The playerbase nowadays seems to be too good to party with people in general or
me in particular, so something that's nice at soloing would be good to have! Of
course, erelig guilds in general seem to fit that slot well but non-erelig
option would be nice; therefore, see above :-)

Or, give greligs something that actually works; and no, templar/monk don't
really work compared to about any other tank guild.. templars 50 dodge is less
than what spiders get, and those aren't even tank-oriented; monks lack on about
any other front than dodge which is reasonable.

I'm actually too noob to know if there's ever been a shaman guild, at least i
haven't heard of anything like it. But, i've been hatching an idea of one. I
might have sent this on news before, but i'm too lazy to check so i just have
to trust that i haven't. I might have talked about this on messenger while
heavily drunk though. Anyway, here goes:

Nomad version of bards, based on ritual dances instead of singing. These
dances would consume ep, and in most cases would give a boost to entire party.
They could craft their own drums and/or masks/other clothing to give bonuses
to dancing. Maybe hunt down different animals for different kind of fur for
different kind of bonuses? Some neat herb tricks to enhance campfire and maybe
put entire party into heavy slumber (lullaby rip-off, i know). Enraging dances
to make party members to ignore physical pain, resulting in improved
discipline or stunned maneuvers, maybe even pr. How about a frightening ritual
to terrify upcoming opponent? Face paints! Something fun to do with face
paints, yeah. Herbs could be used for salves and potions too. However, their
potions shouldn't be based on already existing spells like alchemist potions.
Come on, what do you say?

Have you read my notes or wtf? Its only missing the apprentice period of of
new shamans, the dances would use everyones ep in the party (that participate
to the dance IF they want its effect and running out of ep would force the
dancer to deep slumber until at +ep), rituals to draw symbols to perons faces
that give +skill or +spell and each symbol needs to be researched by the
shaman.
Rituals would be like clense the mind and body [remove harmfull effects],
enrage, harmony [possible short bless if enough true to own aligment] and so
on.
But no huting or fighting. Shamans don't fight, its myth from WoW. Thats why
the tribe has fighters, hunters, archers.

A :-D hits you.
