World Invertedreaper's Mad Ramblings: Classes (part 1- Passives)

Oh sorry I didn't mean like code actual passives into the game and then choose and balance.
I just wanted a longer list of ideas in the thread, then we could choose which ones could work in game.
For example, you suggest 20 different passives in the thread, and then pick 2 that fits the game/balance the most.

Then comes debating and coding and play testing.

I don't really see the point in making 20 passives when I know 12 of them are either underpowered, overpowered, or just plain impossible. With those criteria, it was hard for me to even make 3 for each class. I did have many more ideas for passive abilities, but the ones I have here are the ones I believe to be the most useful and balanced.

To be honest, I'm surprised I didn't do this sooner. But since I highly doubt anyone with the ability to actually implement these changes actually read these things, I'm not surprised at the same time.

So, okay, I've been playing Wynncraft for about 3 1/2 years now; and due to my current position, I probably ain't gonna stop any time soon. Since I'm here anyway, I might as well get some stuff off my chest. There is a massive flaw in Wynn's class system. One that ultimately makes the game a hell of a lot less enjoyable than it could be. When it comes to classes, Wynncraft HATES commitment. For the most part, the classes and skills are super vague and often mix several different roles into one class (like Mage being DPS, support, AND a cleric) for the sake of not having more than 4 classes and so the players can still have some choice in playstyle. But to be honest, all it really does is just limit the overall functionality of each class. For example, no matter the game, I enjoy playing tanks. So naturally, I gravitate towards Warrior because it has the highest Defense. However, there are no skills that really complement it being a tank aside from the CC that every other class has anyway so why does it even matter.

So what's my point? Creating more distinct roles and skillsets for each class will, in my opinion, create a better overall gameplay experience.

I believe the first step to doing that is giving each class its own unique passive abilities. Passives can not only give gameplay more depth, but also help characterize the classes for specific roles and jobs in a party.

Each class gets 2 passives. You have both from the start. I tried not to make them too OP together, but it's work in progress, so feel free to make suggestions and expect changes.

WARRIOR
- Perseverance: When your health falls below 20%, you gain an additional 30% Defense and 20% damage.
- Stalwart: Increased Health Regen. Also receives increased healing from potions and Heal.

ASSASSIN
- Killing Strike: When an enemy is below 25% health, Assassin's attacks will become 50% more powerful.
- Swift Step: Increased walk speed (Speed I) and jump height (Jump Boost II) and sprint bar drains slower.

ARCHER
- Twin Shot: Every 3rd basic attack will shoot 2 arrows instead of 1.
- Piercing Shot: Chance for attacks to pierce the enemy's armor, decreasing its defense for a short time.

MAGE
- Arcane Energy: Increased Mana Regen. Also receives increased Mana from potions.
- Arcane Mastery: When a spell successfully hits an enemy, there's a chance a portion of the Mana lost will be regained.

If you look in the title, then you see this is only Part 1. I have a lot more than this, but I'd rather not bombard you all with a wall of text that'd make Trump proud. So I'm splitting this into several parts.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my mad ramblings!

That's why I made mastery class ideas that have classes focuses on one main thing
Buy my merch and like my threads

Lol but seriously I can't agree more with you. Classes have spells that can do everything,which takes away the uniqueness of each class. That's why I made mastery class ideas to hope for that them at least giving these classes a rework in certain abilities,or straight up just take a look at my ideas and tweak it a bit. But well,I don't think the devs would even bother watching any thread on the forum page so yeah

How about a universal passive that gives a change (say, 25%) for a lapse in elemental defense every hit so that elemental builds actually have a chance against all of these new-fangled rainbow tank mages.

Also, for assassin's jump boost, can that be optional?
