Classes: The Soldier (925+ Supporters) - Updated To 1.1.4 Stats!

Its defense is lower, though?

That means it takes 20% extra damage, just like Mage does.

 

I feel like you should be able to not take knockback during a slash. Let's say that you're on the edge of a cliff and fighting something. You wont want to launch yourself off the cliff if you happen to use the spell. You relate it to escape, but with escape you can "cancel" it with stomp (and not take fall damage either way). I suggest that crouching cancels knockback taken.

edit: confused slash partially with strafe my bad

I like the rest of it though.

 

Slash doesn't move you...?

 

I'm referring to the bolded part

 

Perhaps it doesn't move you if you crouch?

 

I'd assume it would send you at least a little bit upwards, as it is a "hop," not a teleport or whatever.

 

Ah. In that case, position yourself tactically so that you don't fall. That's part of the trickiness of the class; since skills can move you and can't be interrupted under certain conditions, you have to learn to work with them. This is a balance to their high power; unwieldiness.

 

I think the name is too.... Specific (can't really explain it :() as you see the classes right now are kinda... Broad
"The Soldier" dosnt seem like a fitting name for a class in general. I think that something more broad sounds better. Can't really think of a name for this though :( . Well you have a +1 supporter either way

 

But 'Soldier' is a broad term.

EDIT

The classes don't even have broad names.

Like, do you really think an archer would be swinging a giant fucking axe of doom?

 

Mage: Someone who uses magic
Archer: Someone who shoots arrows
Warrior: Someone who fights
Assassin (well this is kinda specific) A killer for hire
Soldier: A person in a army who fights

Look at the differences

Anyway that's just my 2 cents

________________________________

By "broad" I mean that it is not specific ya know

 

Everyone fighting for Wynn is in an army though.

 

That's true...............

Wouldn't it be weird being a soldier while already being a soldier?

 

Yeah, that's the problem there's no other name that feels right

 

this is really strong for level 72 even tho im a mage i cant say much about dmg

 

I don't understand. You are already a soldier as your role as the player why should a class be a soldier if all the other classes are already a soldier? Doesn't make sense

 

Actually, it only appears strong. Given the proper damage calculations on its attack speed and everything, it lands to be exactly average. The high damage variance makes it seem much stronger than it really is, and that's part of the playstyle. Many of the weapons, even if they attack slowly, will have high damage variance, meaning it's partially up to luck.

 

oh and my Ethereal is very fast attack speed now i get it

 

hm... the succor seems too much like war scream, how about haste+leaping and weakness?
but I still love it

 

Haste does nothing except visually affect your swing speed, Jump Boost is useless in a battle(and can be a hindrance in some cases!!), and it already does give Weakness to foes.
