The Everburner is a torch-wielding fire-damage class who posses both offence and defence. He could use normal Torches (melee) and and Small Torches (throwing item).

Its okie... seem a bit elm-clone, and somewhat very "nitched".

I would say good.... "IF" you also suggest this as one of the possible proffession for the playable Charr race. (some thread about "new race, new core" type of thing).

Also a touch as weapon sound somewhat "blah". Might suggest something like Fireclaw, a claw like weapon to wear on both hand, that make your hand look like its burning, for both melee attack and shoot out fire balls at range, would sound cooler to me...

well.. that my opinion anyway. Enjoy more CCs.

Not too overpowerful in PvP? What about PvE...?
I could solo any mission in the game with this. Flameburner/Assassin using Shadow Form to gather aggro then using Suicidal Hell to kill them all. Or I could just party with a /monk who resurrects me

It would be killed even more than the assasin, with low armor like that and a melee weapon.

I agree with action jack that torches would not make for the cooles weapons, however fists of fire are a bit done dead too, how about one of those longs sticks with fire on boht ends that are used in parades? they would make a nice melee weapon.
And at that you could throw in a few quarterstaff defencive moves as they seem very fragile.

The damage is over the top, 100...300 is too high but I'll name it barely acceptable for a CC elite,
30...100 for a normal skill that makes you unable to attack for 30...17 seems odd the damage is one shot right?
And insta kills of non sumoned critters is definatly a no no, it would work on shiro or the lich king or what ever the last boss in NF was called again.

But as a sort of extreme version of a shockwave&aftershock ele that uses melee weapons and damage bonuses I guess it might have a point.
Seen the armor numbers that can be thrown up against fire damage, by eles and rangers and wariors with normal armor, the damage would be slightly contained.
Still you would need huge recharge times on the AoE skills, and the durations on the damage enchantments should perhaps be shortened a bit.
Their defence relies mostly on PvE mobs running away from their Dot skills, in PvP that is ok, but in PvE might be overpowered if they have more than 3 good AoE DoT skills.

Might not be the most orignal thing ever, but it looks kinda fun to play.
