lol yeah, if you are C&P'ing something make sure to take out any sort of apostrophe's or anything else that is held in the air on a post...otherwise it'll do that.

Kindral - Harshlands

Ummm, does it automatically cut off everything, or did I do something wrong.

These forums don't like apostrophes.

Anyway, first off; this belongs in the suggestions forum. Secondly, to answer the thread title...


No.

There have been a billion-and-one suggestions for new classes since the release of this game and I'll let you guess how many of those actually got implemented. Just putting that out there before you retype the entire post.

Kindral - Harshlands

I am Kindral from the Harshland server, and I wanted to share a few ideas for some new classes. Ive been playing for two years and I really like PWIs style. Hope you like them and I hope that maybe some of these things are implemented into the game.

P.S. I know that a lot of the skills are AoE (and ton of effects), but being a wizard does that do you. x_x (but huuma shuriken should be a AoE weapon path in my opinion). And again these are just ideas. I had some drawings too but they didnt show up when i copied them over.


Introducing,
Elementals

My idea for the Elementals in the storyline is that the spirits from the land itself, are planning on helping the other races through, what would be known as, the end of their world, or maybe after the prophecy happens, the elementals would come help rebuild their world. The Elementals body would look as though it was made of fire, water, earth, wood, or metal but contain their true form until they can control their power, in order not to be a danger to others. The two classes for the Elementals are: Shinobi and Alchemist.

So far as stat points, I think Hp should increase your hp pool and hp regenaration. Strength should increase physical attack and def. Magic should increase your mp pool, magic defense, more than a wizard, mp regenaration, and increase your hp pool by a small amount, maybe like 5 hp because they are elemental beings filled with magic, so they should feed off magic. For example, if I had 200 hp total and I put 3 stat points in Magic, it will raise my my total hp by 15, so then I would have 215 hp total. Dex would raise hit chance, evasion, and crit. Youll see why in a second.

My idea for Shinobi was for them to use magic attacks as well as physical attacks. Their channeling and casting of their skills should be fast, but the more advanced the skill, the longer the cooldown should be. Magic attacks may be based on weapon dmg and base magic dmg. Shinobi may also use weapons such as swords, daggers, fists, bows, and huuma shurikens. You may think, Hmmm, if theyre going to put stats in strength and dex to use weapons, their magic attack wont be strong enough to even use. This may be so, that is why I suggest using mainly weapon dmg and their base magic damage to amplify their magic skills.

For the Alchemists, they can use magical cannons or magic swords. The cannons will have the longest range in the game due to the force of the cannons. Cannons shoot mana as a basic attack, so the carrier will lose a certain amount of mp each shot. Unlike bows, or the like, cannons power grow as the target comes closer, and weaker if the target is too far. The magic sword path will give alchemists a more tactical approach to fighting due to their low hp. This path will focus on reducing the opponents physical and magical def. Alchemists also have party buffs that include raising defenses and regenerating hp.

There will be several magic skills both the classes can use, such as,
Fire Path: Fireball _ range damaging skill
Fire Punch _ chance of stun and pushback
Fire Vortex _ ranged target AoE and DoT
Fire Blast _ frontal AoE

Earth - hair could be of earth or grass
Wood - hair could be wood, leaves, or vines
Metal - hair could be metal, hairstyle could be like heavy metal rock band style

And here are some other drawings:
This was my first drawing of them, I first thought shinobis could use poles but decided against it.
I also was thinking or doing movesets based on the size and shape of an alchemists cannon; the smaller one you see on his left hand would be the fast attack speed and damage dealing path. The longer cannon you see below would be the stronger, close range, damage dealing path but with a bit slower attack speed. The bigger cannon you see on his right hand would be the semi-damage dealing, tank path. But also decided against that.

These are the Elementals True Form. Need level 10 Increase fire/water/earth/wood/metal control to obtain True Form. True Form should be a toggle skill, such as barbarians turning into tigers. Maybe it should cost 2 sparks? Who knows, anyway, I hoped you liked the suggestions and reply.

Wizard uses Splash!

It's not very effective...

Lairian - Sanctuary

I actually suggested a similar race of elementals a long time ago. b:chuckle Except I didn't put in so much details (didn't have the skills and such). For me, my classes were Magic Swordsman and Summoner.

The concept of elememtals is fun to think up, even if it's not going to be even considered for implementation.

Jaenen - Harshlands

Maybe shinobis can use poles and weild poles like Kilik off of Soul Calibur ^^
