Prestige Classes - Hierarch

Prestige classes are quite common among RPG games, and while the classes available in Wynn right now does cover most players with different playstyles, I would like to see new classes being added to the game, just for the extra variety.

Prestige classes are unlocked upon reaching level 100 with a class, while the default classes are more well-rounded with their abilities, prestige classes are more specified classes with more unique abilities and comes with a passive, I plan to make suggestions for all 4 prestige classes. Starting off with Hierarch, Mage’s prestige, the exiled, sinned, who embraces demonic forces, drawing power from the lamenting souls. While mages harnesses divine power, the Hierarch rules magic through angst, vengeance and sacrifices. The Hierarch brings light to the lost ones, and strikes fury in the hearts of despair, with his demonic rituals, he and his disciples shall not be stopped.

It would be better to just add this as a new class not a prestige class as it would basically take the same amount of effort as one. You should also add some lore.

 

Just doing a quick read, this class feels insanely broken. Maybe my point's not really valid since I'm not a professional game designer and I'm too lazy to justify my opinion, but I really do get that first impression.

It also doesn't have nice variety with skill sets, although as you said this is probably intended. As far as I can see it's mainly a broken protective support that relies on LS/agility to stay alive. It kind of just introduces something super powerful to the game without providing room for any real creativity.

I'm sorry I sound so negative, I'm just like this, please don't take it too seriously.

 

His life stealing capability is to help Hierarch control his health, as he rewards players for taking risks and casts spells with precise timing. He is very powerful yes, but only when he is vulnerable, and his kit is designed around having synergies with other abilities.

On the other hand, I do feel like his passive sort of acts as his life saver, even at around 20% HP he is already extremely tanky with 80% damage reduction, I might change it up(feel free to give me passive ideas!), and tone down some buffing stats as well, but thanks for the feedback anyways!
