I just would like to know one thing: to me it's a *caster* so why it should weild melee weapons? Imo, claw mastery is useless

Its no 100% Caster, the Acoustician was intentioned by me as being a kind of "Battle Mage". So a hybrid form between Melee and Caster.

I didn't wanted to create another boring 100% caster Class, that rusn around again only with the same 0815-Staffs and Rods. No .. I wanted to see something, that combines its magical powers to improve with them their melee battle skills.

As said, this CC is very much inspired by the Sound Ninjas of the Anime Naruto. if you know that Anime, you should have an imagination, of what I think, Acoustician should work like, but I doubt that, otherwise you wouldn#t see in them now a pure Caster Class only.

As system said, it might be better to have large Talons as weapons, if you even would want a melee one
,... Or elbow blades really.
,... Or a double saber, like the one Darth Maul uses, but then with rounded blades (Scimitar-ish)
,... Or a guitar!

If you think of it, they all could be able to 'create sonic waves',... The first three 'slice through air', and the guitar,... Well, doh! o_0.

But, no, really, nice idea, but as far as the weapon goes,... o_0.

Acoustic
1605, from Fr. acoustique, from Gk. akoustikos "pertaining to hearing," from akoustos "heard, audible," from akouein "to hear," from copulative prefix a- + koein "to mark, perceive, hear," from PIE base *(s)keu- "to notice, observe" (see caveat). Acoustics is attested from 1683. Acoustic guitars (as opposed to electric) first attested 1966.

The Akoustos.

not very good at Concept Classes, but I thought of these two skills for this particular class when reading your suggestion.

Moving Particles - moving the sound particles and forcing them onto your enemies. Maybe a knock down effect, or a stunned effect, or lost of hearing for xx second. same as below x 1 deals x damage x 2 Akoustos deals x 2 damage.

and Compacting Particles - collecting all the sound particles produces by another Akoustos compacting them and frozen your enemy (maybe not physically possible but sound fun) this skills is interactive with other Akoustos, say if there's one you need to cast a sound skills then follow with CP, if there are 2 the damage and time frozen is x 2 etc.

just a thought

Why claws? Why not flute, guitar or whatever?

Phoenix Tears · Jul 18, 2008, 06:38 PM // 18:38

Because they are no Wannabe-Bards, like Paragons

.

As I said, I want to create with them a kind of "battle mage", a hybrid class between caster and melee fighter. Claws are yet missing and fit fine to the concept of manipulating Sonic Waves.

Music Instruments belong to real Bards/Minstrels

What's this about paras not being good at leadership? rspike+ anthem of envy= gg, Pressure+ TNTF=gg, etc. etc. Paras are imba imo, we don't need another class that shout/sings etc.

And about de-shouts and chants, that's the great thing abuot shouts and chants they can't be stripped. If they could then good ole [defensive anthem] would be a crappy version of [aegis]

You are looking at this game too realistically (for your own good), and through a very PvE oriented perspective, this would bring nothing new tot he playing field, and would be quickly be the least played class. As for battle mage, that's what secondaries are for.

How about every single character in the class looks like Link from WW and wields the Wind Waker. Only his attacks have nothing to do wi...
Just no.

Right when I saw the picture I thought, "Another class for the Narutards! Damn!"

But this class sounds pretty interesting, good work

I like the idea, but it needs a better profession name then 'Acoustician' [sounds like a type of musician].

Or even better, just add this as the fifth element to elementalists in GWII, so it'll be Fire - Earth - Wind - Air, and then Sound.
