I posted this class in some other forums and ppl really liked it... i hope someone who likes the game will read it and find it interesting also cuzz i've been taking a look at the concepts some guys try to sell that are really crappy!!

Hope u enjoy!!! PLZ VOTE FOR THIS!!!

The Brawler/Knuckle Fighter

The concept of this class would be a mixture of the more common Monk style we see in most games ( such as Ragnarok ) and merge it with the infamous Brawler of many games ( Disgaea for example ). The class has the damage/assist task focusing in some fighting styles and using the class weapon, the knuckles. It has the status of a street warrior, kind of the “Kind Hearted Rebel”

Attributes

Inner Focus (Primary) – The duration of all nonspell skills are increased by 3% for each rank in Inner Focus. For example, with 10 points in Inner Focus, a 10 second lasting stance would instead last for 13 seconds. This would apply to Preparations, Stances, Shouts, Glyphs, Anthems and Styles (The new twist in the class)

Knuckle Mastery –Knuckle Mastery increases the damage you do with knuckles and your chance to inflict a critical hit when using a knuckle. Many skills, especially knuckle skills improve with higher Knuckle Mastery.

Martials – No inherit effect. Many skills related to Martial styles* and Defense are improved by this attribute.

Discipline – No inherit effect. Many skills related to energy management, hexes and enchantments are improved by this attribute.

* The martial styles are something I came up with to make the class seem cooler… but if the mechanics make it hard to use it could fall into preparations category. They shouldn’t be turned into stances since the styles only add up some benefits that will work along with stances. You’ll see what I mean later!!

At Level 20: Hp – Custom
Energy – 35
Energy Pips – 3
Armor – 70

Armor Art and Concept

The armor concept for the brawler is a mix of Ranger (cloth/light) armor and the Monk (Tatoos/Wrapings). Since the armor of Brawlers is something that’s got to be comfortable and offers no restrain to it’s quick moves an punches.

NOW ---- SKILLS
First I want to explain how styles would work:
Styles are something to be compared to a weapon spell but in a more discrete way. You will see next that sometimes a style’s effect is modify the element (fire, cold, and lightning) and damage type of a weapon (blunt, piercing, and slashing). This worthless, apparently, changes are boosted with the Inner Focus and Discipline hexes and enchantments that enhance the power of those weapons or lower a foe’s defense towards some kind of element or damage type.

I stopped as soon as I read the two intterupt skills. saying to myself "WTF!?!?!" those interrupts would be insane, even as elites.

Master Sword Keeper · Jan 16, 2007, 10:22 PM // 22:22

Hmm interesting Profession. I did realise that GW's is missing a full out physical Profession. Maybe it might make it for the nxt chapter (should there ever be one)

Nice try...Great stuff. knuckle Fighter 8.5/10

In a similar vein, Steal Thoughts is at least an elite. Compare, for instance, to Blackout. And also note that disabling a skill also happens to be the most guaranteed form of interruption there is (even knockdowns can be prevented, but there's no skill I know of that prevents skill disabling, and a skill that is disabled while in use is disrupted).

I feel this profession needs some working but I have a "feeling" that a martial arts type monk type fighter will make it into the next chapter.

holababe · Jan 18, 2007, 11:34 PM // 23:34

They were planning on doing a Kung-Fu Monk in factions but it got cut (PCGamer Article)

Great profession, I'd play it and I hope it makes C4

Coloneh · Jan 19, 2007, 12:49 AM // 00:49

I like this alot, i would call it brawler for sure, and it is a little unbalanced at the moment. there arent enough attributes, and there should be an "energy management attribute, also the interrupt "skills" are overpowered(straight through spell breaker). but other than that i think its great.

Hell Raiser · Jan 19, 2007, 12:49 AM // 00:49

I love the idea of a Fist Fighter, Although in some of the skills I notice you mention Adrenaline, yet I see no skills that use adren, Am I just missing something?

Perotti · Feb 03, 2007, 01:54 PM // 13:54

well.... adreneline can be and should be used in most physical classes... warriors and paragons have it and why couldn't the next class have it as well?
As for the interrupt skills i agree that thy're kinda overpowered... it's just a concept class but as i said before... compared to most classes out there i think it's very playable and doesn't mess up the mechanics like the others!
