@Lady Arachne: It depends on your team setup. If you have a decent healer in the team, you can opt for a Speed Set build for Shaman rather than Lifesteal Set. I have re-updated Shaman’s rating on Magic Keep from 5 to 4 star because her success rate for removing enemy buff is pretty low. I have a Gorograb fully maxed skills and his A1 that has higher success rate than Shaman, also had some difficult moments to remove it. I believe it would be twice as hard to get the buff being removed with odds below 50%.
Magic Keep is her lone 5 star rating. Doesn’t this indicate that you would want a specialty build for that dungeon? In the Magic Keep wouldn’t her main goal be to remove buffs from the boss? If so wouldn’t accuracy be a priority stat?
Curious… She is marked as 5* in Magic Keep, but no gear build listed for Boss and Dungeons?
Is it still just Speed x3 (unlikely) or the more usual Speed + Lifesteal for the Magic Keep build?
@Prime Fenris: Shaman is still quite useful for Faction Wars as a reviver when dealing difficult enemies who can inflict very heavy damage that can critically knock out your champions.
Thanks for all your help on Shaman as well as all my other aspects of my game play, character builds, etc…I love AYUMILOVE.NET and could not play without you.
OBTW, I agree with Crypton below. It is only early days for me but preparing teams with the idea that my Shaman will not be a part from ~ mid-game forward.
@Jeff Tuttle: Thanks for your feedback! I’ll make the necessary amendment to enable players to view the ranking in the Overview stats.
thanks for the mastery on shaman
The reason people say she’s bad is the fact that each aspect of her kit can be done better and with less investment by a rare champion. The prime example is Grinner, who has a more useful buff AND it’s on his A1, his revive is the same as Shaman’s but 1 turn lower cooldown, and he has buff removal plus AoE for his A2. The only place he’s behind her is damage scaling (ATK and CDMG stats).
For the more specific functions that individual rares do better… If you want to strip buffs, Ogryn Jailer or Mystic Hand have more tools. If you want critical rate, Hexweaver has it plus speed on the same cooldown when booked. Haruspex and Reliquary Tender have a revive that’s arguably better because it gives turn meter as well. Add in the fact that epic skill books are so hard to come by and it’s obvious why Shaman gets all the hate she does.
Of course Shaman has some situations where she’s useful (as with nearly any other champion). It’s just a question of if she’s the best choice to occupy a slot, to which the answer is almost always “no”.
From my experience Shaman is one of the best support champions for beginners. I am still beginner – 58 days of playing and achieved l. 50 and can frankly say that I was lucky to got her. It is important what artefacts you are using with her, what skills she’s got unlocked and what other champions are in the same team. Every battle requires diferent set up, diferent champions. For one battle she is perfect, for another you may need to replace her with another champion. It’s quite hard to say that one champion is good or useless. It always depends on situation and circumstances.
I started 8 days ago to play! I like the game, but i strugle with artifacts and champs… soo far I use recommending artifacts! I got yesterday shaman, have her now on 33 lvl, and im not much happy with her! I mean, bassicly she brings back one champ, and thats all cool about her! I have High Elves support (Rare) rank 4 40 lvl, that seems to be much smarter choice!
To pile on to the previous comments, it does seem odd that she’s rated as bad when she’s rated as 4 or 5 stars in nearly every category.
I agree with other poster. Rating Shaman as “bad” without any description of why makes it difficult to know whether to trust this information or not, and also whether the information is even applicable to different kinds if players or playing styles.
Why not put their overall tier ranking in with the other Overview stats? For instance, the Shaman is ranked as Bad, as opposed to Good, Godlike, etc. Would be helpful to see Tier Ranking in the Overview section without having to go to a list for everyone when you may just be looking up one particular Champion.
