Class Idea: Rocketeer/pyromaniac

Intro:
The Rocketeer class would be a fighter who carries a boomstick and a variety of explosives into battle. It combines the solid strength and high defence of a Warrior with the high damage and range but low defene of an Archer to create a fairly strong class that can deal good damage and take decent punishment, and have great range, but not as much as a bow.

They wield boomsticks that fire small cannon balls shown as ender pearls, and have about as much range as throwing an egg. High, but not as high as a fully drawn arrow. The cannonballs create a small explosion on impact, dealing a little bit of AoE damage. Boomsticks fall under the Weaponsmithing profession, made with 2 Ingots and 1 Oil.

The reskinned class variant would be called Pyromaniac, and their boomsticks shoot fire charges like a Ghast rather than ender pearls.

So that's my idea for a new class. It would definitely need some reworking and balancing, but let me know what you think, if any stats should be changed, if the spells need improvement, and some better names for the weapon and spells.

 

I want more classes so yes, this looks good

 

I'm not good with balancing and stuff, so I'll say a few other things instead.
Is this weapon single use? Because it seems like you just throw it and it deals damage.
About the AoE damage, I'm not sure if this would work, because of the exploding Id for regular weapons.
Final thing, you need more. How does this class fit into the game, like how did it originate and such?

 

Uhh the R-R-L is supposed to be a debuff spell tho

 

It’s actually a utility spell, a buff/debuff combined with CC.

 

The weapon is like a bow, but shoots lower range projectiles. The AoE could instead be a bigger hitbox rather than an explosion.

As for the lore, I'll try to figure that out and add it in the post. I guess since it deals with more advanced weaponry, it could be Corkian? Or possibly a Fruman class since it doesn't really have much magic to it. Both of these reasons would be sufficient explanations for why Bob does not wield the weapon. Redbeard could be one of this classlike how Slykaar is now a Shaman, as it would fit with the pirate theme of cannons.

________________________________

That's a good point. I guess I could swap around the RLR and RRL spells and make Gunpowder more debuff-focused and have a bigger range. I'll change the mana costs too, so that your first spell is a little more spammable like the other classes.

 

btw this is a good class suggestion,is a yes from me
