Shade Swami

Class Description: Once thought to be Tyrian mythology, the shade swamis have ventured beyond their normal borders in pursuing the evils that destroyed their pristine habitats in the depths of the Estian Sea bedrock. Summoned hellish beasts from the shadows aid them in battle while disorienting and consuming foes with dark magic.

Primary Attribute – Summoning: For each attribute point your summons will gain an extra x..x health and increased base armor. Summoning related skills recharge 2% faster for rank in summoning.

When a summoned creature is out it will appear underneath the person that summoned it in the party interface. Summoned creatures can be enchanted, weapon enchanted, healed (treated like a normal player). Elite summons will have a base of x..x health. Summons will have a base of x..x health. Only one summon can be active at a time. Summons will work like maintained enchants, meaning that while one is active you will receive -1 energy regeneration, summons can as well be dispelled the same way you would dispel a maintained enchant.

Skill Type Melee summon: Melee summons attack in melee range. Some summoning commands can only be used by melee summons.

Shadow Werewolf {Elite}: Elite melee summon. Call forth a shadow werewolf. All enchanted allies within earshot range have an additional x..x health. (Attrib: Summoning)

Shadow Commands: No Inherent effect. Shadow Commands become more effective with more attribute points. Shadow commands consist of skills for your summoned creatures.

Skill Type Stationary commands: These are commands for your summons in the form of an enchantment that controls the summon in a specific way. These enchantments can be broken if the creature suffers a set amount of damage or if the enchantment is removed. Summons can only perform one command at a time. If a second command is given, the summon stops it’s current action and performs the new command given.

Obstructing Shade {Elite}: Stationary command. Active summon moves to your location and performs obstructing shade. While target summon is performing obstructing shade it expands to the size of 3 body lengths for x..x seconds. (Attrib: Shadow Commands)

Enemies cannot pass through obstructing shade, however allies can. This could be used for body blocking/kiting.

Skill Type Controlling Commands: These are commands for your summons in the form of a hex that controls the summon in a specific way. These hexes can be broken if the creature suffers a set amount of damage or if the hex is removed. Summons can only perform one command at a time. If a second command is given, the summon stops it’s current action and performs the new command given.

Dark Grasp: Control command. Send forth a melee summon to target foes location to perform dark grasp. Target foe moves x% slower for x..x seconds. (Attrib: Shadow Commands)

This will not force an item to be dropped if one is being held.

Dark Abyss: Spell. Create a dark abyss at target foes location. For x..x seconds, foes passing through dark abyss move x% slower and take x..x damage every second. (Attrib: Dark Spells)

Skill Type Pulse spells: Target foe is hexed with a pulse spell that triggers every x..x seconds.

In My Opinion >>>>>>> This Game Needs A Darksided Class Just Like This One..... It Impresses Me.

Spawning Power with a buff?

I'm sorry but I can't agree with a concept class whose first and primary attribute is just a buffed version of an exsisting one.

Spawning power works on stationary spirits that affect everything in a radius. This class would be making different types of creatures with summoning. Is this distinction too hard for you to grasp?

mega_jamie · Aug 24, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

But spawning power would work on these summons, and this attribute would probably affect rit spirits, its just too similar for my liking thats all.

A minor step off from the topic... but I am intrigue to hear your comment on those two ...

decently I like it.

Catchy title too.

floppinghog · Aug 25, 2006, 02:44 AM // 02:44

i aint jumpin on any rides or anything, but i would say the same that actionjack just thinks his ideas pose true use. i mean you cant just come up wiht a class and name the look and a bunch of skill and call it a concept..... thats like saying it can dev it yourself. You cant.

make an idea, figure how it would look like and use let ANET do it, thats what they do best.

i would say this class is kinda interesting but still i would decline for this idea. if anything is "evil" it wouldnt be a human in gw, no one is evil, necros have evil aura around their skills and all but they are still humans with great knowledges in dark magic, thats it.

something i think will be coming in Chapter 4 (maybe) is a druid idea class, i would be very interested in these "druids" that left the tyria jungle long ago and disappeared.. i mean maybe its farfetched but its still an idea. See? i didnt make a bunch of skills and called myself god on a good class concept... zzzzz
something that just comes to mind cuz of their revelance to the jungle is vine attacks or snaring or something, whatever its open to other addies............
