Hmm...sorry to say but with the few skills there it's hard to say if your class is original or not. From the things I see here, is really assasin all over.

unholy guardian · Nov 15, 2006, 02:51 AM // 02:51

dual weilding as a primary ? kind of loses a bit of synergy i think

PanGammon · Nov 15, 2006, 07:09 PM // 19:09

Added 2 New skills and 1 New Elite skill to each att.

I wasn't trying to make an assassin. I was trying to make a mix between a ranger, warrior, assassin and paragon that relies heavily on conditions and attacks.

Ryuken Tamashi · Nov 16, 2006, 06:52 AM // 06:52

But the whole point is to make a class which isn't like the other ones.

PanGammon · Nov 16, 2006, 10:22 AM // 10:22

Sorry I said that wrong didn't I.
Well to give a detailed but brief description: the Myrmidon should be a heavy melee damage class with lower DPS than the assassin but with more evasive skills. It also relies quite heavily on adrenaline and conditions and has quite a few shouts to top it off. Basically I wanted a class that doesn't die as much as an assasin but deals more damage than a warrior..........

This is a mish mash of exsisting skills and abilities, using offensive shouts like warrior, dual weapons in a different manner than Assassin (not a real difference), deals melee damage in between warrior and assassin which is definetly not new, and alot of other skills which are basicly mix matches of exsisting skills.

Try this, come up with 3 totally different abilites, and if your going to use something like another class, it should be no more simular than Assassins attack is to Warriors, or Paragons Chants are to Warrior Shouts. Notice that even when 2 classes use some simular abilities, there are some significant distinctions which make it different, and making a weapon class between Warrior and Assassin is half way between not being original, and not being original, it should be equally different from Warrior and Assassin, just like Dervish is equally different from Warrior and Assassin as those 2 are from eachother.

Here is something related which you will find vastly more original, use this as a standard of originality and interest next time you make a class idea.

Helcaraxe · Nov 17, 2006, 11:00 PM // 23:00

nice try, but it's just not new enough

rabbitXcore · Nov 18, 2006, 03:53 AM // 03:53

why do a war/sin mix in one class when it didnt work as a combo all that well?
