficient against running mobs and together against boss/elite


All those together would give pala a decent AoE, and also help with single target (remember actual paladin is bad in BOTH xd).

Please also note that increasing Shield Slam role in gameplay is very coherent with the existence of its special talent.

Dont nerf good classes
Buff the weaker classes

Warlock and barb dont need nerfs
Rangers/paladin/shaman(shit) need good buffs.

Its simple, dont complicate.

Hear the good buff suggestions of community.
And thats it.


You are trying to rebalance just because the seasonal is coming, while all of us were asking for rebalance all of these months. You have to look with more passion who plays on permanent servers.

Trying to get a gm to answer anytime other than when a seasonal is on the way is impossible. A couple weeks into the seasonal and they will be silent again. They only open these seasonal servers to line their pockets. Permanent servers don’t make them any money because there is already an abundance of items and money in all those servers.. Nobody buying cards on those servers. This is a reoccurring issue. I couldn’t imagine trying to play a permanent server. Good luck getting any changes after this server starts!

Honestly, I think most idea's stated above could work!

IMO shaman should get a wave spell aswell what will deal dmg to the monsters and the same dmg will heal the partymemeber. TO be usefull aswell besides just standing there and press healfriend.

Perhaps we can try to see what would happen if rangers bow's atk are allinged with barbs? Since they lack the current AEO meta they should be compensated in some sort imo.
