Bruiser Class Idea

Im not sure if I like the name. Im thinking "bruiser" or "gauntlet expert".

Weapon type: Gauntlets

Ability 1: Next attack does additional damage, at highest level, the next attack also knocks back. Mana cost:5

Ability 2: Slow yourself by 30%, but become invulnerable from melee attacks for 1 second, (+0.1s of invulnerability for every nearby aggro'ed enemy, for a maximum of (idk how many seconds)). At the highest level, deal damage based on how long you have been invulnerable. Mana cost: 7

Ability 3: Throw your gauntlets out and grab the first thing, propelling you forward. This works with terrain and enemies, as well as allies. At highest level, this dash deals impact damage and gives you a small jump boost. Mana cost: 6

Ability 4:Deal 75%(?) less damage, slow yourself by 50%(this slow will stack with your ability 2, for a possible maximum slow of 80%), INCREASE life steal by 10% and increase resistances by 75%(?). This ability will work similar to how the ninja's mana works on his dash, draining mana and making it require more and more mana as more time goes on, spent in this form. However, by trading off your damage and mobility, your dash (gauntlet throw) costs 50% reduced mana, and you cannot be affected by any negative debuffs (i.e. poison). Additionally, at the highest level, being in this form will allow the knock backs caused by your ability 1 to be even greater. Any negative debuffs you receive in this time will be reflected onto your opponent. And 50% of the damage caused by RANGED attacks or projectiles will be redirected to you. Mana cost: 10+2/sec

Let me know what you guys think. Honestly I just created a forum account to post this and I don't expect much lol.

 

Could you add a poll, the base stats, the actual numbers and spell upgrades, and maybe some spell names?

Ability one seems decent, but more details are needed. 5 cost is pretty expensive for a single damage buff, and it takes 3 clicks to cast which would be expensive to dps at high attack speeds. This probably should be a strong buff or affect multiple attacks. I would also suggest making it effect spells. At this point it's basically vanish but no invis

Ability 2 probably won't work. Second spells are always a movement spell. This is the opposite. Also seems not that useful, since spells are usually the biggest damage sources in boss battles. Also 1 second isn't that long, especially for that cost. This spell probably should be replaced, or altered to give some form of mobility.

Ability 3 looks like a good second spell actually. Maybe replace ability 2 with this. (ability 2 would become spell 3, but should still be replaced because spell 3 is always a damage spell)

Ability 4 costs way too much for what it does. it's also way too complicated and doesn't really do much of use, considering you replace a spell's cost with a 2 mana/s drain.

All in all, this class looks like it wouldn't have many ways to deal damage, and mostly seems to focus on applying defense buffs to itself. it also lacks detail and doesn't seem to follow the patterns that other classes follow.

 

Needs more detail.

1) Spell names, vip spell names, and vip counterpart name
2) Lore would be nice, not necessary though
3) Spell number 1 wouldn't work, because of how the tutorial works. You have to break a boulder, so either you cast a spell to break it or heal the soldier so he can break it. This spell does neither, so it might need to be swapped with another spell. Also, you need to specificy a percentage of damage, and if it works on spell damage.
4) Spell number 2 also doesnt work. Second spell is always movement spell. Needs to be swapped with the third.

 

technically it could work by either the more powerful attack breaking the Boulder or knocking it back
