Curse

Make up a skill you'd like to see for the new professions and remember:

The Paragon "is best suited in a support role as a battle commander, capable of supporting teammates by throwing spears and using verbal chants and shouts that can boost the fighting abilities of those nearby. And the paragon's angelic nature isn't just aesthetic, as this profession's presence can help teammates resist hexes and other curses"

The Dervish "capable of striking at multiple targets simultaneously with their wicked scythes...also cast spells on themselves that aid in their assault, and the profession has various healing and protection abilities as well. The profession's most powerful ability, however, is to temporarily transform into the physical embodiment of a god.

Paragon:
Wammo (Elite)
Shout. Whenever a W/Mo combines Mending + Frenzy, that player becomes immortal for 15...36 Seconds.

How about a mechanic?

Chants are a form of maintained shouts that are unique to Paragons. You pay once to begin chanting and then lose 1 pip of energy regeneration until you choose to stop maintaining the chant. You can only maintain one chant at a time. While maintaining a chant you can do any action you would normally be able to do. Some chants affect only yourself, some chants affect your allies, and a couple even affect the enemy.

Examples:

Battle Chant
Elite Chant
15 Energy, 20 Second Recharge

While you maintain this song all other allies within earshot gain 1 pip of energy regeneration and their skills recharge 15...33% faster.

Song of the Seraphim
Chant
10 Energy, 10 Second Recharge

While you maintain this song all allies within earshot gain 1...4 pips of health regeneration.

Song of the Nephilim
Chant
15 Energy, 10 Second Recharge

While you maintain this song all enemies within earshot gain 1...4 pips of health degeneration.

Fervent Chorus
Chant
10 Energy, 60 Second Recharge

While you maintain this song whenever another ally uses a skill a different random skill of theirs recharges.

Avatar of Balthazar(e) 5e 0c 20r (skill)-for 20 seconds your attacks all do holy dmg and cannot be "blocked or "evaded", Avatar of Balthazar ends when you use a skill

Rebuke 10e 1/4c 20r (Skill) - If target touched foe is using a skill, they are interrupted and knocked down. Interrupted skill takes 5-20 seconds longer to recharge. This skill deals no damage.

Zamiel · Jul 22, 2006, 10:00 PM // 22:00

i think the dervish should be able to do a sorta of shadow step skill but instead of teleporting the run like 5X faster
i would call it a night sprint

Night Charge
10e 3/4secs. 20sec. recharge
spell. nightsprint to then 15' past target dealing
+15-50dmg with a 1-15% chance to deal double dmg

Grenths scythe
10e 1sec. 30sec. recharge
enchantment. for 10-25secs. scythe attacks deal +10-25 dmg with a 0-1% chance to deal 5X dmg

Heres my guesses at the dervishes most powerfull skills

reaper of grenth:15 energy -1 energy upkeep; turn into a reaper of grenth all sythe attacks are double attacks but do 75% of dmg and you drain 3 health with each hit

fighter of balthazar: 15 energy -1 energy upkeep; turn into a fighter of balthazar +20 armour and attack 10% faster then normal with 10% armour penetration

dwaynas paladin:15 energy -1 energy upkeep; turn into a paladin of dwayna +50hp and 3 health regen hexes take an extra 50% longer to be cast on you

forest fighter of melandru:15 energy -1 energy upkeep; 25% chance of evading attacks, move 25% faster, stances recharge twice as fast

lyssa's knight:15 energy -1 energy upkeep; 25% of evading attacks your attacks slow down your target by 25% attack and movement speed for 1 second

each one removes all of your other enchantments and while in the form you cannot have another enchantment on you.

some of these may be quite strong but I think these might be the embodiments not with the same buffs though.

Paragon skills

Swan song:- 5 e cost. 1/2 second cast 30 second recharge

If target ally has less than 50% health all their attack skills and stances are recharged

Call to arms:- 5 e cost. 1 second cast 20 second recharge

For 10-20 seconds target allys attack skills recharge 50-100% faster but non attack skills recharge 50-25% slower

Elonian Blessing (Elite) 10e 1 sec cast time 30 sec recharge

For 6-12 seconds hexes cast against allies in the area fail and take an additional 12-24 seconds to recharge...For each hex denied this way you lose 6-2 energy or Elonian Blessing ends

I like the idea but instead of -1 energy pip restrict it to being able to use only 1 chant at a time and no shouts can be used while you maintain the chant.

We better see a physical change in our characters when we do this "god form" skill. Grow a bit, have an aura etc.

Zamiel · Jul 23, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

not necessarily a skill but if u have 12+ sycthe mastery u have a 1% chance to shout Grenth Is Coming!!! targeting one random foe nearbye and the next time that person takes dmg it is +500%

might be too powerful but cool to see that bit of high risk chance. watch some guy using fury get hit with 1000 dmg.
