Mass Warriors- 25 energy 1/2 cast 6 anger 12 recharge
[Elite Surge] create 100 magically constructed warriors at your location. Each one of these warriors will spread out in a circle away from you and are destroyed if they leave earshot. All foes hit by a warrior suffer 5...100 damage.

O.O
Erm... isn't that just a tiny little bit overpowered? 1/2s is impossible to interrupt. 25 energy is not much, in the great scheme of things, neither. And 6 times taking damage is very little. However, 100 warriors dealing 100 damage is massive. This is so powerful it would put every other skill in the game to shame. A lot of your skills are similarly overpowered (though not as much so as this one).

Other than that, its not too bad. Its fairly unique (though your primary is a more powerful expertise) and your skills are fairly innovative, it godly.

Darkhell153 · Oct 07, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

I'll tie up the loose ends by switching around the attributes and toning the skills. (I actually meant to put that skill at 4 cast and 30 anger

). (for that skill each individual warrior doesn't do 100 damage, it's like shockwave almost, one quick burst with a neat visual effect to top it off

)

Impulsiveness seems to be kind of contradictory to cunning.

Darkhell153 · Oct 07, 2007, 01:32 AM // 01:32

hey I'm impulsive and cunning! And confliction within the mind brings up a lot of powerful emotions, so since so much of this class's power resides in how angry or whatever they're feeling, it would seem that having powerful emotions would work well right?

what remainder is damage?

Darkhell153 · Oct 07, 2007, 01:35 PM // 13:35

basically whatever is left over after all the average is taken into account.
(if you have 50, target foe has 100, you both have 75 and the foe takes 25 additional damage. if you have 200 and target foe has 500, you both have 350, and target foe takes 25 damage (*meant to put a max damage of 25*)

Don't have a lot of time so I'll have to be quick.
There is something interesting in the class.

Quote:

Sorcerers and Sorceresses that act solely on instict, impulse, and base emotion. Always the most cunning and creative in whatever room they are. They use emotional outbursts of power called surges to damage their enemies and emotional outbursts of defensive power called charges which increase their abilities.

Nickname: Emomagician

Don't stick them on emo, make it a little more flexible while on the same theme.
I wouldn't play an emo because I'm not a very emotional person(read: cold and dead on the inside

)
I would play the MP likeness of immense anger and destructive rage, so powerful the emotions can hurt people.
So keep it open, so it'll work for passion, anger, sympathy stuff like that.

Also the reactions in the brain to powerful emotions distort thought patterns, while you may be cunning while emotional you are always more cunning then you are calm.
Though it's also likely the brain is too lazy to be cunning unless its jump started by something or another, making it seem like you are only cunning while emotional, also you may think you are cunning while you are actually not becasue adrenaline strengthens self confidence, just like thinking you are funny when you are drunk.

But that aside, anger associates with cruel and cruel and cunning are a fun combination

First thing to change, balance, balance, balance and balance, be sure not to forget balance, oh and in case I forgot to mention it: balance.
^^Sorry kinda feel like being annoying.

Emotion & emotional block as an attribute name... I guess it's fine, though I'd go with.
Trauma
Sympathy
Jealousy
Angst
Anger
Passion

Just 'cuz it sounds cooler, emotion is broad and also includes thankfulness, forgiveness, guilt and some others which are less... manly.

As the surges rely on emotion, that would mean the primary deals with emotional intensity.

Don't spawn warriors and beings of pure energy, its off theme; manifest emotions into rage demons or ghosts, this black cloud with lots of red eyes and teeth that steams out from you enveloping foes within it and dealing damage, much more logical than a bunch of random armed guys, even if they are angry.

Lastly an easy way to balance some is to type the damage, currently all of your damage is untyped, meaning its all armor ignoring.
While that's nice its also easily overpowered, only the monk and necro have lots or armor ignoring spells, and even then they have plenty of normal ones as well and usually armor ignoring is fully or partially conditional.

all that fixed (well the parts I could understand with my short attention span....)
