    Wow, I just posted like 10 mintues ago!
    I know, I'm over enthusiastic lol.

    Anyway, here's the new class:
    (It's probably absurdly OP)

    NECROMANCER
    --------------------------------------------
    Class Description: Why fight yourself when you can have others fight for you? The necromancer never like getting his own hands dirty, so he summons the dead to fight. Although the necromancer can summon an army, without the dead fighting for him, he is very frail and week. Keeping a safe distance while letting your minions do the work is key in playing this class.


    MAIN ATTACK: (Left Click) Summon a direct-line, AoE damaging skull (1.5 block radius? if possible). 100% of Weapon Damage.

    SPELL 1: Rise, the Undead! (12 Mana)
    Summons Skeletons and Zombies to fight for you.
    GRADE 1: Summons 2 Zombies and 2 Skeletons, each lasting 5 Seconds. 75% Damage (of weapon)
    GRADE 2: Summons 4 Zombies and 4 Skeletons, each lasting 7 Seconds. 80% Damage (of weapon) and 10% Bonus Earth Damage
    GRADE 3: Summons 5 Zombies and 5 Skeletons, each lasting 9 Seconds. 85% Damage (of weapon) and 15% Bonus Earth Damage.

    Spell 2: Undead Wall (8 Mana)
    Summons Undead from the ground up to obstruct the enemies path. Shoots in a straight line, impact block is center of the wall. (No base damage)
    GRADE 1: 5 Blocks Wide, 1 Block Thick.
    GRADE 2: 7 Blocks Wide, 3 Blocks Thick. Enemies within a certain radius gets knocked back (3 blocks) and slowed (Slowness 1).
    GRADE 3: 7 Blocks Wide, 5 Blocks Thick. Enemies within a certain radius get damaged knocked up into the air. +30 Air Damage.

    Spell 3: Undead Roots (10 Mana)
    Calls upon the Undead from the ground to latch onto all enemies in a certain radius AROUND THE PLAYER each second.
    GRADE 1: Damages enemies in the radius. 3 Second duration. 40% Damage (of weapon) per second.
    GRADE 2: Snares enemies in the radius. 4 Second duration. 40% Damage (of weapon) per second.
    GRADE 3: Drain the life from them, gaining life based on damage dealt. 6 Second duration. 40% Damage (of weapon) per second and 10% Life Steal (based on damage). Bonus 5% Earth Damage.

    Spell 4: Undead King (20 Mana)
    Turn into the King of the Underworld, summoning the Undead around you and drain life from nearby enemies each second, but get Slowed severely (great grammar).
    GRADE 1: Summons 2 Skeletons and 2 Zombies every 3 Seconds and Drains Life (2% Life Missing) from nearby enemies. 9 Second duartion.
    GRADE 2: Summons 3 Skeletons and 3 Zombies every 3 Seconds and Slows (Slowness 2) nearby enemies. 12 Second Duration. Bonus 5% Earth Damage.
    GRADE 3: After the effect, stun all enemies remaining in the area for 2 Seconds.

    Thanks for reading!

    Before I even read the spells... If you are suggesting something you go all the way. You don't just leave it for the staff.
    [After reading]
    Also what about a movement spell?
    And what about basic items?

    Well first of all, I have no idea how to code this stuff and second of all, the Devs have experience with balancing and I don't. I just give them the gist of the spells.

    As for movement, instead of movement, he has obstruction and slow/snare and whatnot.
    Basic items, I really don't know. I'd have to list ALOT of items, if that's what you meant

    To provide a bit more detail to this format, here are some examples of existing classes and their spells:

    Warrior:
    - Bash (Basic)
    - Charge (Movement)
    - Uppercut (Damage)
    - War Scream (Utility)

    Archer:
    - Arrow Storm (Basic)
    - Escape (Movement)
    - Bomb Arrow (Damage)
    - Arrow Shield (Utility)

    Etc.
    Generally, all classes --and therefore, class suggestions-- follow this theme, since it creates a well-balanced class. I understand that you substituted mobility for a spell that hinders the enemy's mobility instead, but most players enjoy using their mobility spell as just that. Mobility. I see Teleport and Charge used more out-of-combat than inside it. Just my thoughts on the spell format overall.

    Aside from that, I agree with the first commenter. Even if you don't know the coding and such, you can still give estimations of damage and how the damage or cost changes on each upgrade. If you accidentally set it too high or low, then try to adjust it based on the feedback from the comments. In time, you'll get the feel for it and maybe come up with some really popular suggestions, but you need to try to put forth the effort first.

    I think it's a really cool concept, especially since your suggestion is focusing almost solely on the aspect of controlling minions. Although I think it might summon a bit too many. Regardless, it's an interesting iteration of the idea. Only other suggestion I can think of is to try and use bullet points or lists to better format the post and make it easier for viewers to read. I apologize if any of this sounds rude or anything, just trying to help you improve your posts and suggestions. Good luck with the suggestion!

    You should add the name of the class that you have created in the title.

    I normally like necromancer kit in different games, but it would not fit in wynncraft
    (my opinion)

    Doesn't fit with the lore. We're meant to be fighting the undead in Wynn, not allying with them. In Gavel there is no undeath.

    I made a summoning class, but I realized that there could be way too many problems, so I would suggest people to generally stay away from such things as "raising minions"
    Complications like lag and confusion on what belongs to who and stuff.
    You could always control them, but for only a short time would be my guess.
    nerd? is that an insult?
