As a scientist, I approve of this idea. However, it won't happen.

 

Yep. It'll be a while before wynn updates, and even then it won't use much in the update

 

Dart gun seems like a very odd choice of weapon for a scientist...

 

Fixed it so it should be dark-theme friendly

 

Since this class seems to be using mechanics and gadgets to its advantage, and not that much science, why not rename it Engineer or Mechanic?

 

I was going to use an actual gun but
I'm kinda making a gunslinger class so

________________________________

Fair point, I dunno. Maybe cuz it's a broader spectrum? I might change it

 

I think that with the upcoming soldiar class there should be another non-melee class, you might want to have one early spell that deals direct damage, though.

 

What are you talking about? What soldier class?

 

I think he means Selvuts, even tho Selvut said it's not actually going to be implemented

 

Here

 

You're jumping to unsupported conclusions.

 

↑
So this means this class is going to be added?

Not necessarily. Even if the suggestion gets the support necessary to be noticed by the members of the GM team(I am specifically not mentioning it to them because I want it to be noticed on its own merits) there is no guarantee it will be added.

And yes, none of those names really fit in with the class's style or with the other class names.
-Selvut's latest post on the class

 

look at the reply above you

 

Exactly, Turtlebomb is taking it that a suggestion made by a GM is automatically going to be implemented. There is no basis in fact for that, as classes take a tremendous amount of coding, and most class suggestions get shot down pretty hard as they are poorly made. Selvut's on the other hand, started off with a lot of thought and has pretty thoroughly hashed out. Still, as you quoted, even Selvut has said that there is no guarantee that it will be added. Hence, he is jumping to an unsupported conclusion.

 

I really like the idea, but I feel as if it's rather underpowered in terms of spells. I have a few ideas how this could be changed, however:
Spell 1: Mine:
Criticisms:
This seems like a very hard spell to use when you're just starting out. Compared to the other spells, Bash, Arrow Storm, Spin Attack and Heal*, it seems rather low in terms of damage. As well as that, it takes 10 seconds to arm, meaning you'll need to be camping out before your enemy gets to you; in the heat of battle, this will be completely useless.

*I know heal doesn't deal damage, but it is insanely useful as it's essentially a free health potion.
Possible Improvements:
Spell 1: Spike Ball:
Throws a large spike ball on the ground in front of the player. Any mob that walks over this will take damage. (75% Neutral Damage)
Spike Ball Grade 2: Explosives:
After being on the ground for 5 seconds, the spike ball will become armed to explode. Either when a mob steps on it or 5 seconds after arming, it will explode, dealing large damage to enemies. (75% Neutral Damage, 20% Earth Damage on touch, 100% Neutral Damage, 50% Fire Damage on explosion).
Spike Ball Grade 3: Cluster Bomb:
After exploding, the spike ball will split into 5 smaller spike balls, dealing half the damage of the normal spike ball. (37.5% Neutral damage on touch, 50% Neutral Damage, 25% Fire Damage on explosion.)

Spell 2: Launch:
Criticisms:
While this spell seems very useful, it lacks any sort of upward travel and its second upgrade seems rather detrimental.

Possible Improvements:
Spell 2: Launch:
No changes for the first one.
Launch Grade 2: Bounce Pad:
The launch pad now launches the player forward 12 blocks and up 3 blocks. Any mobs the player collides whilst launched will take 25% Air Damage.
Launch Grade 3: Self Destruct:
After 10 seconds, the launch pad will explode, dealing 75% Air Damage and 25% Neutral damage to mobs around it. The player is launched 15 Blocks and up 4 blocks, and gains Speed 3 and Jump Boost 2 for 5 seconds after stepping on it.

These are just a few ideas of how you could improve your first two spells, the second two however seem fine.

 

Thank you for the ideas, but the launch already has upward travel (forgot to add it in :P)

 

Wynncraft is medieval times so a scientist would not fit well.

 

*ahem Ohm ahem*

 

Maybe it's like the medic gun in tf2
