A Shield Wielding Class

Swordsman class

The swordsman would carry a sword (one handed sword can still be long for asthetics) and a shield the shield can be used to negate a certain % of enemy spells and dmg and while using the shield it will give you a slowness effect (its not that high) the swordsman class shield is also usualy very heavy causing the swordsman to be slower than other classes this is why having an archer accompany you is nice in combat shields would have a speed debuff of about -15 to -60 walk speed (depending on shield) the heavier the shields are the more dmg they would negate while the lighter shields allow for more movement and still decent dmg negation 30 to 50 % dmg blocked while heavier shields can block from 50 to 80% dmg (shield is dequipable if you need to travel) having the shield equipped also slows down your attack speed for your sword (depending on light or heavy shields it will slow down the attack speed more)



The sword will have medium attack speed and high dmg to make up for the debuffs from the shield

additional notes for the attack

for this spell to be effective it requires good control over what your doing as you can very quickly be swarmed by multiple mobs while you are unable to move

slash Shift+ right+left+right click

lvl 1 costs 5 mana to use

the attack has a cone of 45 degrees to each side and will deal 180% dmg range is the same as your melee weapon

tier 2
lvl 16 costs 5 mana to use

the attack keeps its cone of 45 degrees to each side and now deals 210% dmg and will now give slowness to whatever it hits for 1 second

tier 3
lvl 36 costs 5 mana to use

An attack that cuts a cone about 45 degrees to each side of where you activate the spell the spell will deal 250% the dmg of your main weapon the range of the cone outwards from where your standing is the same as your melee weapons hit range so its very short ranged the attack will also have slight knockback and give slowness for 1 second

Additional notes on the attack

this attack mainly deals wind elemental dmg so enemies whit high wind elemental defence can easely counter this shield


since the shield and sword block both right click and left click for spell activation i have thought if it is possible to do a Shift + the spell combination you want to use so pressing shift plus left click or right click will bring up the spell activation bar where as pressing right or left click will not in itself and you have to hold down shift while starting a spell combination

im not sure if this is possible whitout changing it for every class if a coder or moderater could tell me it would be nice

all feedback is appreciated and if you have suggestions for making it more balanced or other stuff i will gladly look at it :>


the reskinned version will be called the crusader and have reskinned attacks

 

spell tiers and combat statistics
you also need a vip reskin

 

true il work on that
thanks for the advice :>

when you mean combat statistics what do you mean ?

 

a skill that would be cool, Rusher: (i dont care about what to click xd)
this skill will remove your shield completly wich would be -100% defense but would give you an speed/attack buff 300%... this spell will be runing for about 1 minute. and avrage mana usage

 

Wall of text, unappealing, add TL;DR please
And poll please

 

I don't really like it, I think the spells should be actual attacks not just buffs, and doesn't this spell just debuff you as all the mobs can swarm you while you can't move?

Spell two has to be a movement spell.

This is the earth powder spell right?

A little overpowered, not very original either. It just seems like a combo of arrow shield and spin attack.

@yornthegamer Am I doing it right?

 

Yay something to roast again!

1: Your intro:
I see no punctuation at all, this is super annoying to read. I'll note things that could be improved:
Why does it need a shield? If you need that then just +1 SaltyPhox's Shielder suggestion. How will it be slowed down? How will the shield work? There is no base attack speed or damage for weapons. Use the 13 point stats, better than that. How will shields negate different amounts of damage? Will you need to block with the shield to negate this said damage?

2: Spell 1:
I see you did not put your spells in order. I see your second is your first. Change this. Range same as melee weapon? Speaking of, what is this the range of this class? Add that at the very least. For the rest, balanced enough. If I could see what happens in the third tier? Unreadable. And how potent is the slowness?

3: Spell 2:
I see you did not put your spells in order. I see your first is your second. Change this. Also the second spell is a transport spell, not the case here. Remove and replace the spell A.S.A.P. Won't even give further critique than this until it has been fixed.

4: Spell 3:
Okay spell, or wait. It is litterally the earth weapon special. Remove and replace the spell A.S.A.P. Won't even give further critique than this until it has been fixed.

5: Spell 4:
Awful spell. Overpowered. +2 tiers is frankly super overpowered. Also having a constant shield for over half a minute is not overpowered at all. Just kidding. Remove and replace the spell A.S.A.P. Won't even give further critique than this until it has been fixed.

________________________________

No you are not doing it right. He just put his spells in the wrong order. The critique is good further.

 

ok i i have taken the critism into account wich was very helpfull although one thing i probably cant improve on is the grammar (im not English or American or from a country that speaks much English) and i will be redoing all of the spells and going more in depth whit some of the other stuff and fixing the spell order

i will also be going into more detail on the shield and weapons

 

English isn't my native language either but using the knowledge I get from Dutch(my native language) I can already use basic punctuation. As far as I know the punctuation in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian and many other languages is basically the same

 

I've seen many class idea threads. We don't need anymore classes, especially more melee.
