Custom class idea - Vanguard

So basically I somehow ended up on the forums and finding a post by @matteo000 and got a little inspired by his Warlord class. Personally, there were two things that stood out to me as possible issues: I don't know how well spell charging would work (with Right click being held, anyway) and just this feeling (very subjective, yes) that axes were already in Warriors' domain.

I wanted to create something that would appeal to me but also fit in its own unique way into Wynncraft.
Please note this is a just-for-fun concept, not really something I expect to see in-game.
Also I have no experience balancing games; I just loosely based costs/damage around some of the nodes in other classes.

Anyway, I thought shields would make a fun/interesting weapon that wouldn't encroach on other classes or seem out of place.

Spoiler: Base Abilities

Same as matteo's, copy the attached text into the top-left field and hit load


Also, one last thing... one VERY important thing. NO shield throwing. None.

 

sure ig

 

Ooo more classes concepts, neat! Gonna read

I guess I could have said that the axes models would need to be replaced, I though that was obvious to guess, but yeah xd

 

That was pretty good, I can see the idea and roles behind every archetypes so that's good. My two main grips is just some repeating spell effects (Refraction and Quaking Guard, Poseidon Phase and Kronian Phase...) and some of the ability durations that last really long and give powerful effects with no cooldown or way to remove it (like Preempt or Celestial Shift which locks the no-phase phases).

I am a huge fan of the Nightwatch archetype, both gameplay and idea wise, it's like an astrological Ritualist lol. Although I am a little sad to see no interactions between the different phases and the fact that they all last pretty long, making it really easy to just stack all of them at once and become a powerhouse. But these problems apart, you unironically have a really great idea with it.
