Discussion; secondary class doesn't matter.

As far as I can tell, secondary classes do two things. They provide a list of adornments to spells and abilities of the primary class, and they are used to determine stats gained with each new level.

So, if our primary archetype will be where all of our base spells and abilities come from, and our secondary will provide those base spells and abilities with adornments we can select to apply, we can assume that the difference between a tank/tank and a tank/ranger will be almost entirely contained within the adornments each of these two classes have access to.

The thing is, we will gain access to more adornments as we adventure out in Verra.

In my experience playing MMO's, the best things are always the things that take the most time to get. If you apply this basic principle to these adornments, which group are likely to be better - the group of adornments you get as you level your character, or the group of adornments you actually spend time to gain access to?

Now, I admit I am making a few assumptions here - adornments found in the world will be based on primary archetype, not actual class is one assumption I am making.

What this says to me is that once players have spent time in Verra, once a large number of players have access to the ariety of adornments on offer outside of the class system, the bulk of players - those wanting to be the most effective at what they do at least - will likely all start using adornments on their spells and abilities that came from sources other than their secondary archetype.

If this is the case, if a tank/tank and a tank/ranger have the same spells and/or abilities selected, and the same adornments attached to them because they are the 'best' adornments, will there be any difference between a Guardian and a Warden?

I just want to reiterate that Demonic Shaman Pet does not stack.

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.

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.

This might be considered a monologue thread.

Yeah, it is like the dev threads lol

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

Peace,
Neu.

What is even happening right now?

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).

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.

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.

Neu.

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.

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.
