i can't manage to slog through this whole thing so i'm just going to tell you that your second spell needs to be a movement spell, which it isn't

 

To my knowledge, no other basic attacks have hit or miss varients. I like the concept, but it doesn't fit. And why does the melee attack not just do 100% weapon damage? I mean, it's your basic attack...

Define what "confused" actually means

Any spell that changes your stats doesn't quite fit, and I don't think enemy mobs have stats...

Making the user immortal for 2 seconds is hella OP

Also, for the thing, define what exactly happens? Does the user turn invisible (and for how long), teleport behind target entity, and get turned around 180 degrees or something? It's unclear.

I was gonna say how any self-harm spells would't really fit, but then I actually read it. HOLY SH*T 50% of the user's max hp? WTF? No way, that's insane harm. And, users cant use it below half health. Just... NO

---

Conclusion:

I thought I would dislike the concept, but I rather like it. Just... the machanics are all wack.

Also, I like the dagger idea (You can always tell how powerful a mage is but their focus. Only the weak ones use staffs or wands) but do you mean it's the same items as assassins?

 

Thank you for the feedback, I will change the stats accordingly. However, that will take a while, because finals... Hopefully I can finish within the 7 hours I am there.
As for standard attacks, the blade does part spell damage as if the deciever cursed it.

________________________________

I will change that then, thank you for the feedback!

 

It still should add up to 100%

 

Changed everything you have mentioned, please check the edits section in the bottom of the main post

 

Before I grade this later tomorrow, I would like to say that this Class has to be available to everyone. It cannot have VIP+ only according to EULA rules. From skimming this, it is not a reskinned class.

 

I am glad you have looked at my suggestion, and I would like to say that I also wish for this class to be available to everyone. However I would also like the requirement to use the class as having a level 45-50 mage in your character selection screen, to fit with the lore.

 

You read it incorrectly, I believe. The requirement is a level 45 mage class, and I believe non-VIPs have the ability to play multiple classes, so this IS possible for non-VIPs. The only VIP part is, of course, the reskin.

________________________________

K, here we go:

Stats, please? 1/4? 2/4?

Thunder is typically used for darkness stuff, but the mix works too

Better, but why does the player gain speed? Is there a reason? And does the spell apply on cast, or only upon hit? I'm assuming upon cast, just wanted to clarify. Overall, looks better.

Half a second for the immortality is much more balanced, and the detailed description is better.

Much better. Two complaints. Firstly, what defines stun? Is it like ice snake where they can't move? Or what? Secondly, you seem to have removed the healing part (which actually was a nice touch) yet still mention the healing in Grade 3?

Much better. I still am not completly sold in the idea of self-harm, but the amount lowering as you level is nice. And it being CURRENT hp and not MAXIMUM hp makes a big difference.

 

For lifesteal, and thanks for pointing that out, that will be described as lifesteal bonus from gear.
The player gains speed when using illusion so they can take advantage of the time that they have, applying upon cast.
To define stun, the enemy cannot move or attack, as if they are in a daze or unable to attack. I may have removed the healing part by accident, I will add that in the edits.
If the amount of hp lost is too much, some suggestions for numbers would be nice.

Edit: Changes added under Edit #2

 

Still needs a number if that's an actual feature of the class. As it's a basic attack feature, I would just remove it.

k

Please make that clear in the post

k

Yeah... I can't do numbers for sh*t. Sorry.

 

I will make it clear how stun works, and remove the lifesteal feature from the general description. Adding you to the title as a shoutout, you have been more of a help to this class than I would have imagined!
