New classes; perceptions

5aps seeker iz da future.

mystic will be a dissapointment, like psys were to me. My theory is that all melee classes are most fun, and the 3 original mages would be the only fun mages.

Why would i want to be a pure axe bm?

Arcane Restoration
Through an increased understanding of the ebb and flow of magical energies, 2% of damage dealt will be restored as mana.
(Only works for Wizard, Cleric, Psychic, and Venomancer)


79 skill

Nature's Domain
The mystic's have become adept with the aura's of life, enough so to keep healthy control over small areas at a time. 2% of heath and mana will be restored every 3 seconds to all party members within 15 meters. While active, movement speed will be reduced by 50%.



One could only hope b:thanks would make it far more efficient to play a magic based class to have essentially blood paint for mp.

when i saw this i immediatly thought (4% blood paint). altho its only every 3 seconds, its still **** worthy. the 50% move speed reduction makes me sad tho.


anyway seeker=new barb+BM combo

mystic=new psy/wiz/cleric/veno combo.

and apparently they get a skill that straight up counters stealth. maybe some of the QQ will stop about sins now.

BM + Barb combo? High Hp + Potential for massive spike damage? And a auto counter to stealth? /Quits Sin, Barb, and BM. Re-rolls as Seeker.

And chance to use various elemental buff ?
And magic melee class ?

Isn't this more like mix so many thing ?
But i will play all new class when they come out anyway.
b:pleased

How did everyone come up with the assumption that Seekers will be able to see sins cloaked? It says nothing about that in the flavor text.

right now its just a hopeful rumor started by the trolls and it seemed to have ignited a inevitable time bomb. lets just wait and see.

but it all has to do with the "third eye" thing the new classes apparently have.

From what I've read around the forums, the anti stealth thing was a buff that both classes shared - supposedly. But you folks could be right; It just might be poor translation.

I have a feeling seeker is going to be like a tank/de-buff/buff role.
My idea is:

With Ha(and possibly high hp)/"Arcane powers" most his buffs could be only self given(much like Wizzie shields) but will raise the Seeker's Pdef, and/or MagDef higher than a Barb's or Bm's(maybe even his magic def will rival/surpass arcane classes).

Claymores look to be really slow(like bows, .61attack rate) but very strong and highly accurate.(Possibly make dex give a very high accu increase but very low evade like 15-20/2-3)

His skills mainly will be about crowd control, like maybe a tangling mire'ish Aoe(though that may be too much like a BM), A slow aoe, and/or an attack damage decreasing debuff.Along with short range spells to offset his physical attack possible. Almost like Dante's Inferno possibly. He mainly does physical attack, but can disrupt your balance with a spell that cancels channeling or knocks back with two seconds of freeze, etc.

His weakness would be slow attack, slow run speed, and lower hp than Barbs, along with short range, high skill needed for knowing which buff to have up and to produce useful combos.

The biggest thing would be balancing him so that he and barb stand on equal ground. His damage should be higher per hit than any physical class, but extremely slow hits(like make his skills have long channeling time(but are hard to interrupt), and his survivability should be almost on par with Barb, so we'll have another tank for BH's, TT's etc.

Hmm...

Seeker: Ha class, Quasi- tank with Elemental attacks/buffs, possibly posessing wind elemental attacks. Swapping stances will activate different self buffs, such as hp up defense down, hp down defense down attack rate/power up. Might posess a slew of skills to slow, cripple, stun, bleed, or instantly kill enemy. Posessing taunts/aggro skills, constant aggro pulling abilities? Break armor/STA skills? Maybe

Likely low accuracy skills, Probably high damage output weapons, Not likely slow, probably as fast as axes, possibly mid-high melee damage rate like pole axe/hammer. Likely wont posess large amount of attack aoes, but will have aoe debuffs Likely point target attacker.


Mystic: Arcane class, will have Summonable pets, probably timered pets lasting a few minutes at best before they unsummon. Probably a Psuedo-cleric posessing Skills not too dissimilar to Regeneration aura, might posess ressurection, probably pet related party buffs rassociated with faster regeneration of HP/MP in combat. Heavily pet reliant stylized play, probably will posess mini attack skills, small ranged aoes.

Mounts: Um.... Wings?

No, there's already two races that use wings, doubt they'll add a third one.

I just thought about the new races and I have a few ideas in mind, but I think they are pretty stupid lol.

Seeker -

The Seeker, possessing incredible strength, expertly wields a massive two-handed claymore. His weapon can be infused with various arcane powers, which, in combination with heavy armor, makes him a fearsome force on any battlefield. Seekers can be male or female.

This probably means STR build. But arcane powers ? I'd love to see a BM dueling a Seeker Wait .. Ima BM ... nvm ...
STR build = low dex = sins will still be able to make holes in his HA ( and not only b:surrender ), but if he can cast arcane skills, both BM's and Sins will go down really quick, while wizzy's and psy's will be engaged with physical dmg.

Mystic -

The Mystic is a magic-user who draws her power from the planet. In doing so, she has the ability to cast nature-based auras and summon powerful entities to fight by her side. Mystics can be male or female.

Wizzy + veno = mystic ?
Instead of the veno summon I'd love to see the summon of a great army of different mobs which can't be healed for example. Just making like 20 mobs and attacking someone ... God, TWs will be funny
Something like summoning 50 mobs and sending them towards the enemy base ... Oh, I can't wait.

But, this is just my personal opinion, I don't know anything more than you know, we are all waiting

hey this whole thread is about personal opinions, and what they assume will fit into the game.




I wonder what kind of guardians/Aura's the Mytics will have:

If I had to guess I'd guess it would likely be something similar to a sort of totem, or turret mob they place. I'd assume skills would be similar, Or have siege minions that creep slowly or quickly, able to mob enemy players, but are really frail alone. Think Necromancer.



A lot of great opinions, keep it up guys.


What do you all think about mounts?

Does this mean I can play tower defense on PWI now?

Well.....

Seekers: I can only assume that they are going to be a HA, Str based class that either has elemental shiels or is able to cast attacks containing elemental damage. That would really be something you..but whatever the outcome is I think there will be QQ about them for how they killed PvP xD First, it was the Venomancers, now the Assassin and the future is..Seekers!

Mystic: They will either be a very successful class or a big disappointment. The summoning thing is most likely to be temporary pets for extra DD I suppose. I can assume anything else because the description PWI has provided are not very clear to make assumptions.

In terms of buffs for both classes I'm almost sure that they're going to have buffs that have never existed until now such as increase attack or defence level or attack rate (SQUAD) or maybe channeling/attack rate (SELF BUFF). The latter would make sense lol....more toons to get -int gear for.

With the mystics "pets" they can heal the tank and attack at the same time!!!

And seekers I believe will have multiple skills that work like Archer's Lightning Strike: based off their p attack, but dealing magical damage.

Based on this, it sounds like another Archer/BM combo... and we all know what that was. b:chuckle But now, seems like some fuzzy wandered by and combed his hair over the cauldron. Hence the HA and supposed High hp. And if they are indeed adding in elemental sheilds like everyone is wishing, the Seekers might just be .....awesome.

A close range nuke that can tank on par with a barb would be interesting. But if they have no healing skills..... b:shutup
