Out of retirement I come...
The whole problem with the rez thing is, Shamans nor Druids were never intended to be given 'Rez' in the first place. After a LONG long time, both classes were given a HUGE bonus AA by getting Call of the Wild. I *KNEW* it would one day get to "Oh, if we have a revive type spell now, we should also have a rez type spell". A classic example of a class being given a hand and then they try to take the whole arm -- slowly but surely.
Unmei: I played the chanter back in the day, and while I do agree that our haste was better than Shamans by far, we never really were a 'Melee Booster' class. We just had 2 very powerful buffs, Haste and Clarity. Shamans always had much to do with buffing and boosting melee classes with stats and what not, so I don't entirely agree that Panther should've gone to chanters. Do chanters need a remake? You bet they do, but adding more buffs is certainly the last thing I'd want as a chanter, if I was to go back and play Daerius.
