I've made several concept classes on other forums, and figured I'd post them here in their own thread as I thought you guys might find them interesting. Anyways...

Martial Artist

The standard weapons of a Martial Artist would be his fists, combined with gauntlets/gloves for calculating damage. The damage type is 'blunt'.
They are two-handed.

With them comes a chance to 'kick' your enemy. After kicking him a mark will appear above him, like a chinese letter. These marks have various effects. There are 5 in total.

Balthazar's Mark --> Adrenaline gain of target foe is increased by 50% for 5 seconds. The mark then disappears.
Melandru's Mark --> All conditions inflicted on the target in the next 8 seconds have their duration doubled. Additionally for the first 4 seconds, target foe cannot have conditions removed. After 8 seconds the mark disappears.
Grenth's Mark --> For 5 seconds, target foe suffers from 1 Energy degeneration. For the next 5 seconds, target foe gains 33% less healing.
Lyssa's Mark --> When applied Lyssa's Mark restores 5 energy. After 4 seconds Lyssa's Mark ends. When Lyssa's Mark ends, the applier steals 10 energy.
Dwayna's Mark --> For 10 seconds whenever target foe is damaged the damager gains 15 health and +1 Health regeneration. When Dwayna's Mark ends all Health regenerated by the attackers is lost.

All gauntlets can inflict one of these Marks. Each Gauntlet will have Dwayna/Lyssa/etc. under it's name, that gods name is the mark it can inflict.
Gauntlets have a hidden mod which gives the wielder's a 2% chance to kick.

They deal the same amount of DPS as Sword's at the same rate, but with closer min-max values, so theyre damage is MORE CONSISTENT.
