The powerful goddess shaman has decided to help Tigrounette with this event. For this reason, new powers have been granted to all shamans! - Melibellule

I think there is a Shaman Event, the new skill trees is just a part of it.

The gum/ice ability was obviously deemed too broken in late stage testing and removed. Pity, I had personally suggested a gum plank in the development phase, and would have liked a good troll ability like it.

Got a source?

Trollish, stupid skill trees. Though, there are a few useful ones in there too.

It seems that most of the new skills are pretty useless. Granted, a few I like, such as the no soul mate one and the grappling one, but other than those I don't really see anything except troll skills and skills that just make the game less fun. The cat is just... why? Why did you put a cat in this game? Especially when it can't do anything except run and jump around. It doesn't even have the shaman powers. That was just a waste. Especially since so many people want it and are getting it that now only about 10% of the maps we get can be completed because the shaman is too busy turning into a cat and running all over the place not building. These skills let me down big time. I'm actually kind of disappointed.

Nature's return is really only beneficial to being the first item used in Map 66 (the spinning b plank that you have to build over) in which you can delete it and just build a bridge over as well as the other maps of spinny b planks that usually only divine shams can reach with their mechanician X delete skill.

Map 2 (the wallclimb map that you put a invis box under the vertical plank) which deletes all the obstacles. Map 32 (mice trapped in the box car) which would instantly free everyone if you instant delete. I think you can also delete all the balls on the ball pit map.

I think the skill is best used on Map 34 (the house of cards style planks that you shoot a down canon at) because if you have fast reaction speed and instant summon nature's return; you, everyone, and your afk saves should fall in a straight line directly into the hole.
I have not tried it but can you delete all the anvils on the anvil bomb map? If so then one can instantly delete everything then use the esc glitch.

I have a theory that with right estimated timing, the anti gravity skill would work on Map 131 which is the water map encased in ice with cheese in the water while i finish building and the mice float but are stopped by the ice roof. Don't know if I trust the timing of the mice however.

The Reflex skill is terrible. I have both Master summoner and eagle's eye and that would just invalidate my mechanician skill set. The Landslide skill which splits your cannon into rocks also invalidates my Mechanician lead cannonball skill. Grapnel is cool tho cause I can jungle gym my way to the other side lmao. Restorative (the tape skill) can basically be used as b anchor for hard and divine mode.

I think the new shaman skills are nice even though they might not all be useful. It's new tech so there's a lot of possibilities we may not even know about.

I think i'll write a topic about how this update killed for good the competitive side of this game. Farming saves will be easy as hell and the new skills totally made the divine too easy.

Take your pick.

I find physicist to be by far the best skill tree for divine shams. So yesh, a lot easier to use divine now ((If using common sense))

What disappointed me about the new skill trees though is that they focus more on giving CERTAIN mice abilities and less about building and saves, ((I'm looking at you windling)) FAVOS AHOY

Also, the highest ability in skill trees is supposed to be the most powerful right? Well the Windling tree is the ability to turn into a cat..... WHHY? Its not useful at all and you can't spawn stuff while using it, that one skill was possibly the most disappointing thing about this update. At least the highest skill in physicist SAVES mice, ((It's like the good version of bubbles)) But turn into a cat? Other than a slight jump boost, that skill ((and possibly the entire skill tree)) seems like one sad ass joke.

Other than that, yes it is fun to play around with.... BUT WHY CAN YOU NOT SPAWN THESE IN UTILITY? Y'KNOW, WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TIME TO SEE AND ADMIRE?

Also, where is this 'Event'? They really shouldn't call it an entire event if it's just about 2 skill trees being added.

This is probably one of the few things I don't like about the new skills, besides the Wildling tree being kind of unnecessary except for the right side of the tree. You could argue that webs and thorn planks can be useful (And they can be, don't get me wrong) but they seem very very situational, and thorn planks are kind of like long chocolate planks to be honest.

The Physicist Tree is really neat though and definitely was something I was looking forward too, though it does need to be tweaked a little for Hard/Divine mode

Let me explain my point of view about divine being too easy right now with the nes skills. Having certain skills combined (i.e. Master summoner, Eagle eye, Reflex, Restorative and Big Plank) gives you an huge advantage in divine. You can spawn objects at a ridicolous speed without drowbacks regarding summoning range, you can fix the planks with an "almost" b anchor and cover a lot of space with those planks. I tried to complete some P4 maps with those skills and it's reaaaaally easy and took me almost 30 seconds to 1 min each. Some example.

As you can see a lot of them can now be completed just spawning a couple of big plank and putting a restorative on them. The main point of divine is to be challenging for the most skilled shamans (and shamans that can really use it effectively is a really limited number and I'm not counting in since i derp too hard sometimes) but right now it's not really challenging. I've barely 17k divine saves but i'm already disappointed of people farming them in vanilla or just reviving/teleporting mice, now if i want to keep track of the farmers i have to use those skills to maximize the saves. And don't come tell me that "if you want to showoff your skill don't use the ability point because it's kinda pointless to me, When i look at the raw stats i see A LOT of people that can't even build a 2 plank bridge in divine getting more divine saves than more experienced shamans that love to build nice and stable things and now this is going to be worse.

Sipirtual Guide last skill cloud,ok
Wind master last skill wings,ok
Mechanicain last skill is op spirit,ok
Windling last skill is transform into cat,awesome
Physicist last skill is 1inch jump, are u joking...? ,i thought awesome skill but disspointed ....

I just hate when you are arguing that the skills are bad, just don't use them, its simple. >.>

What's the point of building with these skills anyways? The anti-gravity is already enough. Mice would just fly, and bam, you're there.

I present you the new and improved version of the most annoying and map breaking totem ever.



This is the totem every br wishes for: almost indestructible, it covers the whole map totally destroy all the fun of soloing maps.
And it's even easier to build, just 6 objects, that means you can even add 14(!!!!) cannons to your weapon of mass annoyance!

Seriously Tig, Mely whoever it is, GET THIS BIG PLANK OFF THE TOTEM EDITOR NOW.

bugembo a dit :

Mechanicain last skill is op spirit,ok

it's actually an increased spawn range. not sure where you got 'op spirit' from, but okay

even if we didn't use them, there would still be other shamans who used the skills
please do tell us how you can avoid genius shamans using troll skills in every room besides not playing the game at all

Quick question

What's the new max skill level

Anything have cat png?
Very need, pls.

I've noticed that since yesterday they've removed the ability to use the Shrinking and Rollout Shaman Powers on yourself. that sucks cause I was enjoying using them on myself for fun lol.
