For some reason I can't find the origional thread so I have to repost my idea...

New Profession: The Seigest

Story/Background:
The first Seigist was trained in the early days before the first Guild War. Very high-ranked, trusted generals were trained. But, eventually the power got to their heads and they went insane, they attacked and killed everything in sight and took down all buildings in their way. Eventually they were killed, but with great wins come great losses; nearly 200 people lost their lives to the Seigists power. After the destruction the teachings of Seigist became illegal and were banned. But, over the years people found the seigist scrolls containing how to become a seigist and they started to popup every once in awhile. Nothing as bad as what happened before accorded, but there were some minor outbreaks. Finally the government allowed the Seigist way and it was used to train special soldiers for the wars to come.

Premise:
The Seigist is a mid-range melee profession that attacks using a sling/catapult that it hangs over it’s back. The seigist specializes in destroying barricades and buildings quickly and without much effort. Since they would know how a build works and is made they would know how to make one them selves.

Barricades:
The Seigist can make they’re own barricades, but along with the defense he/she makes they also lose 10% maximum energy and can’t use that energy until the defense is destroyed or you get rid of it. The barricade will be a solid building that your allies and yourself can get into (just double-click the structure). Only ranged units can attack out of it and if you’re too far away you’ll have to get out. And melee allies can heal in there but not attack.

Forts:
The Seigist can also create forts. A fort acts as like a barricade, but smaller. Forts act as a rest stop. A fort attacks enemies by itself and heals you if you’re in it. But, you cannot attack while inside and they are somewhat easy to destroy. Some forts have something called beacon which increase the sight in the area it is created; they also something called signals, a signal identifies if something is attacking your fort when you are gone. Forts also take 10% maximum energy.

Artillery:
Artillery is in the Demolition section. Artillery is a large machine that can both do damage to normal enemies and enemy barricades/forts. They can do a lot of damage to enemies, but you are unable to go inside of them and they don’t have a lot of health. Most artillery is moveable, but cannot move on its own, You have to pull it, just like you’d pick up an important item; so you can’t attack while pulling it. Also when pulling artillery your speed is brought down 66%. Some pieces of artillery cannot be moved, usually if they are elite of very strong.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you've been playing too many war games. It isn't really in the style of Guild Wars at all to have barricades and TNT and forts. I'm not saying it wouldn't be interesting to have some sort of barrier, but it doesn't fit the theme very well.

Wards fit perfectly with guild wars and could perhaps even support this concept. It couldn't be anything physical, but rather a 'virtual' obstacle to stop enemies.

Even then, I don't think the developers would care very much about having obstacle issues in the middle of a PVP game, and neither would the gamers. It leads to a heck of a lot of lame tactics like finding a narrow spot in pvp and spamming barricades on either side while your elementalists cast meteor storm on them.

I give you points for originality and creatitivity, but I don't think it is in the style of Guild Wars.

It may not fit in the Guild Wars time, but maybe Guild Wars 2. In GW2 it's 100 years into the future, so wouldn't you expect some technological advances? That could even be part of the story line, like to new Factions; one that uses machinery, the other is magic.

Well, if I saw machinery in Guild Wars 2, it would have to be the sort of clanky mad-scientist type of technology that looks like it could have been pieced together with hammer and bent nails.

And even then, it really shouldn't do anything that couldn't be believable. Pulling a barricade out of your butt is a little unbelievable. I still don't think it is a good idea.

Well, you can think what you want to think and I can't change your opinion
