Analysts are clever and smart Battle Strategists. They plan every step you should do, before you do it into the slightest detail.

HP: 480
MP: 30

13-37 Blunt Damage (Speed of Scythe) Flails have a chance to deal cracked armor to foes of 5%
-------

Commander's: +1 Life >, when Strategicd higher than 12 (max +2 >)
-----

Color: White

Symbol: a White Flag

-----

Skill Types:

Flag Skill:
Flag Skills have Effects, like Wells, only with the difference, that no corpses are required for them, and that the usage of these Skills creates an Item - the Flag, that can be then carried around, making the effect of the Skill mobile, as long the Flag exists. The Downside of Flag Skills is, that enemies can, if they have an Analyst too, "exchange" the flag to take over the effect for their side and so getting a free buff from their enemies. This effect you could call then "Skill Piracy"

Field Skills:
Field Skills are environmental Manipulations that could become then advantageous for your party, and disadvantageous for your enemies. Field Skills are similar to Nature Spirits of Rangers, with the difference, that those effects can't be removed, like its easily done by killing the Nature Spirit, when using Field Skills, the effect will last so long, until it ends, when its duration goes over

Formation Skills:
Formation Skills are "Group Stances", going into a Formation will have special effects for the whole group, but these effects hold only as long, as the group stays in its formation. Will a party member leave the formation accidently or die, the formation will end

Concentration Skills:
Concentration Skills are like Preparations for the rangers, just with the difference, that Concentrations get used together with Magic Spells instead of physical Skills.

Hmm, thats as far as I'm yet for my 5 Mins i thought about that CC, while hearign the song "the Analyst" from Delta Goodrem XD

lol so I got the idea for this CC *g*, Music is Inspiration ^^.

So, Edit will bring later some example skills ...

Example Skills:

Analysis:

Actions Recognize - 5E, 2s, 10s
Skill
The next physical Attack against each of your Party Members within the next 5 seconds will have a 50-75% Chance to miss

See the Weaknesses [E] - 10E, 1s, 30s
Skill
Your selected target will have for the next 10-20 seconds a new Weakness, that will enable you to deal to those foes double the damage, than normal. It can be anything, from physical Damage to a randomous Element that the selected foe gets attached to for the Skills duration.

Revival of the Inner Ether - 15E, 3s, 60s
Spell
You and all your nearby Allies will cast and activate all their Skills for the next 15-30 seconds 25-50% faster

Revival of the Inner Mights[E] - 25E, 2s 45s
Spell
You and all your nearby Allies Magic Spells will deal for the next 1-5 Spells 5-20% more damage

Prevent Dangerous Items - 5E, 1/2s, 15s

You and your nearby allies can estimate for the next 1-3 spells the situations better, enabling you to cast these spells with 10-20% lesser energy

Nice, although The Analyst sounds... Not too fantasy-like. Maybe The Strategist or perhaps Dominator? ;d

Prim attribute seems wayyyyy overpowered, imo.

AshenX · Jun 12, 2008, 03:13 PM // 15:13

Not meant as a flame but you might want to reconsider the effect of your primary attribute. people already complain about a ranger's ability to use expertise for their secondary profession skills. The ability to play an analyst/elementalist using attunement for their preferred element to generate effectively a zero energy cost for all spells at 13 in their primary attribute could be a little.....potent?

For example a fire spell that costs 10 energy gets 4 back from using fire attunement. If you also reduce the energy cost by 5 through your primary attribute tehn the net cost is 1 energy. Since you regen energy during the casting process you would effectively pay 0 for that spell.

1st part of example skills in...

Ill think of something different for primary effect ..

This seems very similar to a build someone created a few done the page the navigator i think. Hmmm also i've been reading builds and you jsut seem to abuse people and offer no constructive critiscm.

Yeah, the Navigator. I came up with that one. It was a strategist-type class that used flags.

PT, you rip-off artist.

Eh, I honestly don't care. This seems a bit more fleshed out, anyway. Navigator was entirely teleportation-based, with some formula-based spike damage (like Grenth's Balance) on the side.

Yeah I read that Navigator thing too...just like another paragon to me >.> Except not imba... your "revivals" and "inner focus" or w/e sounds just like chants and shouts... Flail concept is cool though

Btw those skill names need some touch up, they don't sound very cool. ie Prevent Dangerous Items.
