On the assumption that shamans haven't been overpowered for the last few years that they've been how they are, wouldn't being unable to stack damnation seem to be nerfing a skill that wasn't overpowered to begin with? It seemed to me that the whole basis for not being able to choose what stat got lowered was that you could cast it multiple times hoping for an affect.

Similiar to the Rhual/orc guard bug, it would seem to me that this is (albeit not as dramatic) akin to removing summon from necromancers rather than making the orcs unsummonable.

I suggest and hope that this occurs, that perhaps shamans could either choose which malediction they hit (even if on a basic level, such as physical (dex/str), mental (int, wis, svs), charisma (for charisma, since its really not something you'd pick overly often except against bards and maybe conjurers and types of warriors)...or they could still stack it with the caveat that it will not lower constitution. Frankly, other then rot, or landing plague/poison, I can't imagine many reasons why I'd rather reduce con over say svs & dex.

If such was implemented I would greatly appreciate it, despite not having any desire to play a shaman or having played a shaman for nearing 3 years now, simply because I wouldn't feel that the whole class was losing something based on one abused tactic. Please consider .
