I read you had to post something like this somewhere? I have no idea where so I do it here:

(Class Name) (Artisan Archer)

Damage/Disable
Medium armor
Medium Energy
Melee

(Class Name)s use Chinese martial arts to delude and damage its opponents. They possess advanced fighting skills and are very proficient in the use of Nunchaku's. They also knows how to channel energy in the form of Qi to hinder their opponents.

EDIT: The Class now doesn't have a name as some people found the original name offensive.

Ooh pretty cool. You've kept it nice and balanced i see. Though when i imagine this class i imagine Male Monks with Nunchuks.

Artisan Archer · Sep 12, 2008, 11:41 AM // 11:41

Serious... serious....Well, I made it for fun. Serious as in: I expect this could be added to the game: No.

And male monks with nunchucks, yeah that would pretty much describes how it should look like.

jiggles · Sep 12, 2008, 11:41 AM // 11:41

Anticipate
For 3...10 seconds target foe's skills are easily interruptable.

Imba

Acupuncture
For 1...8 seconds target foe moves 15% slower and takes 15...60 damage the next time he is knocked down.

Has to be said, in a pvp enviroment making someones skills easily interuptable is just asking to be abused. As is stopping someone kiting and then dealing damage when they cant self heal. 15-60 damage might not sound like much, but a dev hammer warrior could easily crush a squishy if the other monk is being attacked while hexed with somehting that makes them easily interuptable.

Dazed? You're proberly right but doesn't dazed do the same thing AND slow down casting time?

What about counters like balanced stance? Holy veil? Without counters this would be overpowered, but I just named 2 commenly used skills that can counter this particular skill.

All that said: I still think you're proberly right

jiggles · Sep 12, 2008, 12:11 PM // 12:11

The whole point of dev hammer is to ensure that the target doesnt see it coming. And yes dazed does the same thing. But for ten seconds with a 15 sec recharge. Is quite rediculos (however you spell it). As for veil, a quick cast cover hex would easily sort that out.

lol buddhist kill people....

Apoc · Sep 12, 2008, 12:23 PM // 12:23

Then what? The Catholic and the Islamist professions?

DarkNecrid · Sep 12, 2008, 12:52 PM // 12:52

Buddhists are non-violent because they follow karmān, one of the parts to the Eightfold Path which they follow to end their suffering, reach true Enlightenment, and attain Nirvana. Karmān is acting in a non-harmful way, so Buddhists do not cause harm to other life in an attempt to reach Nirvana.

You should probably research these things before you make a class like this.

Artisan Archer · Sep 12, 2008, 01:03 PM // 13:03

Don't take it too serious eh.

I mean it's not like it couldn't possibly be offensive to anyone to see their religion which is very strongly (read: completely) against any kind of violence portrayed in a violent way.

Never.

What's next a class that worships Satan and is called Christian? DONT TAKE IT TOO SERIOUS GUYS HEH, I'M JUST BASICALLY OFFENDING YOUR RELIGION BUT WHO CARES.

(Also not to nitpick, but it's Qi, not Chi.)

Artisan Archer · Sep 12, 2008, 01:17 PM // 13:17

Look man, I'm sorry to have offended you. Yeah you're right I didn't research Buddhism. I kinda made this without it having name, first thing to pop into my head.

Also, if I may say this in a non-offensive way: No need to start yelling at people...

Artisan Archer · Sep 12, 2008, 02:12 PM // 14:12

DarkNecrid, for your peace of mind I edited out all the 'Buddhist' parts. So now it's just a nameless class.

DarkNecrid · Sep 12, 2008, 02:38 PM // 14:38

You could just use something horribly generic like Martial Artist or Nunchaku Master or such, y'know. :P

Well there certainly aren't any examples of this in game already!
*cough* DERVISH *cough*

Seriously, lighten up. The moment people start taking their religions too seriously is the moment crusades, suicide bombing and Holocausts become a reality.

i thought to reach true nirvana you had to want to end suffering for all living things, not just yourself. that's just me trying to remember what i read on wiki a while ago, feel free to pulverize me with your Buddha nature. oh yeah and i read siddhartha once in high school, i r budism expart. oh and i watched the avatar once.
also, a shotgun.

FUN FACT: The idea for the Dervish sprang from brainstorming sessions for Factions. Originally, the character would've been a Kung Fu master in that campaign, but when the profession was cut, it was retooled into the Dervish.

that fact wasn't very fun

but it was interesting

but if they had made the dervish a kung fu master, would assassins or kung fu maester seymours be the narutos of gw?

When I first looked at the thread. This is what I thought. I was gonna go on a rant, but I decided "I'll sleep first, if no one mentions this, then I'll rant"

I'm glad you mentioned this.
