[CLASS] WoW Shaman - v1.0

[sterlinghurd]

DESCRIPTION
I'm working on a new class that is based on (or a complete ripoff of) the Shaman from World of Warcraft. Shaman are the spiritual leaders of their tribes and clans. They are masters of the elements, using spells and totems that enhance their abilities in battle while unleashing the fury of the elements upon their foes.

SUBMIT YOUR SCREENSHOTS
For some reason my pintscreen button only captures a black background while torchlight is open. If you guys could send me your best screenshots I'll post them here (with your name attached of course).

PATCH NOTES 1.0

• Various spelling errors.
• Fixed Water Shield so it properly increases with each level.
• Increased Lighting Shield attack speed.
• Doubled Bloodlust bonuses and duration.
• Doubled all summon durations.
• Buffed all Spirit bonuses.
• Increased Fire Elemental damage.
• Fixed elemental shields so now only one can be active at a time.
• Reduced Chain Lightning mana cost by half.
• Increased Lava Burst damage and removed cooldown.
• Other stuff I can't remember.

UPCOMING CHANGES

• Increase chain lightning damage to match ember lightning and increase mana cost slightly.
• Allow Stormstrike to leech life/mana.
• Remove least used spell and add a new one (I'm open for input here)
• Change Healing Wave to a heal over time spell. 30ish seconds of increased hp regen.
• Make Avenging Spirit only effect physical damage (must have put the wrong affix in).

COMPATABILITY
This mod will work with other class mods but you have to merge the charactercreate.layout file. Here is an example of a shaman/necro merge. Just copy and paste.

ART

1. Class portrait icon.
2. Intro screen art. The one that explains why the character has traveled to torchlight.
   
   PARTICLES
3. Bloodlust glowy hands.
   
   MODELS
4. If someone has the time it would be cool to have custom armor models for the shaman. I know it's a huge undertaking but I hope this mod can be a community effort. If we do get someone to do the custom armor models we will need textures and custom icons.
   
   BALANCE
5. Please download and play. I haven't been able to play through the whole game with him so there are very likely some balance issues. Let me know what needs nerfing and what needs buffing.
   
   GENERAL HELP
6. I'm going to be swamped for the next few weeks as finals and end of semester projects are coming up. If I could get someone to compile a list of reported bugs/balance issues that would help a lot.

[Azrael]

totems would be pretty easy to add

as a summon spell
just like if you summoned a mob with 0 walk/run speed
with a 30 sec duration and has a aura spell

o and a tip
the alchemists infuse
effect is in the alchemists animation file
just in case you wanted to see how they made it

[Corpsie]

I dont see much use for the Restoration tree, atleast in the direct wow sense of healing.

Could turn out to be a good class to play however.

[sterlinghurd]

Yeah that was what I was planning for the totems.

As far as resto goes, with torchlight you aren't committed to any one tree so I thought I'd put a bunch of defensive skills there to help with hardcore players.

[Kommunist]

I think it would be better if the totems were more like little flying "spirits" or something. Or some other way to enable them to follow you. It would get annoying re-casting totems every 10 ft.

[sterlinghurd]

Yeah it was a little annoying in WoW as well but I don't want them to be like a second aura. I'd rather have them be a powerful boost when you need them kind of like skeletal archers are supposed to be. Maybe I'll make it so you can only have one totem out at a time.

[RMJ]

haha great idea, simply awesome! more like this would be cool

[darwinjames]

More than one totem ok, if like in WoW you have that skill that removes the totem and gives you part of the mana cost back.

[sterlinghurd]

I can post what I have so far if anyone is interested in downloading it.

[ombra]

Nice, the shaman class was my favourite! Chain-Lightning pewpew. Good Job!

[Eljot]

one silly question - what do you need resto tree for? its hack and slash game - you dont need healing - you need MOAR PEW PEW

introducing this class to torchlight is simply amazing man!

[MustangMatt]

I approve of this mod. I'll be keeping close watch.

[TomaLexi]

Let me know if the mod has been finished. I'll add it to the Ultimate Modlist thread then.

[sterlinghurd]

I play hardcore and some of those skills in the resto tree would be simply awesome for survivability but I'm open. What if we scrapped the resto tree but kept Healing wave and earth shield. Rename the third tree Ancestral as in ancestral spirits.

Maddening Spirits: causes an enemy unit to go mad attacking his allies with increased damage but draining life for the duration.

Astral Recall: opens a town portal but with a 20 minute cooldown. The highest level has a 5 minute cooldown.

Earth Fury: like earthquake from warcraft III. slows/stuns all units in a large radius while dealing damage over time.

Ancestral Awakening: increased crit chance and cast speed for the duration

Fire Elemental: Summons a fire elemental to fight by your side.

I might have to shuffle the spells around a bit to make the trees more cohesive.

[Eljot]

Trolls be flippin' out mon!
I <3 shamans

[Uniq]

Well just a thought

Maybe it's just for me but scrolls of town portal drops all the time which makes astrall recall totally useless. Maybe if it was 0 sec cooldown with 1 point but when you never run out of scrolls there would be no reason to waste point on that.

So maybe swap out astral recall for healing wave?

[sterlinghurd]

So I downloaded Blender and started playing around with it. Here is a model I came up with for the totems.

[Avenue]

I made a Spirit Wolf skin just because I absolutely love Shammies in WoW. I'd like to see this project go somewhere :]
