Note, this could also be spec for a possible future class of necromancer

These shamans/witchdoctors are less focused on the elements but more focused on the mind, spirits and decay… This could possibly be a tank spec.

Here are my spells:

Blood sacrifice: Sacrifice your blood to increase your spellpower.

Blood bolt: Primary spell Throw bolts of blood and restore your own health slightly.

Passive: When you kill an enemy you gain 5% increased haste stacks up to 5.

Voodoo doll: Mark an enemy, can be activated at any range/100? and the target will take x damage and slow them down.

Healings spells are removed instead they rely on leech and drain.

Plague: The enemy will take damage overtime and stacks randomly and do increasing damage and spread.

Target enemy. Summon 5 copies of yourself and randomly teleport you. This enemy cant tell who are you, these copies wont to damage but will mimic your abilties lasts 12 sec. The copies are easily killed by single target damage.

Poisionous gas: Throw a jar of poison at the target location and enemies will take full damage for 8 secs and take x damage.

Throw ash: Throw ash in a cone that will disorient the enemy, and make the screen black or blurry

Possesion: A evil spirit will control the enemy and attack the enemy lasts 10 secs or until the spirit takes enough damage. Or target a group of enemy and they will mindlessly attack eachother for 5 secs.

Summon a wall of vengeful spirits(banshee) that goes strait forward and will fear everyone caught in it and deal x damage.

Drain essence: Switch health with the enemy and they will take yours. Last 10 sec.

Transform yourself into a hulking undead and empower your abilities

Acid Rain: Summon acidic rain, enemies inside the rain will take x damage and slowly deteroriate armor.

Revive a friend as a ghost and they will have unique abilites. Can be used in combat. After 30 sec they die.

Pvp talent: Cast a spell that will throw the essences of the enemy around them: They will have to collect thier essences to restore their health, and this will slowdown thier cooldowns.

Become yourself one with an ally and make them slighty stronger, In this form you can cast certain spells and heal them. Unlimited range or long range

Players killed by the Witchdoctors have a longer res time by 5 sec

They will use onehand and held in off-hand. (Skull left hand) This will be a unique combo, they will be melee and caster.

In the end Witchdoctors focus alot on the mind and fool the enemy.

Just skimming it doesn’t sound like a Shaman. Either a Warlock or a new class.

only one what do Voodoo is the troll races …

Shamans can already use a shield so it makes no sense for a shaman tank not to use one.

If you want that skull, then it would have to be this:

No, Shamans need a tank spec, not another ranged spec.

Besides your spells are just rehashes of other spells.

I imagine fat Kul Tiran as Witchdoctor :joy: it’s sacrilege

9

Shaman tank, DK healer, and Warlock tank. Pls Blizz!

10

I struggle to see this one making sense.

11

Think of a necromancer healer! There are many RPGs that have this.

12

Bad idea, briefly you wanna make an already unpopular class still unpopular with this change.

Diablo3’s least popular class was witch doctor as far as I know.

13

Yes, its a mix between a shaman and necromancer. Dunno, whats bad about this. Many of these spells are unique and standout. I think more people will be drawn to play shaman if this were added.

14

I still can’t see how some of the spells are Shaman based. Ressing as undead? nope. Throwing blood, nope. and having mirror image?

Shamans are about balance and the elements.

15

Not saying that I want another Shaman spec, but a shaman tank would be kinda cool, buffing their shield/armour with a load of stone springs to mind

16

Shamans are about spirits in general hence spirit wolves and talking to the dead. Just look at shadow priest they are nothing like discipline or holy, they are the opposite of light. It works differently than a mirror image. It can be tweaked.

17

I fixed that
