What am I supposed to do with Shamen?

Cast fire spells with a skull of fire and phoenix power? Also site searching with the same items. Not as generally useful as the Shaman perhaps.

Giving them a Skull Staff and having them summon Banefire archers in droves is much more fun!

Unfortunately all those nice things that you can now do with the keeper were things you could already do with either a heriodule or a saromancer.

Losing all your nature and astral magic sucks. No amulet of MR, no pendant of luck, no magic deul, no arcane probing, no communion (ergo no relief, astral healing, antimagic). He's not better than the shaman.

You still have all of these ones through the randoms on your sauromancers.

Fine Graeme. But the next time you cast relief with a saromancer, be sure to let me know.

Does being a patronizing ******* come naturally to you, or do you have to work at it?

You'll notice that I specifically kept only those things that could be done with either 1 nature or 1 astral.

The point is that losing the shaman is a negative, and gaining the keeper is a small consolation. By implying that the random pick of the Sauromancer could make up for this loss, you mislead players. And yes, if you continue to nit-pick my Posts, I suppose I'll have to continue to patronize you.

No, by pointing out that the sauromancer can forge the astral 1 items and cast the searching spell I'm correcting your mistake. Incorrect information is useless information.

It's nice to see that you're committed to making worthless Posts. You made a statement that just so happened to be completely wrong, so you'll have to expect people to call you on it. There's an awful lot of people who read these Posts and use the information for their own purposes, so its vital that the correct information be presented.
