Prestige Classes - Heres To More Grinding And Farming! (part 1 : Assassin Prestige)

Upon reaching level 100 with a class, a Prestige Class will become available at the class creation menu depending on which class you've reached level 100 with, with each class having its respective prestige form.

Prestige classes uses the fundamental playstyles of its default counterparts, but is usually equipped for a different role with more unique abilities (e.g. Assassin's prestige, Deceiver is geared towards enemy confusion and manipulation). Using the same weapons as their original counterparts, Prestige classes further expands build varieties as one single weapon can be used on two different classes with different specializations.

Without further ado, here's my concept for Assassin's crafty, cunning twin, the Deceiver!

Without light, there is no shadow; Without truth, there is no lie.

'Hmm... the Deceiver, you say? '
'That's what I heard from y'all folks, if that is his real name. '
'Hehe... the Deceiver ay? No one knows his real name, his story, his occupation...'
The old bookstore owner takes a seat right next to the shelves, searching for the unspoken name among the warriors of the province.
'The only thing we know about him, is that he is always watching, be it us or the foul beasts coming out from the portal.'
He reaches out for the tanned book atop the shelf, placing his hand over his mouth and nose as he grabs the book, he invited the young adventurer to read with him.
'This is...'
'The only thing he wanted us to know.'

The young adventurer started flipping through the pages; it is about a prosperous province, an uncharted utopia of order and monarchy, and a wondering warrior, led astray by war, separated from his homelands...
'I have been researching about the mysterious language used in this book for many years, yet there is so little information about this ancient language. I have only managed to translate half of the book's content.'
'Did...uh..."he", wrote this book?'
The owner appears to be in deep thought, staring out the window, in search for distant, fractured memory shards scattered across the azure skies.
'Back when I was still managing a bookstore in Ragni, he once visited my store disguised as a young traveler like you, he asked me to take good care of this book for him and rushed out of the store. Before I could ask, he was nowhere to be seen when I chased out of the bookstore!'
Something brought his attention back to his room, together with his mind.
'I brought it with me all the way here when I was moving into Troms, whether he wrote this book or not, I'm afraid there simply isn't an answer."
He looked at the young traveler who buried himself deep inside the book, the traveler seems to be understanding more than he does, does he know the mysterious language used in the book? Who is he?

'Well, this has been a good insight into the elusive Deceiver,'
Before he could ask him the myriad of questions he got, the traveler stood up and closed the book.
'It's been great knowing history that we never knew existed!'
'You're welcome, come back anytime!'

As the traveler is leaving, he put the book back on top of the shelf...
Insight...history we never knew existed...
He takes it back down, and starts going through the book.
'Prosperous, uncharted province...led astray by war...'
He chases out the bookstore, only to see the young traveler fade out of existence, leaving behind only a small piece of paper and a dagger. He picks up the dagger and the paper, it reads :

'What is behind the disguise of prosperity, shall be unveiled when the fractured world is coalesced by the end of war.'

=====
TL;DR 1st is a blinding slash ability that also moves you, 2nd is a powerful swap that is used to increase damage enemy takes and distract them, 3rd summons clones that mimics your attacks and explode upon death, and 4th allows you to use other player's abilities to retaliate, or to make monsters use your abilities.

Feel free to comment down your opinion on the class, I will be working on the other 4 prestige classes to make this idea complete but I'll try my best to improve on this one as well

Sending out clones in Wynncraft doesn’t sound it’s the easiest thing to do

 

I'm getting LoL Zed vibes...

The concept of prestige classes seems interesting. I wouldn't say this is the ideal Assassin prestige class I would support, but a proof-of-concept or example of a prestige class is very nice.
Seems pretty well thought out, nice job!

Nice idea. Also add poll

 

"'Hmm... the Deceiver, you say? '
'That's what I heard from y'all folks, if that is his real name. '
'Hehe... the Deceiver ay? No one knows his real name, his story, his occupation...'"

This is some Stephen King tier writing I have to say

 

Poll added. Thanks for the positive responses!

Shaman prestige (fortuneteller) is probably up next, though I will still come back to this page to improve on suggestions made about the class.

 

Good concept, but I think time would be better spent on entire new classes.
