Classes: The Soldier (925+ Supporters) - Updated To 1.1.4 Stats!

Amazing class idea :D
But maybe you should nerf the basic skill amount?
Like 3 for spells instead of 4?
Also, some of the spells seems really Op xP

Amazing job :D

 

Yeah, it’s one of the oldest. Was here pre-wipe.

Also, you can’t change the base number of spells, if you didn’t know. Or did you mean the ”power bar?” The ”power bar” is just an arbitary representation of the power of the spells of that class.
What spells do you think are op? I think they are balanced.

 

why not just make a sword skin for a spear instead of a spear skin
edit: why would a soldier carry an axe when a sword is far better anyway

 

Because theming.

 

Ah yes ye knights of old carry around axes which only have around 3 points of impact at most. They totally didnt carry around a b l a d e which has like a long sharp thing that can stab through armor or cut through skin/leather nah they only had axes and spears which are much less effective

 

This guy ain't a knight, Knights are knights. Quibbling over little things like this ain't gonna get anyone anywhere. It wasn't swords because swords are more generic, are technically already used by Assassins(air daggers), and at the time this was released, blocking was still a thing and would have interfered with the spellcasting mechanics.

 

Saying swords are too generic while having assassins with daggers, archers with bows and mages with wands is the worst argument ive heard. Shoulda left it at blocking messing up spells. And besides you just need to right click it shouldnt mess it up too much lol

 

I'd like this, if only for the single reason that I just want ANY new class. I love starting new characters, but I'm sick and tired of every class in the game at the moment.

 

Before archer autoshoot was added, you needed to pull back your bowstring, which interfered with your movement and with your spellcasting. For as many complaints there were initially about the autoshoot being added, there was twice as big of a collective sigh of relief. Swords would have the same problem, and unlike bows, it isn't a melee hit so an autoattack that bypasses blocking would be very difficult to add.

In addition, assassin daggers, archer bows, and mage wands are less generic than it seems due to how they're designed to each look and feel distinct from one another, while swords are...just swords. Even the super fancy runecrest blades and everything from fantasy games mostly end up feeling pretty samey. Axes and maces have a lot more room for creativity.

 

fair enough

I think the idea of “subclasses” fit the idea of these new class suggestions more. Most of these suggestions are pretty much different versions of the current 4. (druid, nercomancer, soldier) Now this is a hypothetical as adding new spells for these classes would take a shit load of code and work and I wouldn’t even expect this would ever happen. But if it did, you could have all the sub-classes have some of the same spells as the main clases, (maybe a different quality like a debuff) but have 1 or 2 spells be entirely different. For example heal for necromancer could be drain or something.

Now a way of implementing these subclasses and having players access them can be either one of these things:

1) Having the player choose one of the subclasses or sticking with the main class

2) Choosing the subclass in the beginning

Both are fine, as long as there is a way to swap between the subclasses through the means of an item or soul points.


It’s more variety that the game needs and also doesn’t force the ct to make an entire new weapon type in one update.

 

I agree with your idea of sublcasses. Wynncraft was made with only four classes in mind, and adding a class would require changes both in-game and in the lore. I might make a forum post later about class variants based on elements, since that adds diversity without breaking the idea of 4 main classes.

 

Bump for class.

 

I don't really think any New class will ever be added. As cool as this suggestion is, adding a 5th class would mean a complete overhaul of Bob's lore, and balancing, and quest rewards, and... Well, you get the idea.

+1 supporter for wishful thinking.

 

Here is something that will make you happy :D
By Salted: "we think a new class would be super fun and feel refreshing"[1]

Oh, almost forget the most important one. Here:
By Salted: "we think housing could be a chill experience for the more social people"[1]

 

This is a ****ing miracle.

 

It would be a lot of work, but I specifically wrote this class around those things.

For one thing, I'm an IM, and we got a team of IMs. Seeing as I was able to make 900+ items for Gavel of my own accord, I'm sure that even if none of the other IMs wanted anything to do with making axes I could do it in a timely fashion, so anything related to making the items themselves isn't a concern, same with adding quest rewards.

For another thing, the "lore" of this class is that it's made up of techniques from a far-off land someplace. Jury's out where that is, cause I left it intentionally vague to not make it a plot hole; they only recently started coming into Wynn, so the arts of using Axes wasn't one of the four Wynnic arts that Bob had to learn. Hence, no need to mess with Bob there!

The one thing that would probably take the most time and the most work would be the models for the items, and that just isn't something I can easily work around, but still. Two out of three!

 

@Selvut283 About three-four years ago, I saw this suggestion and really enjoyed the thought of it. It's been too damn long Selvut. Seeing as how your suggestion has been underway and overly active upon nearly three years continuously (and never locked I add). It's quite a feat to see a suggestion this long prevail. Anyhow. I still wonder if we get a new class nowadays, there are 10 slots for VIP+ and 13 slots for MVP+, what to do with those slots except add them with the usual classes over and over again. There's been the option of always replaying Wynncraft all over and over again until you max all classes on your slots. I'm sure those "tryhards" can get quite the bore with such except the occasional grind of items. Well, it's great to see you still going at it Selvut, and seeing how you are able to work around many of the obstacles placed and seeing every current aspect and factor (reskinned class, questlines, models--sort of), it's going to be quite something in the next update or two.

 

Bumped for class.
