The Paladin [class Suggestion] [repost]

I had to make a repost due to various problems with the poll and having reworked an ability

The Paladin:

The paladin is a class that highly relies on tankiness and utility when fighting, but he's is rather slow and lacks damage. This makes him best when around other allies. That doesn't mean he can't fight on his own - as his defenses allow him to survive even the largest crowds of mobs.

While this class may seem like the knight, it really isn't. It does share a SIMILAR theme, but there still is a good difference. The paladin is "divine" and usually goes by the gold color, while the knight is "holy" and usually goes by the white color. The difference is large enough to make 2 different characters out of it.

Stats and weapons:

Damage: [][][][][]
Defense: [][][][][]
Range: [][][][][]
Utility: [][][][][]
Mobility: [][][][][]

While I realize this isn't the official stat system, I personally think this better showcases the strengths and weaknesses of a class



Weapon: Shovel
There is absolutely no need for a new class to use a different weapon type, it will just be a waste of developing time - or at least this is my opinion on the matter.


-The paladin class gains 115% armor rating if you have any ideas if it should be more or less please respond with that


Abilities:

Lvl 1: First ability[Right-left-right]: Divine punishment: Calls forth a mighty beam from the heavens at a target location, damaging and stunning opponents in the center, while slowing and mildly damaging those on the outskirts.

Please don't come and tell me that this is supposed to be a mobility spell - it's not. It's supposed to be an escape spell. Examples of this can be seen in the lower levels of vanish.

Please leave me some feedback by responding to the poll or by commenting in the reply section

PS: It was most definitely intentional to make this class sorta similar to the warrior (you can see those similarities in the first ability and the fourth ability)

 

The problem I see with this is that the alternate Warrior class, Knight, has holy themes in its move names, which would make it seem like there are 2 paladin classes.

 

Well not really. The paladin is divine, not holy. It's like world of warcraft - the priests get the holy stuff while the paladins gets the "divine", "justice" and "righteuss" kind of stuff. There is a small difference there.
In fact the WoW team specifically removed all hints of "holy" from the Paladins kit just to underline this.

 

i totally agree we need this

 

i like this idea. we really need new classes aswell. +1

 

First of all we already have a shovel using class. It will screw stuff up if we use another shovel. Secondly for spell number 4, you can't replace blocks. Try a particle effect or something. Finally, you need at least one movement spell. Even the high levels of vanish have a speed buff. You need SOMETHING. So yeah, thats a NO from me

 

They need to make classes a bit like Trove where different classes use the same weapons but in a different way.

 

"it will screw stuff up if we use another shovel"
Actually, it's the other way around. Not using a shovel would screw things up, not the way you said it. Especially with the new weapon textures - now every weapon is a seperate block, severely limiting the amount of weapons you can make. Not only that but it would take stupid amounts of time to add new weapons.
What i'm trying to say is that implementing new weapons is an extremely stupid idea when we already have enough - as new weapons would just be a wasted workload.
The only reason you are saying "it will screw stuff up", is that you simply want new weapons. At least be honest.

You can replace blocks. Plugins can EASILY do that. This spell temporarily replaces the blocks under you, giving every ally who stands on it a buff. Making it into "places a platform below you", would make it exploitable. At least say WHY replacing blocks doesn't work.

And who says you HAVE to have a movement spell? Did grian speficially say so? No. The main point behind the second spell is an escape spell, a spell that allows you to quickly get out of dangerous situations. The entire point of this class is a slow and tanky low damage support-ish class.

 

There are way too much alt warriors. Besides, are you saying to have warrior weapons be useable by paladin?
Is it just me or does the moves sound like renamed wow moves.

 

Ok, you got my on the shovel. But still, try to have some particle effects or SOMETHING

 

;p theres no move as transport. all the classe players would need a horse.

 

Theres no movement spell. Thats just not going to be good. Without a movment spell your gonna need a horse, but horses are glitchy and laggy now, and if your a poor starter you can't afford a Horse. At least every class has a mobility spell to go up two blocks, this guy cant even scale a wall. Make it so you have a recoil gust our something like you get launched in the air and you get a speed buff.

 

1. Donator class and ability differences
2. No shovels, he can use more "Paladinish" things and it's only a sword i think.

You got a Decent from me. +1

 

necro ...

 

What do you mean?
