Game Mechanics Class Idea: The Druid

The druid is a master at controlling the enemy. It's powerful plant sentries are able to surround groups and deal massive damage, and can be used in almost every situation. However, the druid itself is mediocre at best, so you must rely on your sentries as much as possible. Position your summons in the correct places to defeat the enemy.

Spoiler: But Potatomancer, isn't this just some dumb summoner class?

It isn't, because of one key difference. Instead of having an entire army behind you, the summons are either stationary or don't go far from it's starting position. This requires the player to strategically place their summons in the best possible places, instead of mindlessly summoning 1000 soldiers to beat up the eye. This should be possible, as seen with shaman totem.

Stats:
Attack: 4 Defense: 2 Range: 2 Spells: 5
All summons also despawn after 30 seconds if not attacked by a mob. Attacks increase the respawn timer by 1 second.

Spoiler: Basic Attack

The weapon for druid is called a seed pouch. The player summons a 3x3 circle of particles that damage mobs in it. What's special about this basic attack is that when used near a sentry, it would be healed by 1%. That same sentry can't be healed again for 5 seconds.

Spoiler: Spell 1

Summon Treent or Ancient Peon: Summons a Treent warrior (or ancient soldier) that spawns with 10% of your max health rounded down, and will attack mobs in a 5x5 area. Will return to it's starting position if it get's out of it's range. Shifting instead summons a stationary Treent archer (or ancient archer) at your position which shoots mobs in a 15x15 area. Shoots every second. There can only be 5 Treents summoned at the same time.

Critism appreciated.

 

Don't forget the lore

________________________________

Also, maybe you can add a timer to the summons, because if they can only be destroyed by killing them, that's kind of op.

 

stats should equal 13

having a spell that lets you deal quick damage and be spammed would be nice.

 

The top part is the lore. Also:

Will change the stats. Also, the first upgrade of summon treent kinda does that for you.

 

nice suggestion it would be cool to have a summoning class in Wynncraft.

 

i could get behind this. i like the hellenic theme of the necromancer.

 

IMO should be defense:2, spells: 5 attack:4, and range:2 but thats just me
