New Class Idea?

Okay, so, I have an idea about a new class. I was playing with an elytra and I was thinking that it would kinda be a sick thing to have on this server, but maybe as a class? A few friends and I were coming up with ideas with this class and what it would be like (We were thinking more like a bird/dragon type thing?). So far, we have thought out the spells and the items it could hold:
1st spell: Claw grip (Earth + Thunder? Possibly a single or double hit spell? Emerald + Angry Villager effects)
2nd spell: Flying (No damage, and it would be a drain spell for balancing purposes. Level ups could allow the flight to be longer? Raindrops/Emerald/White smoke + Fire/Purple stars/black smoke effects)
3rd spell: Wing flap (Air damage spell, pushes opponents away)
4th spell: Ring of fire(or rebirth)/screech (we all cannot decide what it should be, but I'll go into some detail for each:
Ring of fire/Rebirth: A small radius ring of fire surrounds the player, burns anyone who enters, supplies defense to player and allies (Fire damage, fire/lava effects)
Screech: A verbal scream that does a wave of damage (Water + Air damage, critical hit effect?)

Some of the items that could be held and re-textured
Eggs, Feathers, Arrows?

I feel like this would be a very balanced class, so 3 boxes filled for all the criteria (Damage, Defense, Range, Spells).

 

I would not be against new classes existing, although in my opinion a new one would be quite unnecessary currently. Shaman was just added not even 5 months ago, and wynncrafts classes already take up many notable playstyles for action games. if a new class were to be added soon, it would need to be way more thought out so it doesn't end up like any other while still retaining a great degree of quality, while also not ruining any planned plot.

as for the design of the class, I don't really see it as something worth adding. both damage spells are a basic form of dealing damage and don't really open up any potential for creativity in how you play, you just cast them and it'll deal damage. as for Flying, it seems a bit bland compared to other movement spells right now. I believe all classes other than archer can fly by using their movement spell often enough, and generic flight wouldn't be all that interesting compared to something like that.
finally for the fourth spells, neither of these are all that interesting. Ring of Fire would be a unique buff spell certainly, although outside of that it's just another way of dealing damage. Screech from what I imagine of it wouldn't be much different from war scream and doesn't really flow well with the rest of the class design either.

 

Interesting idea, nice try!

I haven't seen claw grip or a flying class suggestion before to my surprise

 

I honestly didn't expect this class to be added randomly. I agree that it would be too soon since shaman was recently added and the plot is still developing. I was thinking that this would come into play when the plot of the server thickens. This was a scrambled idea from the beginning, so most of the kinks are still in existence.

I don't think flying is as mundane, because it would differ from the rest of the classes in its own unique way. Yes, flying can be possible with the other classes, but it takes a while to build up the intelligence for it all. This class would have it right off the bat, which is different to the others. The flying would also be more elongated compared to the other classes since the increase of intelligence would slow the drain of mana.

The spells are a bit of a stretch, but I appreciate the criticism that you provide in saying that these aren't as creative because you're right, it isnt. This suggestion is more of a founded idea and not a 110% idea. I'm not a part of the CT and I can't do half of the amazing things they do, but I had a small idea that has allowed this much to come into play.

 

" and the plot is still developing" - You can say that again lol, what plot?

Also you missed me out which was nice of you, I positively commented

 

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, but I do appreciate your nice comment. And I mean there isn't like a massive story or plot, but like there's things in the game that makes it all go together and explains things. Like all the lore and the wynn excavation sites were all tied and planned to come, so it shows that there is some sort of storyline/plot. I suppose plot isn't the right word to use since it doesn't follow the exact beginning middle and end.

 

It's a nice base, that I'm sure something can be made out from, but right now I don't believe it has... the legs to stand up yet. sadly reading through Flowers, s/he nailed everything. However maybe you could pull this ideal into a Golem class of some kind, or maybe a shapeshifting creature. Your abilities turn you into different animals/objects which would be pretty sweet. But yeah, thanks for sharing!

 

I can't wait to see a spell where it gives invulnerability to all damage and effects for all allies in a radius for 1 sec or something... Definitely not invulnerability for 1000000 secs though lmao

 

Oh it definitely does not have the legs to do anything! It was a pitched idea and with the criticism and other ideas projected, hopefully someone a part of the content team or just an overall higher up will see this and draw inspiration. Abilities would be crazy cool I absolutely agree with you! Maybe abilities could be added to the other classes too so it's interesting?

________________________________

There's an item that does that (sorta) and the vanish spell somewhat grants that as well. The whole effects for allies is what's different, I could see that as an idea too!

 

Yea, but the item effects are semi-invulnerability, and not fully though... So yeah, if it actually prevents you from being affected by spells such as Push/pull or multihit, I'd say that'd be great. Cause some of those boss fights though with push/pull spells get annoying af

 

Well...
Uuuh...
No wtf a new class has been added something like 5 month ago and this no-really-detailled class suggestion doesn't match with wynncraft in my opinion.
