Shaman Witch Doctor of Life

[Abraham spalding]

So if I take the shaman class and the Witch Doctor Archetype and I have the life spirit would I be correct in thinking I have two pools of channel energy: The first at full level with 1 +Charisma uses a day and the second starting when I hit level 4 with effective level of class level - 3 and 3 + charisma uses per day?

[Anzyr]

Yes. That is correct. Though I recommend strongly against taking any archetypes on Shaman with the possible exception of Possessed Shaman.

[Weirdo]

Yes. Weird.

he can take that channel energy item to get +2d6 which with 2 diff channel pools means he could spam all day. I do find it odd tho that the witch doctor is pose to be the "cure" archtype and a shaman doesn't even get remove disease.
