====== Shaman Subclass ======

{{ rpd:images:elf_shaman_hero.png|Shaman }}

The Shaman is the Elf's subclass in Remixed Dungeon.

===== Description =====
Elven //Shamans// can use wands as melee weapons. Successful hits have a chance to activate the wand's power on a target without using a charge.

===== Unlocking =====
The Shaman subclass can be unlocked by using a [[en:rpd:tome_of_mastery_item|Tome of Mastery]] after defeating the second boss (Tengu).

===== Special Mechanics =====
  * Elven _Shamans_ can use [[en:rpd:wands|wands]] as [[en:rpd:melee_weapon|melee weapons]]
  * When attacking with a wand equipped as the primary weapon, there's a 25% chance (implemented as Random.Int(4) == 0) to zap the target with the wand's power without consuming a charge
  * This ability is implemented in the ''attackProc'' method of ''HeroSubClass.java'' (lines 144-153)
  * The wand must be equipped as the primary weapon (active weapon) for this mechanic to work
  * The wand needs to have charges available and the ''affectTarget()'' method must return true
  * +1 dew bonus for enhanced [[en:rpd:mana_mechanic|mana recovery]]

===== Technical Details =====
  * **Implementation:** The Shaman's special mechanics are implemented in the ''attackProc'' method of ''HeroSubClass.java'' (lines 144-153)
  * **Wand Activation:** When a Shaman attacks with a wand equipped as the active weapon, there's a 25% chance to zap the enemy with the wand's effect without consuming a charge
  * **Code Reference:** The specific implementation checks if the primary weapon is a wand, and if ''affectTarget()'' returns true and ''Random.Int(4) == 0'', then ''zapCell()'' is called to zap the enemy without consuming charges

===== Special Armor =====
Using an [[en:rpd:armor_kit_item|Armor Kit]] on any armor will transform it into the [[en:rpd:shaman_armor_item|Shaman Armor]], which is specifically designed for this subclass.

===== Advantages =====
  * Can use [[en:rpd:wands|wands]] as [[en:rpd:melee_weapon|melee weapons]]
  * 25% chance to activate wand powers without consuming charges
  * Versatile weapon options combining [[en:rpd:ranged_weapons|ranged]] and [[en:rpd:melee_combat|melee]]
  * Preserves wand charges when power activates
  * Synergizes well with all [[en:rpd:wands|wand types]]
  * +1 dew bonus for enhanced [[en:rpd:mana_mechanic|mana recovery]]

===== Disadvantages =====
  * Activation chance is not guaranteed (25% chance)
  * Wand damage as [[en:rpd:melee_weapon|melee weapon]] may be lower than dedicated weapons

===== Data Validation =====
  * Information source: Java Enum ''com.watabou.pixeldungeon.actors.hero.HeroSubClass.SHAMAN''
  * Mechanics verification: Attack bonus implemented in ''attackProc'' method of ''HeroSubClass.java'', with 25% chance to zap enemy
  * Effect descriptions: Based on string resources from values/strings_all.xml ("HeroSubClass_DescShaman")
  * Name verification: Confirmed from string resources ("HeroSubClass_NameShaman")
  * Additional mechanics: Dew bonus verified in ''dewBonus'' method of ''HeroSubClass.java''
