Any plans to improve Shaman class

[Submale]

Hello,

First of all, I know it’s a beta I’m a big fan of the Diablo 2 Wind druid build. I thought the Shaman class would look like this, but for now, I’m disappointed

Are there any plans to improve the shaman class ?

I feel like he doesn’t really have a choice, running totem build (I’m not sure it is a viable end game build) or running on auto-cast mode (keypad) tornado/maelstrom/avalanche/ice thorns.

Improve existing spells (Earthquake, tornado)

New spells ? I’m not a game designer (back-end dev here), but here are some ideas that respect the shaman theme.

• Chain lightning
• Thunderstorm
• Tsunami
• Rift
• Lava
• Landslide

Full build running on auto-cast, planned ?
Mana regen dependent, planned ?

Best regards,
Sub.

They did have a thread a while back about us picking a skill for them to revamp next & I think Tornado might have “won”.

Thank you for your message, I hope it will be viable

However, there is not much choice

I also tried to rebuild d2 wind druid when i saw maelstrom and tornado available in LE. Was kinda dissapointed aswell because the ‘‘original’’ playstyle with single cast non stacking maelstrom and tornado didn’t feel good enough here. Tried a physical Tempest Strike/Earthquake last week…also not that happy with. For now i stick to Werebear and Totem builds. Balancing and more viable builds will come
