So I always have to say, "Any Comments?", "Comments Please^^?", "So?" or "Anyone?, Hello?"

Well, ok.
'll probably regret rewarding your impatience later, but 's not like I am socially correct anyway.

Quote:

Spoiling, Spoiling is a new System, It won't Affect in Battle but in Gameplay, Trading and etc. It is used for easier Gameplay and etc.

First of all that name makes it sound like you don't want in in game.

Second it does work, it works on burocrats or other leadership classes, classes you wouldn't want in your team because of their combat skills.
So they get some bonus "A monkey could use, and be invited to teams for it"
(That was said when discussing what class is not fire and forget play style; on OOC chat; I forgot who said it)
But from what I see your Strategists doesn't need PvE overpoweredness to get into teams, even though(mostly by name) it is a leadership class.

Thats a full caster class setup, it's a little boring for

Quote:

They don't use magic but use technology, or instruments for war.

change either the caster armor&energy or change to a less caster weapon, it should make them a little more interesting.

[EDIT]
On second thought, you could also go with the caster thing. If they Where like geomancers, they'd command the ground to form the forts and walls for them, making it feasible to build them within the casting times.
Or a teleport mage, that teleports in the buildings, finished and well.
Or whatever you can come up with, anything would be more logical than making a building in 3-6 seconds stone by stone, lol.

Quote:

Flag of Alliance
-Construction, 15e|4c|50r : For 5-15 seconds, All creatures within the Area can't take damage from enemy Foes.

The description could be clearer, might want to make it "For creatures in the area, all damage from Attacks and spells is negated."
Also it seems it doesn't include degen from hexes or conditions, that would probably lead to it being some uber defense skill for degen builds.

Lastly; it lasts too long, while it's great for healing up and rezzing if half your party is dead, but that won't take longer than 12 seconds at the very most.

During that time, your team, but more importantly, the enemy team can do nothing, but just wait.
While their buffs expire or while you capture a shrine while unharmable; it's gonna annoy the heck out of people.
The duration should be 9 seconds or something(the recharge and casting time of course would have to be adjusted to keep the skill balanced)

Stolen Possession[Elite]
-Skill, 20e|3c|60r : Steal Target Foe's Puppet or Fort, For 5-15 seconds, After this skill ends the Puppet or Fort goes back to it's owner. The Puppet's or Fort's Duration would still apply and last 10-20% longer (You can steal 1 Fort or Puppet at a time).

Why does a higher attribute level increase the foe's fort's duration more?
That's helping the foe, even though my engineering skills are of course much l33ter than my foe's, I'm not making improvements to a fort for when I return it. Have a set duration increase of 15% or 10 seconds or something.

Quote:

Certificate of Property
-Skill, 10e|1c|20r : For 10-50 seconds, No Foe can steal your Puppets or Forts.

If I have stolen something, I want this skill to also increase the time for which I control that puppet or fort, it would be fitting, and make this a more useful skill.

Lastly, your terrain effects seem like they should affect both foes and allies, why would an oil field only be lit on fire if someone on my team ignited it, it should burn me too; 25% is a way to powerful bonus anyway to be used without reprecusions.

Overall:
This is way to much like a ritualist, with a bit of a warder in it as well, only originality that it's summons block pathing, and it's 'attack spirits' will not stop attacking your target if they themselves are attacked.

You need to do something to pull the all of the constructions away from spirits.

While writing I got an interesting idea, that forts and walls and stuff would be capturable by anyone, not with a skill but like a king of the hill type where the hill stays yours as long as there are team members in it.
It might be really unbalancing, and a bad idea, but it might be really fun too; A single class that would add lots of active gameplay in every single area of game instantly by placing captureable objects that need to be defended and attacked.

It would definitely give the class huge impact, changing gameplay big time.

I see guard towers being erected on the wall of the guild hall, [skill=text]Swap[/skill] being very useful for getting the puppet out of the fort an the assassin inside, if it's empty capturing it at the same time.

They use a Hi-Level of Technology, They can create or materialate a Temporary Obstruct breaking laws of physics.
They are also so Intelligent they can also "almost" match the Gods.
Their Staff or Wands are very unique, Cause it is not a Magic Amplifier but a Remote Control of somekind.
With it they can create things out of just nothing.
I am thinking of the effects it wouldn't look like Magic but more of a Shell or Protect thingy from FFX.
They'll create somekind of Outer-Shell then it'll crack and a Fort, Toer or etc would appear.
For Terrain the ground would look like a Protect-Shell thingy in FFX.
Then it'll just crack and you'll see the Terain look different.

Oh cause it also steals the Fort or Puppet and it's remaining Duration, cause you might just waste it after stealing it the effects would end yet.
It benefits you to.
