class fanmade suggestion ( warlock) also 3/3/3 discusion

[timber nimbus]

warlock can drain the life force of enemies or using it's own to empower it's abilities or heal allies .
resource : mana
secondary resource : life force

Warlock weapons

scepter and ritual knife : scepter and ritual knife is used for casting dark magic and blood magic , it can also being used to heal allies using drained life force or sacrificing his own HP .

scythe : shadow magic combined with martial training used for short and melee ranged attacks and spells

wand and orb : wand and orb is used for illusion magic and mind magic to control the battlefield and infict terror ton enemy minds .

another thing I would like to add is that it would be good for the game to have at the top of 9 classes with 3 mana, 3 vigor and 3 rage . after that adding new things to classes or add ways for a class to use a different class weapon as second weapon which can be get tweeks based on the class to use it will be good idea . For example a sorcerer using greatsword will have different skill set than the swordman etc

ps : however at max of 10 classes with last one being a shape shifter which will have all 3 resources based on its form can be good as an idea but if it's something truly unique

i feel like a tamer class would be nice, especially since it would fit within the chronotector theme. In the CBT it was mentioned that a Sentinel can control multiple Summons .. so having a class that can tame and controll one or more xenos with some twist to the chronotector summons would be probably cool, kinda like instead of summoning them like everyone else with the chronotector you sync up with them and get to play as them for a limited time or something ?

[timber nimbus]

why not . A summoner class is also something awesome as an idea also a tamer like can easily fall under vigor

[timber nimbus]

which can also be having a weapon set of whip and shield or buckler so both be summoners
having one extra class able to fill the tank role and giving the so underdog whip weapon

[quaint abyss]

yeah .. i kinda feel like warlock needs more of a twist to it tho since from what i remember mages could switch into healing already .. so warlock being able to heal allys sounds a bit too much like copy past

[timber nimbus]

but sacrificing your own HP to do so ? unless you have enough life force resources . also it can decrease your max hp for doing it if you don't have life force

the thing is they need a dark caster and as long classes can fill more than one thematic you can have illusion enchantment( dnd enchantment ) type of magic to one caster and warlock thematically is good using both the other one is witch or hexer . but warlock filling both

[quaint abyss]

i think what would be cool tho would be to let the warlock maybe be someone whos void tainted, so it drains their own sanity or something, with their playstyle being selfdestructive and primal .. kinda like a mage version of dual blades .. you pay with your own hp or with a very aggressiv upfront playstyle and get rewards with hp drain ?

like having your actions cost sanity but you can overcharge it and keep casting but you start dealing damage to yourself if you ignore it .. so you can go full risk and boost your dps but you need to keep your hp in check .. would also allow for some potential cool healer warlock combo

[timber nimbus]

AND the key thing add somehow the ability of pure specializations . pure elementalist pure holy mage healer etc

[timber nimbus]

yeah it works awesome as well

the only thing whatever cost it has the self damage shouldn't be more than the healing unless that damage decrease max hp as well

[quaint abyss]

i mean you could go into two specialisations for warlock at least .. one that attempts to resist the void .. with more of a defensive set of abilitys and longer cooldowns but heavy impact .. and one that just gives in, short cooldowns for possible overspam and selfharm with a pure focus on destruction and carnage

[quaint abyss]

probably just make it so the healing is % to the damage you deal, so if you want to get your max healing you need to really dive into it ..

[timber nimbus]

I am waiting as crazy those matrix system just for such things

also to see if pure focus going exists and how . using twice the same weapon ? matrix system to alert another class weapon skills . I am really in huge agony over it

[quaint abyss]

Im also really curious xD

[timber nimbus]

I mean for tank players , support players or casters such thematic is really important .
