World A New Class: Engineer/mechanic (idea)

Hello there, Wynners!

I was thinking of a new class, when i thought of a close range shotgun character.
The concept is: You have a Mechanical gun/cannon that will shoot like a shotgun.
For clarification, yes you can shoot at ranged, but it'l do less damage than close by.
The gun would look something like an ordinary cannon.
Just put a couple of cogs on it and make it smaller and there you have it.
You will shoot with right mouse button, not with left.


The first ability would be:
Bomb Shower Left-Right-Left
8 Mana

Tier 1
When activated, bombs will get trown into the air for about 2-3 seconds, after this they will fall down and create explosions. If you're at full health, you can't immidiatly die to this if you just stand still, if you decide to move around to the bombs however, you'll most likely die.

Tier 2
The bombs will now cover a larger area, but it will last 0.5 seconds longer to actually fall.

Tier 3
When a bomb does however fall on you and explode, it'l now give you blindness for a couple of seconds (1-1.5). Do be carefull though, if you're hit by one of them, you'll gain blindness too! You're body ain't flash proof.

Rocket Leap Left-Left-Left
3 Mana

Tier 1
Depending where you look, you will be launched forward to that direction, this ability can be used only on land. (You can launch yourself straight into the sky) When used, you'll fly like a rocket to that direction, though: You cannot move until the ability runs out.

Tier 2
When launched, this will create an explosion there, but it will hurt yourself and enemys too. So be carefull, this isn't an ability to use when you're low on health and you're trying to escape.

Tier 3
When you've been launched, you can actually move in the air while the ability is still activated. The ability will last 0.5 seconds longer, causing you to fly further.


Time-Bomb Left-Right-Right
8 Mana

Tier 1
When you place this, it will place the bomb at your feet. The bomb will explode after 5 seconds. this will inflict area damage.

Tier 2
The explosion will now cause knockback, and the timer is reduced by 0.5 seconds. IF you stand on this bomb, you will get pushed into the air, you can use this as a transport way if needed.

Tier 3
The Time-Bomb will now suck people towards it before exploding, the pull is small and will not be mayor. You will be pulled too, and items will be pulled too.


Armored Left-Left-Right
7 Mana

Tier 1
Everybody around you, and yourself, will temporarely get 15% extra MAXHP. For example, if one has 10000 HP, and this ability would be activated, he'd have 11500 HP for a set amount of time. (Most likely 1 minute) This is balanced, so that if a level 40 archer comes around(with about 2000HP) and you give him the ability, they will only have 2300HP.

Tier 2
The people around you will now also get resistance.

Tier 3
The people around you, and yourself, will now get 20% extra MAXHP for a longer amount of time (1min30sec). For example, if somebody has 10000 HP, he'll then have 12000 for that set amount of time. This is balanced, so that if a level 40 archer comes around(with about 2000HP) and you give him the ability, they will only have 2400HP.




Any ideas?

Thanks for reading!


Goals:
*5 people find it a good idea :D
15 people that find it a good idea (no)
20 people that want it (no)
50 people that want it (no)
More than 75 people (no)

 

AMAZING!But it needs some detail about weapons,the mana that u use to cast spells and more.. But it is a nice idea,+1 supporter

 

i'll add that, thanks for the support!

 

nope nope nope

way too op if they use a water build

rip statue

 

Any idea's on how to change it?

 

A: make rocket jump land only
B: make rocket jump damage the user a bit (more realistic)
C: remove the kb because with the number of hits that would deal (fast fire with knockback) would just be buggy and overpowered
D: make it not pull people in because statue builds focus on having over -300% ws (rough estimate) to gain massive boosts to hp and defense and so having a pull would make a hit from that a certainty

 

Alright, the pull i will not change, but i wil tell that the pull is small, not like you cant even run away as a normal build, thanks about the feedback!

 

abillities and playstyle really similar to archer

 

It isn't actually, it's really close ranged and support overall.

 

why would you make a ranged character that excels at close range thats really poor planning

 

Otherwise it'd be too OP if this character would be far ranged, and as Red Dragon said, it'd be too much of an archer.
The reason why it isn't melee is because it wouldn't fit with these abilities.

 

This is good but without more detail it will never get to Wynn, improve the quality of your post and the admins might notice it.

 

great but needs more details
btw we need a new origin for this class as it seems to be corkus fighters
maybe a training on corkus for trials and when u finish it you get to ragni i guess...?

 

This is a good suggestion, however it needs much more detail. Also, I noticed a few faults.

First, though I like the class idea, the only thing in Wynncraft that is steampunk is Corkus, and the player isn't from Corkus.

Second, many of the spells relate very closely to preexisting spells from other classes. Haywire seems very much like Arrow Storm from archer, as it rapidly attacks the enemies with less damage than usual. The only difference I can see is that it is closer range. Rocket Leap is, in essence, a combination of archer's Escape and warrior's Charge, however that isn't very bad as most movement spells (exculding Vanish from assassin) serve a similar purpose. Time-Bomb acts as Smoke Bomb from assassin, except that you place it instead of throwing it, and it has a timer. Armored seems to be similar to War Scream from warrior, but instead of strength it gives health, somewhat like heal, except in a different way.

Other than the similarities between preexisting spells and these new ones, I quite like the idea. Adding more detail and tweaking the spells would make this a great suggestion. Thank you for taking the time to make this thread!

 

The amount of max hp should probably be % based, like 10% and later 15-20% or something, otherwise you could give 500hp to some level 5 archer.

 

Spell 1: Rpi off from Arrow Storm
Spell 2: Rip off from Leap
Spell 3: Same idea as smokebomb
Spell 4: Warscream but weaker?

 

Thank you for the support and suggestions!
And indeed, it needs more detail, but i'm not sure what to add.

You're right about that the player isn't from Corkus, they are actually from Fruma, my idea was: The people from Corkus escaped from Fruma, so in one way this meant that the people in Fruma once were steampunk too.

I may add some changes to the first ability, becaue yor right it seems too much like arrow storm.

This seems like a really good idea, thanks for the suggestion!

 

I'm not sure why I'm just a little iffy about this class, maybe it's cause it uses a gun but I just don't like it for some reason.

Also this seems like , Tracer, sym, and Road hog put together with junkrats explosion boost.

 

Don't start mixing games together mate xD

 

Hmmm.. where have I heard of a character with a shotgun, mechanical guns, or maybe sentry-like weapons? :P engie main ftw

And I'm a little confused.
Is the "mechanical gun/cannon" an actual physical build, or an item?
And for the armored spell, does it also effect you, or just other people?
The spells and regular attacks are also different. Spells are more close-ranged, and regular attacks are ranged, as the weapon is a gun if I am understanding this. While this does grant the class both ranged and close-ranged capabilities, this also means that ranged attacks will be weaker, as spells are usually deal the most damage.
