Hello players. This is something that will probably never see the light of the day, but i wanted to make a class that I think would fit my playstyle and also would fit my personality since RP is a pretty big part of a MMO right?
The Revenant
-
Class
The male deathblade -
Design
The “fandom” is based around ghost, shadows and death, comparable to the death knight from WoW, the Revenant from Guild wars, Pyke from League of Legends. The goal is to add a bit of a darker spectrum in the class specializations, since Shadowhunter in basically the edgiest we have. -
Gameplay
Melee class with a fighting style mixed between scrapper and deathblade. Fast, heavy hitting with middle to low mobility. He would carry a big sword on his back that levitate, just like 2B in Nier automata. Most spells use this weapon. For the bigger attacks the sword would duplicate itself in different shapes and colors (green/blue mist, blood red, shadow black). -
Identity
X : character explodes to create an area around him that increase the attack speed , movement speed and damage of the user as well as the party for a fraction on the damage only.
Z : same gauge as Deathblades without the blade surge spell. Tripods could make the spells use the gauge to increase damage -
Engravings
- Path of the blood
X ability “absorption” grants a new spell that consumes the area when reused healing the player a bit and dealing damage as the spell is channeled. - Path of the ghost
Remove the active part of Z identity spell. Increase heavy spells that consume gauge.
- Notable abilities
Shadow step. An ultimate that has a super low cooldown. Teleport behind the target dealing some damage and generating a lot of identity gauge.
New type of spell. The “spam” type ability.
I post this here so you can tell what you think about it, and maybe do the same for you so we can see what the community comes around with. Also I voluntarly don’t talk about balancing etc. This is more for the playstyle and identity as a new class.
