Concept Class: Inventor
Overveiw: a ranged attacker based on scientific knowledge, has mechanical and alchemical skills for both attack and support. Its skill lines are alchemy, which allows him to use potions to help others and attack his enemies, auto-crossbow, the main weapon of the inventor, inventions, which is his primary skill and well rounded, and mechanics, which allows him to lay traps and use mechanical robots to attack and defend himself.
Armor: Inventors have 70AL base armor that has +10 energy and +2 regeneration. Looks: I would imagine that an inventor's armor would probably have a more practical look to it. Lots of bandoliers, belts, pockets, maybe a visibal backpack, and he might even have goggles or cap+goggles on his helment slot. Auto Crossbow: this is a two handed weapon an inventor uses. It has an attack rate of one attack every 1.6 seconds and does 2-6 damage for every bolt that hits. At 12 points in auto crossbow, an inventor can shoot a burst of 5 bolts for a total of 10-30 damage. Auto crossbows have the same range as spells. . Alchemy Alchemy is the origin of science and is obsessed with finding the philosopher's stone, that legendary stone that can turn lead into gold and grant someone youth. The Alchemy has a number of potions that are used to attack and help. Note for Monk/Inventors healing effects of alchemy don't trigger divine favor bonus. 1. Caffeinated Drink – 5e, 1 cast, 30 recharge Alchemy Potion. For 7-12 seconds, target touched ally has +2-4 energy regen. 2. Curative Elixir – 5e, 1 cast, 5 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target touched ally has one condition removed and gains 7-28 health. Disease and poison will be cured first, even if there are cover conditions. 3. Deadly Liquid – 10e, 1 cast, 25 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target foe and adjacent take 7-30 damage and are diseased for 3-7 seconds. 4. Health Potion – 5e, 1 cast, 5 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target touched ally gains 20-84 health. 5. Fire Bomb – 15 e, 1 cast, 15 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target foe and adjacent foes take 8-48 fire damage and are set on fire for 1-4 seconds. Has half the normal spell range. 6. Liquid Nitrogen – 10e, 1 cast 10 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target foe and adjacent foes take 8-56 cold damage; liquid nitrogen has 20% armor piercing. Has half the normal spell range. 7. Lotus Powder – 10e, 1 cast, 20 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target takes 10-25 damage and is poisoned for 4-10 seconds. Has half the normal spell range. 8. Muscle Relaxant – 15e, 2 cast, 20 recharge Alchemy Potion. For 3-12 seconds target foe is weakened and crippled. Has half the normal spell range. 9. Noxious Potion - 15 e, 1 cast, 15 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target Foe and adjacent are dazed for 10 seconds. Has half the normal spell range. 10. Philosophers Stone (Elite) – 15e, 4 cast Skill. Target touched dead ally is brought back with full health, energy, and 15% less death penalty. Skill recharges on moral boost once it has been successfully used. 11. Sun bomb - 10e, 1 cast, 20 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target Foe and adjacent are blinded for 10 seconds. Has half the normal spell range. 12. Ye Olde Hand Grenade –15e, 1 cast, 10 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target foe and nearby take 15-80 damage and are knocked down. 13. Ye Holy Hand Grenade (Elite) - 15e, 1 cast, 10 recharge Alchemy Potion. Target foe and nearby take 15-80 damage and are knocked down, does double damage to summoned creatures (including undead) and man-eating bunnies with very large fangs. . Auto-crossbow The Auto-crossbow is the main weapon of the inventor. It is a light-weight crossbow that the inventor has modified to shoot rapidly. The more skilled you are with the auto crossbow, the more attacks you get with it, gaining additional attacks at 3, 6, 9, and 12 ranks in auto-crossbow which are shot in bursts. Bursts are considered one attack each (for things like vigorous spirit, conjure lightning, spirit spite, blind, or a zealous mod) no matter how many shots are fired. EDIT FROM REPLY: For auto-crossbow purposes, 1 burst (1-5 shots) would constitute one attack for spells like conjure ice or vig spirit or hex that triggers on attack. Think of it like this: only the first shot really counts for purposes of triggering those spells and for things like conjure the first one to hit would do the extra damage. NOTE: For AoE attacks each burst or arrow to hit a different foe would count as a seperate attack, as would firing two bursts at one target, for spells like ignite arrows, conjure fire, vig spirit, or empathy. 1. Armor Piercing Rounds 10e, 2 seconds, 10 recharge Ammo. Your next 1-5 bursts have 20% armor piercing. 2. Armor Piercing Incendiary Rounds (Elite), 10e, 2 seconds, 30 recharge Ammo.

Cover Fire 10e, .5seconds, 20 rechrage Attack. You fire a burst of rounds at your target and every foe in the area (1 burst apiece) and interrupt their actions. Shots fired with cover fire have a 10% chance of hitting. If you don't have enough ammo to hit every target at a full burst, every foe has a random chance of being targeted by each arrow (up to your maximum for the burst) and Cover Fire ends when you run out of ammo. After using Cover fire, you run out of ammo and reload. 4. Empty Magazine 10e, 1 second, 30 recharge Attack. For 5 seconds you attack 66% faster until you unload your magazine, 5 bursts, on target foe. You cannot move, attack other targets, or use any skills while Empty Magazine is in effect. After you have fired all your shots, Empty Magazine ends and you run out of ammo and reload. This attack causes exhaustion. 5. Explosive Rounds 10e, 2 seconds, 10 recharge Ammo. Your next 1-5 bursts do 1-12 fire damage to your target and all adjacent creatures. If interrupted while activating this skill, you and all adjacent creatures take 5-60 fire damage. 6. Incendiary Rounds 10e, 2 seconds, 10 recharge Ammo. Your next 1-5 s will cause burning for 1-3 seconds. If interrupted while activating this skill, you will be set on fire for 1-5 seconds. 7. Lyssa's Luck (Elite) 5e, .25 seconds, 20 recharge Skill. For 5 seconds, attacks and projectile spells have a 10-50% chance of missing you and you have a 10%-50% of overcoming effects that would cause you to miss, such as blind, hexes, enchantments, evade, and block. If your target also has the effect of Lyssa's luck, your chance to hit or evade are further modified by the difference between your ranks in Auto-Crossbow and your opponents. 8. Shoot 'em up 5e, 1second, 7 recharge Attack. Fire a burst at a foe, if this attack hits, opponent starts bleeding for 3-15 seconds. 9. Sniper's Round (Elite) 15e, 2 seconds, 30 recharge Ammo.

Because of the nature of ammo, you cannot use bonus shots with this skill, the first bolt fired will cause the recharge to trigger. 10. Sniper's Shot 15e, 5 seconds, 30 recharge Attack. This attack has +25% range, 10% armor piercing, and if hits causes a critical. This attack is easily interruptable. 11. Take Cover 5e, .25seconds, 10 recharge Stance. You are knocked down for 3 seconds, but while you are knocked down, you have a 90% chance to evade projectile attacks and spells. 12. "Take Cover Now!" 5e, 15 recharge Shout. You and all allied in earshot are knocked down for 3 seconds but have a 90% chance to evade projectile attacks and spells. 13. Tyrian Standoff 5e 10 recharge. Stance.

Tyrian Style (Elite) 10e, 30 recharge. Stance. For 5-15 seconds, you wield a second auto crossbow with the same stats as your equipped one and you attack 20% faster.

Fire s burst at target foe and if this attack hits, target gets a deep wound for 5-20 seconds. This causes a critical hit versus physical, non-living foes (constructs and some undead). . Inventions Inventions are a variety of things that any inventor may invent in his spare time. Inventions are the primary skill of the inventor.

Inventor's Constructs – Construct. These are "pets" that an inventor can build via a crafter in some towns, for 250 iron, 250 wood, and a third material. Pets can have several different attack styles (depending on the pet built) which change the base damage type of their attack as well as a number of attacks. All constructs have a special attack and a secret weapon dependant on their type. Constructs have an average attack rate of 1 attack every other second and an average base damage of 20-40 at level 20. Constructs have a health of 80 plus 40 times its level and a base AL of 20 plus 3 times its level. Constructs always have a level equal to yours. Constructs cannot be healed with any skills other than the Inventor's Repair skill and will not heal over time when a battle is over. Constructs suffer from weakness and crippled when under 50%-25% of their health (based on your mechanics skill) and will not move or act when under 20%-10% of their health (based on your mechanics skill). When a construct dies, it does 10-120 fire damage to all adjacent creatures, cannot be exploited, and can only be resurrected by the Inventor's repair skill. Constructs are inventory items that are customized for their maker (ie can't be used by anyone else) and can be dyed. To use a construct, you must have the Construct skill and a construct in inventory. In order to use it, go to your skill screen and select the Construct skill that corresponds to the Construct you want to use. You can only bring one Construct with you at a time. Constructs can have two upgrades, a prefix and a postfix upgrade, and will have different inherent abilities based on type. Construct upgrades can be crafted in town. Constructs are named when built and can be renamed later, but you cannot have two constructs with the same name. Construct Types Armored Turtle – a mechanical turtle with a big cannon on its back. Cannon has a slow attack rate, one attack every four seconds, but at level twenty does 40-80 damage per hit. Cannonball – ranged bludgeoning damage (shoots a cannonball from its cannon) Fireball – ranged fire damage (shoots a fireball from its cannon) Extra materials – 150 granite, 100 scales Blade Bird – a robotic bird.

Buzzsaws – melee slashing damage Buzzerrangs – ranged slashing damage (shoots buzzsaws) Extra Material – 250 chitin Mecha Me – an armored suit that the inventor can get in. Operates similar to holding an item in terms of speed reduction and the inventor cannot attack while in it. If the inventor targets his Mecha Me, he can get in or out using the item interface. While the inventor is "holding" the Mecha Me, the construct absorbs all damage aimed at the inventor. If the Mecha Me is destroyed with the inventor in it, the inventor takes double the normal damage that a construct would give when dying. Only the inventor can use his Mecha Me. Mecha Crossbow – a larger version of the auto crossbow which the Mecha Me has for arms. Shoulder Cannons – Ranged fire damage Bayonet Blades – ranged piercing damage (attacks with spikes on mecha crossbow arms). Extra Material – 25 Deldrimor Steel, 12 leather (for interior of course)  Mechanical Minion – a humanoid construct with a bone motif, and scythe arms Bone Blades – melee piercing damage (swings right scythe arm) Bone Club – melee bludgeoning damage (swings left club arm) Extra Material – 250 bones Robodrake – a mechanical drake. Note it is created with an elemental prefix of user's choice and can never change its prefix upgrade. Prefixes: icy, fiery, shocking, ebon, light, dark, or chaos. Color is based on prefix: blue-white, red-orange, yellow-blue, green-brown, white, black, or purple. Cannot be dyed. Bite – melee piercing damage Claws – melee slashing damage, two claw attacks Breath – ranged breath weapon of prefix damage type. Combined Attack – randomly alternates between bite, claws, and breath attacks Extra Material – 250 scales, 4 monstrous fangs, 10 monstrous claws Prefix Extra Material – (Prefix) Gem: crafted in town for 250 glittering dust plus 5k Sentinal Scarab – a robotic insect that closely resembles scarabs which are found in tyria. Sweeping Attacks – melee slashing damage (sweeps blade arms) Thrusting Attacks – melee piercing damage (thrusts blade arms) Extra Material – 250 chitin, 2 monstrous claws Steel Soldier – a mechanical suit of rock and metal armor with glowing eyes. Automatic Axe – melee slashing damage (axes spring out of fore arms) Smash – melee bludgeoning damage (swings fists) Extra Material – 25 deldrimor steel, 250 granite Sword Devourer – a mechanical devourer with two swords for arms and a tail which shoots darts. Sword Arms – melee slashing damage Tail Darts – ranged piercing damage Extra Needed Material – 250 chitin Well that's it. I know it's pretty close to ranger, but I think it has some nice flavor to it. Some of the skills will probably need to be balanced better, but I think it's a pretty good start. Question 1 for feedback: what do you all think about philosopher's stone? I think it needs something to make it more skill dependant so I want to add something like fails 50% of the time if less than 7 ranks in alchemy. Question 2 for feedback: Redly has a few good suggestions, especially about auto-crossbow attack energy and recharge. Should I lower them a little? edit1: -added "Fight Back!" -added Construct Stance to the skill "Go on, you can do it" -with the exception of philosopher's stone, alchemy potions now have the type alchemy potion instead of skill. -reduced recharge of sniper's shot from 60 seconds to 30 seconds. -added "Auto Repair" -added armor looks.

Quite possibly the most interesting class EVAR. Winter, I would LOVE to play one of these. ^_^ We talked some in IRC, but here's some thoughts:
SUGGESTIONS -) Can we say R/I Expertise that spams skills like R/N Touch rangers? -) Shake the Can - Alchemy skills with touch range now operate at half-range, and half-range skills have the full range of normal spells. -) I'd buff all the healing potions, and add more. The idea of a healing inventor is really interesting to me. -) I'm extremely concerned with the possible combo of I/E with Conjure Fire/Frost/Lightning, or I/R with Ignite Arrows. The sheer devisation of Conjure or Ignite hitting FIVE TIMES ON A SINGLE SHOT.... overpowered much? -) Crossbow skill 10 - Sniper's Shot is much too weak, at least for ANY hope of PvP. 5 second cast, for just a bit more range and 10% sundering? Q_Q -) Crossbow skill 12 - "Take Cover Now!" <---- the skill that guarantees that I will never bring one of these into my party. I do NOT want an Inventor interrupting my monk casts. -) No "Canthan Style?" -) Inv skill 1 "Auto-crossbow bleh bleh" is the most confusion skill ever. -) Inv skill 6 "Magnet Thrower" is so interesting. A bit over the top, but awesome. I would love to see it wreck havoc in PvP. -) Inv skill 9 Neural Distruptor, as an interupt, should be .25 cast time instead of .5. -) Inv skill 15 Thieves Tools - delete this. Now. Get this PvP-breaking, PvE-chest-run-cheating skill out of this post before I slap you and shout Wark. -) Speaking of which, where is the "Wark!" skill? -) Mechanics skill 2 and 13 - combine these. Due what ANet SHOULD have done with Charm Animal and Comfort Animal. Notice that there are no Beast Masters in GW? It takes too many skill slots to do anything other than have a pet there to act as pressure/tank. Alleviate this by USING your Charm Animal clone to heal/res. -) Mech skill 12, etc - do not use touched construct skills. It just decreases the overall value. Call of Haste and Protector's whatever are shouts, not touch skills. In general, don't force your inventor near your construct. -) Mech skill 18 "You've Almost Won" should have a MUCH longer affect rate. Otherwise, why not just use the much nicer skills 8 and 12. Other things we talked about in IRC -) Inventors have CRAP energy management.... -) Compare the recharge times on most of your skills (especially the crossbow!) with the recharge rate of... well, anything. Rangers can use their skills very often (and do!)... warriors as soon as they have adrenaline or within a short time... most basic monk spells are repeatable, eles only have to wait a short time to use good skills again (ignoring crap like Meteor Shower, etc).... in short, your inventor just isn't going to be doing much, because nothing will be active... but if it were, all the energy costs are prohibitive. Make their lives easier please... -) Ranger expertise will RAPE with this, much like an R/N exploits the skill-not-spell nature of life stealing necro touches. And THESE skills (I'm looking at the potion skills) have some range on them! AHHHH! Consider making a new type of skill, "Potions", that do not benefit from Expertise. -) As a sidenote to the above... perhaps you may want to swing the other way, and instead encourage the R/I and I/R combinations. With one using Marksmanship with a bow, and the other Auto-Crossbow Mastery with a crossbow... it just seems like the two could be easily interchangable. Wilderness survival preparations (kindle! apply poison!) on auto-crossbow skills? Hehehehe... Though let me say again, beware things like Ignite Arrows, which cause AoE damage on hit, being combined with 5 arrows shooting in a single burst. Ranger spike was made on the sheer damage output of Ignite/Kindle/Read combined with Dual Shot. This is, like, 250% more power than Dual Shot. Also: Conjure ele spells, or any other skill that causes "for X seconds, all your attacks/arrows cause +damage." One thing I noted was that you edited the bursts to be a single attack, such that Spiteful Spirit, Empathy, or Vigorous Spirit only triggers once (unlike Barrage, which counts as 6 seperate attacks all happening at the same time). Maybe you could also say that stuff like Ignite Arrows or Conjure Fire would only work once with each burst attack as well? Might cause issues with the cross-bow attacks that hit multiple targets, but the details can be worked out later. ^_^ Last edited by Redly; Oct 24, 2006 at 06:59 AM // 06:59.. |

Overall I think you've had a number of good comments for this class idea Redly. I'm going to change a few of them now and for others, I want to wait just a little bit to see if is any disagreement with your proposed changes. |

Constructs are TOO COMPLICATED. People have slow attention span. Your average player will just see that long list of words and just play another class. Simplicity can invoke Complexity, but Complication is not what you want. Too close to a Ranger. If you are going to make something, make it unique, not branching off of something else. Alright the thing with simplicity vs. complication. Chess is harder than Go to learn, but Go has more strategy involved. Go is a simple game but it can be complex due to the heavy elements of strategy and tactic necessary for the game. Chess is harder to learn but easier to play once you got the concept. Right now your class is not only hard to learn, but also very complicated to play. This discourage about 70% of the people. |

As for being too close to ranger, it was intended to be closish to ranger because that's what I based the class on in part. Alchemy is a more support skill line that is part healing part condition attacks and invention is a wide ranging skill line with some nukes and utility skills. You could also say that dervishs are too close to sassis, rits are too close to els, monks, necros, and rangers, and paragons are W/R's. |

Read the thread for clarification >.< they're more like dwarven engineers. I know its 94 posts, put look for the giant furnace monster pic from sorrows furnace.
Edit: sorry, forgot to clarify, meant the engineers thread to look at. Last edited by Not A Fifty Five; Oct 27, 2006 at 11:57 PM // 23:57.. |

Hmm true. Engineers is a lot more toned down than inventors here tho. Hand cannons (The 12th cenutry crap that blows up in your face), catapults, and stuff not mechanical robots and mechas.
