Shaman in 1.1?

[lopschi93]

Took a break for a while and missed the start.
Last time I played, noone was playing shaman since the other 2 were just better at basically everything.
And the shaman nodes in the back half were just not strong enough.

Now I come back and I want to try gathering storm again (not tornado build)
But I saw that they nerfed (?) shaman nodes???
The totem spell node at the very end doesn't scale with the amount of totems anymore. Same for the meele node.

How do the changes feel at the moment?

I played Gathering Storm Shaman now (but it was my first time) and it was really fun to clean monolits, but TBH when I got to the second Helbringer boss it was hard and boring. Basically all I could do was spam Avalanche on it and run, causing it to one shot me.

+ If you get any lag or any visual bug with the boss's AOE skill, you have to start all over again...

shaman is meh, you will start to get 1 shot-ed at empowered monolith

Still worthless as it was in Early Access. Ha. Reason I quit the game...favorite class and it's trash compared to every other class.

Shaman suffers from severe identity crisis. It's Mastery skill and bonuses scream "use Totems," but only one of its skills is a Totem (or can become a Totem) and Druid is a better Totem user (unless you need Storm Totem for some reason). Beastmaster is better for melee builds as well. The only build Shaman has going for it atm is an Avalanche build and even that's not as good as a normal Druid or Beastmaster build.

So no, Shaman still isn't good.

Attunement is a garbage main stat, and Primalist is just kind of bad let alone Shaman.
