    Hatred Debuff number 3: -25% attack speed for foes.

    Final clarification for Demonic Shaman Pet:

    Soul Swap Resurrection for the Shaman places the resurrected Shaman at Shaman death location.

    Combat Resurrection for other players places resurrected players next to the Shaman.

    Combat Resurrection is initiated from Demonic Shaman Pet Roster but
    Combat Resurrection is harnessed/operated from the Shaman Itself, not the pet.

    Resurrection is still locational to the Shaman, not the pet. The pet hosts the skill, the Shaman initiates and completes the skill.

    Soul Swap and Combat Resurrection have no cooldowns, time outs or lock outs.

    Much love,
    Neu.

    Edit: clarification

    Lifesteal Shaman Regeneration is remaned Shaman Soul Supplies:

    Shaman Soul Supplies gives a tick each second. The tick gives the equivalent of a health pot broken into each second, and, a mana pot broken into each second.

    Thus, both health and mana will be fed to allies. The Demonic Shaman Pet does not heal the master, nor does it supply mana to the master. You would need two Demonic Shamans and two Demonic Shaman Pets to supply both masters.

    Thank you for the support,
    Neu.

    It would also be excellent if the Demonic Shaman Pet has a Hatred Aura around it. I'm not sure whether I want a glow or special effect, just the fact that the presence causes hatred in a certain circumference.

    Cheers and much love,
    Neu.

    To top the cake, any damage from a source to Demonic Shaman Pet will transfer Hatred Debuff. All is fair in love and war.

    Let's rock and roll :)

    Correction to Demonic Shaman Pet Roster:

    We require :
    Shaman Combat Resurrection.
    AoE Taunt.
    AoE Charge.
    AoE Heal/Destruction Spell Combos.

    I don't like the idea of an invincible pet, except, it would be cool if the pet grows in size during taunt duration to signal the invulnerable status.

    Much love,
    Neu.

    Concept suggestion (no pressure and no quid pro quo)

    Demonic Shaman Pet - Demonic Vampire.
    AoE Taunt (Invulnerability for duration) - Winged Demonic Vampire.
    AoE Charge - Vampire Bat Surge on impact (DoT).
    AoE Heal/Destruction - Blood Effects, Vampire Bat Summons, Vampiric Mist, Vampire Bat Swarm and Blood Corruption (All HoT and DoT).


    8 Skills in total for Demonic Shaman Pet. I felt like being creative for once.

    Thank you for the opportunities ;)

    Whoops, Vampire Bat Surge (AoE Charge) is also HoT and DoT.

    My bad lol,

    In large scale pvp it will balance out. The corruption system will help prevent abuse of the concept. The pet will assist in both grouped pve and grouped pvp. It is the best all round concept for risk/reward, pvx healer and of course pure enjoyment.

    I just want to reiterate that Demonic Shaman Pet does not stack.
    2a3b8ichz0pd.gif
  • SongcallerSongcaller Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    I want to clarify a point. Demonic Shaman Pet must be HoT/DoT because Shamans would be stationary if Shaman Soul Supplies required burst damage to maintain.

  • SongcallerSongcaller Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Also, Demonic Shaman Pet will level with the master from level 25 if Demonic Shaman is chosen. Shaman Soul Supplies will match potions of the same level brackets.

    I feel like I need to ask. Are you ok, @Neurath ?

    Hatred Debuff starts at 0% at level 25. Each level acquired gives -1÷ for all three stats. By level 50 Hatred debuff will be -25% for all three stats.

    Yeah I'm at work hence the quick entries. Easier if I was at home. :)

    Concepts now complete. The library can now fall under the headlines.

    Peace,

    Sorry Atama, I missed your comment.

    The entries are called class concepts. It is the outline for the class, functions of the class and roll of the class outlined by the concept designer, for the next stage in development.

    It looks horrendous because the skills have no cooldowns, no GCD, no damage numbers, no heal numbers, no range numbers, no stat numbers etc.

    It is the first stage of functional conceptualisation and often requires input and discussion at a later point. It is not concept art.

    Due to the fact I will play Shaman, it is unethical for me to state actual values, durations and expenses of skills for my own class.

    I have outlined the exceptional functions of a combat healer- both pve and pvp, because most devs are lazy and will place a ressed person in front of the medic in damage zones for example.

    Anyway,
    I hope you understand the current stage.

    All the best,
    Neu.

    Edit: spelling mistake.

    P.s. if u can't stomach a healers pet I'm not sure how you will cope with a DPS Pet. Anyway, DPS Pet is not my concern right now.

    Demonic Shaman Pet now grants:

    Blood Bargain (Buff) + 25% Healing output and + 25% Damage Output.

    Blood Bargain only applies to the master's Roster.

    Hopefully, the buff will help negate the healing debuffs which will most likely come from every DPS pet known to man.

    Thank you for the realisation Atama, you're a good comrade.

    Demonic Shaman will be an AoE HoT and DoT based Blood Mage.

    Anglic Shaman is an AoE burst class for Shaman (Concept protected under A1 Ruleset).
    2a3b8ichz0pd.gif
  • SongcallerSongcaller Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    To clarify, you will not be able to harness Angelic Shaman and Demonic Shaman on the same toon.

    Thank you for the opportunities,
    Neu.

    Demonic Shaman also has three burst heals you can choose from:

    Blood Bolster (small AoE burst heal + large hot)
    Blood Burst (medium AoE burst heal + medium hot)
    Blood Battle (large AoE burst heal+ small hot).

    Cheers,
    Neu.

    As comments from people cause massive brainstorms, thank you to those who have read my input but not commented in the thread.

    You warm my heart,
    Neu.
    2a3b8ichz0pd.gif
  • SongcallerSongcaller Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Blood Bargain starts at 0% at level 25, raises by 1% each level to reach +25% for both stats at level 50.

    Trying to keep track of my concepts lol.

    Cheers,
    Neu.

    It's is now Friday. I do not want to spend more than 1 week after livestream to deal with Shaman Concept.

    My last entries for the class will be today, therefore Devs can action any decisions from Monday.

    Of course, UK and US time difference helps. So does the fact I work nights. Lol.

    Demonic Shaman Pet will have a male option and a female option to choose from at level 25 (after Demonic Shaman is chosen). Players can choose whether they want a male or female Demonic Shaman Pet at acquisition time.

    Thank you,
    Neu.

    Demonic Shaman Pet can hopefully be bred by Summoner Creature Handlers. Bred Demonic Shaman Pets can replace Demonic Shaman Pet Skin.

    Thank you,
    Neu.

  • SongcallerSongcaller Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Summoning Demonic Shaman Pet will conjure a Coffin, Demonic Vampire will rise from Coffin. I must apologise if the devs decide to make Demonic Shaman Pet something other than Demonic Vampire.

    Cheers,
    Neu.
