[warrior / Knight] War Scream Taunting Enemies

Introduction


Hello fellow Wynncrafter !
I am Thyras, and this is my first suggestion in this forum.
English is not my main language, so, you can expect some grammar mistakes, because my english is not that good.

So, I think that the warrior/knight class should be able to taunt enemies while using War scream/Cry of the Gods.


The idea


As I previously said in the introduction part of this thread, I think that war scream/cry of the gods should taunt enemies. So, let's start:

I think that war scream should taunt enemies, because it woulds give to the warrior/knight class a sort of tool to help his group, and to act like a real tank.

The point of taunting enemies (it only works in PvE) is to protect people, and to maybe save them, because well, eh, this is the point of a tank.
So, what is a taunt ? Well, if you taunt a group of enemies, the enemies will target you.
Also, they will stop attacking someone, and attack you if your taunt is active on them.


Things to know about this taunt


Every enemy that has been hit by the cry of the gods/war scream will get taunted and attack the user, even if they were already attacking someone else for 6 seconds.

The warrior/knight also taunt nearby monsters in a 3 blocks radius around him.

If the warrior/knight sneak while using war scream/cry of the gods, the taunt won't be effective. (To prevent DPS warriors being upset about being constantly targeted by enemies).


Why should we add that


Well, almost every good mmorpg, have a specialization system, such as:

-tank
-dps
-healer

Wynncraft doesn't have a specialization system yet, and I think that we should add this, to make warriors being able to tank for real.

Also, warriors that just want to use war scream/cry of the gods without being targeted by nearby monsters just have to sneak while using this spell.

And if a new specialization system is being implemented in the next expansion (gavel), then, TANK warrior should be able to get a taunt.


Anyway, that is all, I'll add a Q&A section to this post if needed.
All suggestions and opinions are welcome, so, feel free to leave feedback ! :)

Well, War Scream/Cry of the Gods knocks things back 'cause the mobs "are afraid".

And who wouldn't be if a man could scream loud enough to launch a projectile of pure sound waves, rupturing your eardrums, and launching you against a wall.

I think War Scream is good as is.

 

You don't get it, if you are not able to taunt, and to make mobs attack you, you are not really a tank.
A tank is not only defense, health points, and crowd control based, but also on his capacity of being targeted by monsters.

Did you played some mmorpg ? In them, every tanks have a taunt ability that make them being targeted by monsters. Without that, it wouldn't be a tank, but just a bruiser.
Also, it wouldn't be broken and make warrior/knight overpowered if that is added, and it woulds increase the amount of organized group such as for a piece of an example this sort of group:

-1 tank
-3 dps
-1 heal

And also, it woulds increase teamwork, because tanks will no longer be only able to protect themselves from damages, but also to protect their groups.

It is more of an additional tool than an actual buff.

 

Yeah, but this MMoRPG isn't the ones you've played before, so it doesn't have to be a copy of all the others.

Besides, you can take the aggro off another friend and put it on yourself by just attacking the mob(s). Or just plain out knock an enemy away from said friend.

War Scream also gives Resistance 3 and Strength, at max level, to friends in range, so I really don't see a use for this. Especially since people can put 70 on agility and be almost invulnerable to all conceivable damage.

Cool idea though.

 

I think taunting could be good for a custom variant of War Scream. Gonna have to look into that.

 

Thank you, but, I agree it woulds be useless in most cases, but it is more for the very organized PvE groups, to make sure the tank keep the control on the mobs. :/
Also, I never said that War scream was a weak spell, this is just that if we have to add a taunt, this spell is the best for that.


@axii , Thank you for your reply, but, what is a "GM" ? I am a 'bit' new on this forum so...

Also, I do agree with you, it woulds be a cool variant for war scream.

 

@Thyras
Not a bad suggestion :o
+1

P.S.
GM stands for Game Master.
Game Masters are people who make quests and stuff like that, I think that they also design weapons and spells, but don't quote me on that, the only thing I know for certain is the quest part :P

 

This could be a optional upgrade at like level 40 or somethin. *You know how spells have upgrades)

 

This is a good idea, because DPS warriors would be a bit upset if they fail-use their taunts :/

Oh, thank you !
