The main function of a totem is not to be used alone. The good thing about the totem is that it can be cast and then you can keep using other spells!
Let's say this: You enchant your weapon with fire and hit for like 3-4k to a boss. Then while you autoattack for 3-4k (it will be way more when you get the good sword), you use your shocks dealing 2-3k damage. Thats like 5-7k each turn. And then you can add a totem hitting for 1k every 2 seconds for 10 seconds, totems are like a AoE curse. Also you can use your susano pet that hits every second during 15 seconds for 1700~ with a 25 seconds CD.
It may need a tuning to do a little more damage? Sure, totally possible. But you are not supposed to use a totem, and kill everything just with it. Just because you dont see a flat 7k number doesnt mean its not doing enough damage. The combination of attacks you can do with a shaman is way greater than any other vocation right now, and again im talking about the combination of attacks, not a single one like exori spell for exemple. It's all about playstyle.
And you say you want to delete the class just because the totem isnt good enough? Wtf..
Also the healing i know its an issue and its gona get fixed asap.
The problem is that you aint seeing the big picture here. A guardian has HIGH cd on their spells, they hit hard but thats it. They can cast spells that hit 5k every 2 seconds? So? You can get a shaman do 10k damage with a combo. You can't combo AT ALL with most vocations.
As i said before, BIG numbers doesnt mean better.
Shades for exemple are a big exemple. They dont have really big numbers, buy they have 1 second of global CD, and they can spam spell way faster than any other voc, and I can tell you this, they do TONS of damage.
One vocation does 5k from one spell every2 seconds the other does 2+2+2+2k every 2 seconds. It just depends on how you like it..
(And again, that doesnt mean that it doesnt need a bit of balance)
