Curse

I did this because my internet was out for a while so I couldn't do much in GW, so I wrote up a class for it. Tell me what you think and if your opinion has anything psychological in it keep it out so the rest of us can enjoy the forums. Or at least the rest of us, excluding the loonies.

Background info:
The Celestines are avatars of neutrality, using both heavenly and diabolic magics, they bring totems affecting other allies’ spells and attacks as well as full blown avatars of certain gods to attack enemies.

New Stuff:
Prayer Totems- totems of gods brought to earth to complete a certain deed. Their effect lasts until they either die from attacks or their effect’s time period runs out. Only one totem may be on the field at a time.

Avatar Summoning- creates an avatar of a god; this avatar will take a role such as healer or warrior and fight the enemy for a specific time or until it dies. There can only be a single avatar on the field per team in pvp and only a single avatar per Celestine in pve.

Calling- calls the power of a god or demon into earth to attack foes or affect party members in some way. Any player can call any number of demons to earth, but if he/she tries to summon to many for their level (summons to many demons that they can no longer control them) all their callings become hostile.

Dimension- this changes the dimension to allow demons into the earth shielding your party members but often taking damage yourself along with your enemies.

Basic Statistics and Weaponry:
100 base health
25 base energy
Base armor also has +20 armor vs. holy and shadow damage each
Base weaponry- Starter Rod (3-5 damage, blocked only by armor vs. physical damage and armor vs. anything)
All magic has a +10% armor penetration against armor vs. holy or shadow damage.

Diabolic Magic-
Invokes the power of demons to deal damage, summon demons, and exploit corpses.
Runic Magic-
Invokes the power of neutrality to create barriers and shields against foes.
Soul- (primary)
For every point in this attribute, you gain 1 energy and 1 health every time one of your callings, Avatar summoning, Prayer Totems, or Dimensions end. Invokes the power of the soul to convert damage to health or energy and create powerful temporary weapons.

WOW.....

Can you say overpowered?

Look at this? Can you see what is wrong with this if you put it in a pvp perspective:

Summon Judgment- 25 energy 1 cast 64 recharge
(spell) target foe suffers 15…30 lightning damage, 15…30 fire damage, 15…30 earth damage, 15…30 cold damage, and 15…30 holy damage. The lightning damage has 25% armor penetration. This spell has a 20% chance to set the foe on fire for 1…3 seconds, weaken the foe for 10…20 seconds, or cripple the foe for 30 seconds.

Lets see:

30*5=150 damage by itself! That is only at a 12 attribute rank, what would happen if you had about 16 attribute rank????????

Approximating here:

37*5=185!!!! Not to mention the condition you add, on fire adds even more damage, while weakness and crippling make them more succeptible(not spelled right, i know) to damage from your teammates....

ALSO: Can you imagin 8 of these guys running around in HA, with Arcane Echo as well, so about 185*2=370 per character. Multiply 370 by 8 and you get 2,960 damage! Now, if you have about 2 people on an opponent, you will wipe out half the other team in 1 second!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, before you post things like that, DO THE MATH!

One last gripe about that skill: ITS NOT EVEN AN ELITE!!!!!!!!!!

Now, about the avatars, it is basically like adding a party member to your team at will. DURING BATTLE! Again, can you imagine 8 of these guys, all with an avatar summon? There would be a party of 16 against a party of 8. Now, that is assuming that they can move around, otherwise, I'm still against it because we DO NOT need another summoning class.

The dimensions I do like, but the weapons seem too much like a copy of the ritualist weapon spells, which basically do the same things. So, as I see it, this CC is a copy of a lot of the classes already out there.........

Not trying to be harsh, so dont take any of what i said up there personally.

Darkhell153 · Jun 18, 2007, 09:02 PM // 21:02

Oops that's one of the spells I fixed on another program and forgot to copy, sorry about that, It's supposed to cause a lot less damage then that and have a lot higher recharge time to make it non-elite. At least I planned that at first, my fixes didn't get transferred. Sorry bout that xD

Darkhell153 · Jun 18, 2007, 09:54 PM // 21:54

Ok all that's fixed up. I even made it more like it's own class now. Srry bout that mix up with that spell (and a few others I found) thanks dean.

Dean Harper · Jun 23, 2007, 07:41 PM // 19:41

Hey, im gonna suggest changing the name, because Assassins are called sins, and with this class being the Sinistra, its gonna get confusing.

Darkhell153 · Jun 24, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38

True Hang on

there that better?

Dean Harper · Jun 25, 2007, 02:55 AM // 02:55

Perfect XD

ugh... do i really have to make this 12 characters long???

Darkhell153 · Jun 25, 2007, 03:23 AM // 03:23

Oh lol, well that's what you get for posting on guildwarsguru

I'm going to try and increase this thread's popularity by putting the thread address on my signature at other sites

Dean Harper · Jun 27, 2007, 05:20 AM // 05:20

Darkhell153 · Jun 27, 2007, 01:45 PM // 13:45
