Well I can't disagree with it, that would mean I'd be disagreeing with 30% of my priest and 10% of my feral.
So in concept I must say it's pretty good.

A point I have though is that you need Envocation to summon and rez your guardians at a level they don't suck, while you also need an artifact, thus you need Archeology to use it without a 25% effective penalty.(which will probably affect pet damage too as it depends on the artifact)
Thats a lot of work just to have a single pet...

Especially if that pet synchronizes with your attacks, meaning it won't attack unless you attack.
Even more so if that pet requires you to wield a melee weapon.

Another point is the shield, it's better that that of a warrior; Why?
Are archaeologists so muscular that they can carry bigger stronger shields that warriors? ...I hope not.
It is fine if this class uses a powerful shield, but just giving the shield more armor is bad.
It needs some penalty that indicates why warriors without a secondary archeologist chose not to use these shields.

Suggestion:
The shield is magical instead of physical, it looks like a metal hoola hoop(bent in what ever shape the shield is) with a spiritual/magical barrier/membrane in it.
(gungan's shields in SW EP I, yes I know nerdy reference

)
And wielding the shield causes -1 energy regeneration, or you lose 1 energy whenever you take non-armor-ignoring damage.

Adrenaline based warriors/paragons will still like it, but it will be a different category than their shields explaining why they didn't get them in the first place.

lastly:

Quote:

Headgear
-Hairdress

I think that means haircut(which selected at char creation) or a wig.
Perhaps you mean headdress? Which is a collection of any typed and untyped ornament you can wear on your head, from Indian chief 'hats' to a sailors cap.

Darkhell153 · Nov 20, 2007, 07:11 PM // 19:11

You already made an alchemist Magna...it was weird the first time :P (and I know it was weird because I can see my own reflection

). Second off this will never get put into gw or gw2 because people will roll around laughing that arenanet struck a deal with the makers of that stupid avatar tv series. (Or at least they will now, since I forgot to think before I posted this...oops....)

[M]agna_[C]arta · Nov 21, 2007, 09:22 AM // 09:22

@SC
-Uhm, Sorry^^.
I really didn't undertand you'r Feral I was just looking around for a good name.
Actually I asked you before my Sephiroth, and you gave me some ideas.
And I did you'r suggetions but not on the Sephiroth this time^^.
Yup, Headress^^.
And sorry if I got the Shield wrong, It's actually suppose to be same of a War and Para.

@Darkhell
-If they see this it has a large difference from "The Avatar : Last Airbender".
Oh, those before CCs are rejects! The new ones are with name and a "The etc, blah blah"

Remember, it's only through years of training that teachers become selectively dyslectic concerning Ctrl-C mistakes like this.
Us normal folk do not mentally envision what should be written in place of wrong words, though I have a pretty good idea what should be written there.

No need to be sorry MG.
I don't claim some "only I may use" on my ideas; I however do use the post date-time tracker for bragging rights.
So long as they don't go around saying, "It's mine! I came up with it before you where even born!!11eleven" anyone can use anything and everything from my CC's.

Darkhell153 · Nov 22, 2007, 03:09 PM // 15:09

Magna just as a thought....why do all your class pics look elfish?

So you have 70 armor +16 shield and 4 pips of energy?
But you do not have the 75% block chances the assassin has?

The guardian had better have some really low armor to keep the aggro off of you...

I liked the idea better of a 21 armor shield, it needs to make you suffer from wielding it, but it could not be as bad as suffering melee range with plain 86 armor.

Also I'm confuzed on when the primary triggers...
Does Guardian's Strike or Guardian Ka'Yeth's healing abilety trigger it? Or do guardians have hidden skills they use every so often?

[M]agna_[C]arta · Nov 24, 2007, 05:27 AM // 05:27

When you'r Guardian does a skill independantly.
You'r guardian would have same Armor as a Normal Spirit-Type Monster.
I didn't say anything about 75% Blakc Chance.
I think the shield is a bad Idea, reducing the energy regen.

Well that was the question; 'when' does a guardian do skills independantly.

No you didn't so I assumed it's not there, this class like ranger and assassin has 70 armor, both the ranger and assassin have at least 4 skills that give them a 75% chance to block normal attacks.
The dervish has 70 armor too but get blinding skills and several ways of damage reduction instead.
Your Avatar gets neither, it only gets a shield and a guardian as defence.
From that I recon you need to think of some way to keep them allive better, or it will be a pain to play.
Because unlike my priest, your guardian does not benefit from you almost dying, so there is no sence in deliberatly doing so by going into melee without the means to keep yourself allive.

That is why I asked when the primarry triggers.
You can gain up to 8 energy A pop that way, if it happens every now and then; It should be enough to keep your energy up, 1 pip of regen is only 0.33 energy per second.
If the guardian uses a skill every 20 secodns or less that means you have it covered.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Nov 24, 2007, 10:36 PM // 22:36

Well, Ranger, Assassin and Dervish has a Black Chance, The Avatar Specialize on Damage Reduction, Bonding with Guardians, Defence Strengthening.
They are much more on Defence, It would be overpowered having
80 Armor + 21 Shield + 15 Damage Redu + 41 Defence + 15 Insignia
= 157 Defence + 15 Damage Redu
Am I right^^?
The Avatar isn't the Fast Type Fighter nor the Strong but Slow one, They are Actually Casters, under a Fighters Armor.
Unlike the Dervish, The Dervish is a mixture, while this one is just a Caster with some Metal on.
Their Artifacts are just plain Artifacts, The Artifacts looks like a Focus Itme, BTW.
You
you'll know if its a Foci or not.
Cause the Artifact Summons Spirits, and I think people would soon pinpoint what is a Foci or not.
And it's written in the skills whn a Guardian does a skill independently.
And whenever they do a skill you lose atleast 5 energy or more with an additional.
So with max you can gain 3 Energy whenever this happens.
But if you just put it to 12 which mostly everyone does, It can reach 1 energy each.

Assyrian · Nov 26, 2007, 05:25 AM // 05:25

this CC kinda sounds like a shaman and a warlock mixed together from WoW and boom you got this class and...having like5 of these guys = overpowered cuz 1 skill activates for both of them...people complain about RaO thumpers cuz of the pet pressure...so having a "guardian" doing almost the same damage as you with out seperate skills is like...a ranger and his pet on crack ^_^

[M]agna_[C]arta · Nov 26, 2007, 05:46 AM // 05:46

I don't play WoW nor Dota or Warcraft^^.
Sorry I didn't know it seems the same.
It'll be alot better having a Guardian and Pet Same time^^.
This CC is actually based as a Beastmaster Type, But no Mobbing.
This is more of a Pet Pressure, with some Bonding Skills and some twist.
Just imagine a Thumper with Bonding Skills or Ward Spells.
That's all, but having a Gaurdian and Pet seem overpowered.
Any suggestions for Ballancing, And I want to keep the Guardian and Pet, Trio.

System_Crush · Nov 26, 2007, 08:27 AM // 08:27

There's a standard answer to balancing classes with powerful pets in the MMO world:
Squishy
It simply means if your pet is powerful than you should be the opposite.
Making you the priority target, because by killing you your pet will automatically die/become weak.
Generally this means the pet classes get less armor or health than others, no proper weapons(your artifact has that covered)
Their ability to stay alive limited to armor/defense buffs of engineers/golem builders but no healing.
Or no defense buffs but some healing for pet summoners.

You already have covered, that the pet can't be healed with normal heals because it has spirit status; which is a good move in the direction of balance.

Guardian's Boon
-Empowerment, 10e|3c|30r : For 10-45(51) seconds, You gain +10-50(62) Armor and Whenever you're Guardian takes Damage, 25-50(75)% of the Damage taken is Redirected to you.

Evoker's Boon
-Empowerment, 15r|3c|30r : For 10-45(51) seconds, Your Guardian gain +10-50(62) Armor and Whenever you take Damage, 25-50(75)% of the Damage taken is Redirected to your Guardian.

Remove the (now that I see it) insanely high armor bonus.
Not sure if it would be necessarily but you could reduce the amount of damage transferred.

-Specializes in Buffing and Protecting you're Allies and especially Summoned Creatures and Pets.

WTB a succubus pet and that attribute on my (now, long since abandoned) WoW trial account warlock

In other words, good for a laugh or 2 but not a very good attribute name. Especially if you will be using it on team mates.(what to be afraid of more... scarred ugly necro's or dancing paragons... I honestly can't decide)

[M]agna_[C]arta · Dec 01, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38
