Multi-class Weapons

So you're probably wondering what I mean by this. What I mean is that, for certain weapons, the Class Requirement has more than just a single class and it's recolour. To give you an example, here is what I mean;

The Fletched Stabber
Very Slow Attack Speed

Neutral Damage: 40-50

Class Req: Archer/Hunter/Assassin/Ninja
Level Req: 29

An arrow that is used as a melee weapon, rather than its ranged brethren.

I personally feel that this would be a cool addition to Wynncraft. It adds a bit more feel to weapons and makes them less of a rigid, mono-class, there-just-to-serve-a-porpouse weapon and more like something you could actually see existing. So, what do you think?

 

nah dog

this is even worse then antilag sugegstions

 

Well, I do like this idea, at least it does allow more weapon choice since at this moment.
But it does have some issue like Archer's first ability not working.

 

It's not a bad idea, though I think that these weapons aren't really feasible to wield on their own.
I think it would be cool to somehow integrate multi-class weapons into a sort of Dual Wielding system (a la 1.9, whenever they're ready), where players can switch between their primary weapon (Bow, Wand, Spear, Dagger) and their secondary weapon (the multi-class weapons) with the "swap key" to create unique and intricate attack combos.

I can't really think of many at the top of my head, but some examples of multi-class weapons could be...

Spoiler: A bit of text.

• Hatchets/Scythes
  • Deals a hefty strike that unleashes focused damage on a single enemy, but also cleaves nearby enemies for a little extra damage, and has a chance to bleed
  • Gain an extra damage dealer on hand to chain together powerful standard attack combos
• Tomes/Prisms
  • Charges an energy bolt that flies straight forward, dealing a medium amount of damage in a small blast radius upon contact and slowing for two seconds
  • Gain a utility spell that can whittle down a group of enemies from longer range
• Knives/Rapiers
  • Unleash a flurry of stabs in a single attack command, which quickly adds up damage to enemies being attacked, at the cost of lower range
  • Gain a close-combat weapon that helps quickly eliminate enemies that are too close
• Whips/Flails
  • Swiftly throws out a fast blow that deals damage in a long straight line, creating a divide in groups & stopping enemies dead in their tracks for a split second to keep them at bay
  • Gain a crowd-control weapon that can separate enemies in the group for more favorable tactics
• Muskets/Cannons
  • Fires a powerful shot that deals heavy damage to a single target from a considerable distance, with user recoil + knocking enemies far back from impact
  • Gain a long-range weapon that allows for sniper-esque takedowns with a steady aim

 

I feel like the economy is going to go worse of this is added...

 

I don't think that this is a good idea, but will tell my reasoning for it. (aside from the fact that weapon textures would be [insert f word] up.)

The thing about the weapons currently in the game is that they are balanced for the specific class, with multi-class weapons, you'll have mages using weapons that deal the amount of damage a bow would deal.
(Of course you can make it so that it doesn't deal the amount of damage of a bow. But than archers wouldn't really use 'em, destroying the entire point of it being 'multi-class.')

There are probably many more reasons, but this is the main one.
Another one would be the coding, they'd have to change quite some shizzle in the coding. It's alot of work. Although it seems so simple.
but yeah.
I'm against the idea.

 

NOOO
OH GOD NO
PLZ NOOO
actually though it would ruin the uniqueness of each class if you could use some of the same weapons

 

What? No.

Last time I checked, warriors don't smack enemies with bows. This is the worst idea I've ever heard.

 

We should think about something like this NOT this but something like :P I might make a thread about this.......

 

Then, perhaps, you should make a suggestion to improve it, or explain why you think it's a bad idea?

 

It screws with the classes. Archer is either using a non ranged weapon or assassin is using a ranged weapon which doesnt really add up at all

 

Would Be cool but would be stupid , image a movie where their was a knight that had a magic , long dagger , that can be shot from a bow ... every one would be like Wtf , as I said would be cool but would be very stupid ... maybe their could be weapons that are for 2 classes that could work like a short sword for assassins and knight but then if that was a thing it would seem less apealling to try every class since they can all use the same weapons …
in conclusion I don't think this should be added .

 

Nice Idea!

I'm not saying all weapons should be usable by all classes, more that there might be some creative potential in some few weapons being usable by more than one class, like my idea. It's only usable by Assassin and Archer, as being a Mage who wafts around an arrow for combat serves more comedic relief than actual fighting potential.

On second thought, though, ther could easily be a kind of bent spear with a string that attaches both ends, that is usable by Archer for the string and Warrior for the spike...

Well, in any case, thanks for not being having a mouth the size of Llevingar Door and actually explaining why you think it's a bad idea. I'm not against dislike for this idea, I'm against abuse of our rich language for the sake of harming someone else just because you don't like one of their ideas.

Send me a link when it's made!

 

*sigh* I can't bother to essentially rewrite everything I've written to respond to others who've been just as loudmouthed as you, so just see what I've written to them.

 

Or instead, add a class which utilize on various weapons as well as having well rounded stats.
Just my two cents.

 

welp spork exist why not a bent spear too?

 

There's already a thread about this

 

the only way i'm going to support this is if i'll get to wield a scythe if it's added.

seriously, is it too much to ask to add a scythe for mages? warriors and assassins already have them (scythe and archangel, respectively)...

 

the img is broken btw

yes
