"fun" Class Idea : Diviner

This is a work of mine when I was so very bored that I was literally about to play minesweeper on my computer,so…enjoy!

And also,the thread looks better on the starry night theme
-------
Diviner,the mythical,vigilant and sacred,is a bastion with a berserker's heart. Featuring both offensive and defensive spells,Diviner is considered as an all-rounder,but still does them excellently. However,while focusing on one role,Diviner sacrifices the capability of the opposing role,making him a rather extreme class that constantly swaps between offensive and defensive roles. On the right hand,Diviner is extremely powerful and versatile. Diviner is unlocked after the completion of a hidden quest(I guess it's something similar to ??? quest?) and uses maces and shields as his main weapon(due to this,Diviner is probably a 1.9+ class)

Class Info
Class Name : Diviner
Unlock : Hidden
Weapon : Mace & Shield
Health : 100%
Armor : 80%
Description :

With mythical vessels and extreme skills on combatting,Diviner conquers all enemies he sees with his mace of destruction and an impenetrable shield,Aegis​

=====
Stats
Offensive :
Damage : [] [] [] [] [] []

High damage,high mobility together with an insanely powerful power-up spell,Diviner is one of the most powerful warrior with sheer destruction power​

Defence : [] [] [] [] []

Although with superior offensive capabilities,Diviner sacrifices defensive capabilities while being a great damage dealer. Featuring spells that decreases Diviner's survivability furthermore,Diviner isn't the easiest class to play​

Spell : [] [] [] [] []

With a decent amount of buffs and supportive usage,Diviner can also be versatile in terms of supportive and offensive usages​

Range : [] [] [] [] []

Diviner does have some nice range on his abilities,allowing him to reach out to enemies and quickly draw distance from any potential threats​

-------
Defensive :
Damage : [] [] [] [] []

Unlike the offensive side of Diviner,this side of him clmpletely sacrifices any offensive potential and have nearly no damaging methods,which may also prove tricky to play​

Defence : [] [] [] [] [] [] []

The defensive side of Diviner is pretty much an absolute tank. With highly defensive spells,knockbacks and a ridiculous 99% damage reduction,Diviner may also be a bastion of his friends​

Spell : [] [] [] [] []

Just like the offensive side,Diviner on defence also has some buff spells and supportive usages to his abilities​

Range : [] [] [] [] []

Being mainly a tank,Diviner on defence doesn't have an awful lot of range. Most of his spells are mid-ranged. Moreover,these spells will slow Diviner down while active,making him basically with no movement capabilities.​

=====
Abilities
Passive :
Mace and Shield - Lvl 0

After casting offensive spells,Diviner will wield swords as his main weapon,dealing 100% weapon damage and has a range of 3 blocks. After casting defensive spells,Diviner wields shields as his main weapon,dealing 40% weapon damage,but can also block by holding down the left mouse button. Blocking reduces all incoming damage from in front by 12% and cut stun durations received in half. Diviner wields swords as his default weapon and switching weapons inverts his wielding weapon back to swords. For players using 1.8 or older versions,I guess it will have to be that you receive less damage while wielding shields​

I guess this class is kinda cool,and slightly overpowered
And yes,the lore is gone again,lazy me

Also,you can give me some ideas or comments on what do you think about Diviner and any space for improvements,CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms are always great for the development of these class ideas,and boi I have to highlight that word. Finally,I apologise for my extremely bad English as I might have just triggered a bunch of grammar nazis out there…

 

Traditionally, swords don't match wynn's customs

 

Why

 

Assassin already uses swords.

 

Swords & SHIELD

 

Also, how would you get a shield (like, a texture for one ingame) without Wynncraft switching fully to 1.9?

________________________________

Dude, that doesn't prove anything. I don't know what you're getting at here.

 

For 1.8 or older users,they would probably have to block with their swords and the description of the spells would probably change

________________________________

And it's not like that I'll give my Diviner a gun to use,they are a set of weapons,not just one single weapon,as his spells are double sided,his weapon is also double sided and what fits better with a shield and a sword/spear?

Oh wait I know
A mace

 

As a side note, I believe there are 20 ticks per second. This would place your 1st spell at 80% damage/second. The spell lasts for 3, so 240% damage.

 

Isn't it 10 ticks per second?

Anyway if that's the case,I would definitely lower the damage,thanks for noting

 

How would they block? Traditionally, in Minecraft, blocking is initiated by a right click (this applies to 1.9+ as well). But right click is already used to start spells.

________________________________

Huh? Actually, a gunslinger would be pretty cool.
But I don't really understand what you're saying here...
And an axe would fit with a shield as well. All classes have only 1 weapon that they use, not 2 (or 1.5.. because it's a shield).

________________________________

Well, t1 smoke bomb does 600% damage (60% dmg/half second, spell lasts for 5 seconds).

I also don't understand how petrify turned into a living thing (Gorgon). All other classes just use t1, t2, and t3 without changing the name of the spell.
And your second spell looks a lot like charge. It also costs considerably more (but I guess 2 mana for [at t1] knockback and +30% damage makes sense). I also don't know why it is categorized as an "offensive" spell as all R-R-R (or L-L-L for archer) spells are movement spells.

 

So you don't like swords
That's fine I've changed it to maces

And now it's apparently not ok for a class to be a little bit more special and uses a set of weapons instead of one single weapon.

 

No, I like them. It's just that no other class has used a weapon that other classes use.

________________________________

I never said it was not ok. I just was wondering how you'd do it, as the current block mechanic in Minecraft calls for something that cannot be implemented in Wynncraft due to spells.

________________________________

Ok.
As a side note (you don't have to heed this), but maces are traditionally used to bash on someone's armor until it caves in. Or something (hey, you could bash someone's skull in! What a happy thought! /s). It would be cool if there are more earth (strength) weapons, as that would make sense (hence the whole "bashing something in" thing..)

 

For the Gorgon upgrade,it's something about the lore of Aegis,for that I'm not gonna spend hours explaining that when you can go search it yourself

For Assault,yes it's basically a charge with a built in combo counter. The description of offensive and defensive spells aren't exactly the description of the spell,they are to note you what weapon will Diviner wield after casting the spell. Also,in my opinion mobility spells are considered as offensive spells,as they allow you to quickly close up the range and engage enemies

And no,I didn't change the name of the spells

________________________________

Hmm…
Well I've thought about this issue when I was making the class too,and honestly,I guess that the closest thing we get is to change Blocking into a passive where you receive less damage when wielding shields

 

Yes, I vaguely know the story (something to do with Athena, and her shield which petrifies people b/c it has medusa's head on it), but that doesn't change the fact that it would be different. All classes don't change the spell name, as that would be very confusing to new players (I mean.. "omg i just got a new spell.. but it's the same as the other one..?"). Not to mention the values set to the spells (I mean, it would just be easier to do "Petrify3" as a data tag [or something, idk a lot about coding]) rather than "Gorgon." It makes sure you remember what the spell is without remembering too much).

Please make this clearer, as this might lead to another misunderstanding.
In my opinion, Assault should be connected to the shield (so a "defensive" spell) as I personally think it is easier to throw enemies aside with a shield.

________________________________

Right, that makes sense.
I think it would be cool if there was a blocking mechanic, as that would make combat so much more interesting.

 

Well I mean they are the name of the upgrades,Petrify is still Petrify at tier III

For Assault,I think that it would be better for it to be an offensive spell. If it was a defensive one,the player would be using shields every time he casts a spell until level 21,and dealing 40% of the weapon's base damage all the time isn't really that fun,so I think it'd be better off as an offensive spell
Also,since now we're using maces,smashing someone's face so hard that they get knocked back is way cooler than bashing someone with a shield

 

That would kill them.
Jk, it is an RPG, you can't expect to instakill everything. Actually, it would make sense if spells were initiated (well the first 3) with the shield yet all of the melee attacks use the mace. Your third spell is like a reward - now that you're lvl 31, you're finally skilled enough to use your mace for spells.

 

Well,having 3 defensive spells and only one offensive one doesn't really balance out,as Diviner is a double sided class,and I don't see how difficult it is to use a mace

Also,Assault is quite damaging once the combo counter starts to build up,and it's not very defensive I'd say

 

Well you don't have to be defensive with a shield, do you? You're the one who put limiting "offensive" and "defensive" tags on your spells.

 

Thats why it's not a starting class, it's a special art only gifted to a few from the gods.

 

Behold the sacred power,thy Diviner shall slam with his mace(actually,I guess both sword and mace works for him)
