Not a very complex change, won't need testing.

NEW:
[25732/2109] Mammoth's Force Rk. II
Classes: DRU/86 SHM/86
Mana: 401
Target: Single
Range: 200
Casting: 2.5s, Recast: 1.5s
Duration: 01:12:00 (720 ticks)
3: Increase ATK by 152
7: Increase Melee Damage by 10%
Fills your target with the power of the mammoth, increasing their attack rating by #3 and the damage they are capable of for %z.
Rank 1 is 141. Rank 3 is 164.
The original Champion spell was 140.
So, at rank 2 this is an upgrade of 12 atk. I sincerely doubt you could tell the difference between rk. 1 and rk. 3 to be honest, due to the natural variance (as Ughbash posted) but still I won't complain about it especially since I never have to cast the original Champion ever again.
In fact, I think I'm going to bestow the honor of being the first spell I've ever DELETED on Champion. Yes. It will feel good.

I just wanted to briefly comment, I was on a break during Champion's demise. When I last played EQ Champ was a highly desired spell, that was much in demand. Its short nature and high mana cost made it difficult to use but still considered worth it. When I returned to EQ the buff had been replaced and forgotten about, folded into Unity. This was quite shocking to me. I will just say that despite what a PITA champion was it was one of the big differences between having a shaman in the group and a buff bot. Sure Tiger plays that role now, but I miss champ and wish that we still had a truly meaningful short term melee buff that made Shaman (even more) desirable in groups.
