The Martyr is essentially a combination of the necromancer and the monk. It has the necromancer’s concept of health sacrifice, and the monk’s concept of helping its allies. Put together, the Martyr is a fragile but powerful spirit caster that can keep many allies alive … at a terrible cost to itself.

I like it....Its would be a fun class to play. However, alot of theese skills would unbalence Alot. such as blood to blood ---> inner light combo. It would be good energy management for any class. I would like to see this put in, but it wouldn't. Maybe though, no idea is a bad idea

I think its great, doesnt seem too overpowered atm and lives up to it's name, unlike other concept classes. I certainly think that ANet should consider something similar to this and I can really see some nice synergy with other classes, i.e - bonder + soul to soul ether prod ele. Flagbearer looks a little on the overpowered side however, i mean a global SB? wow.
good work though, Im loving the idea

Very nice. Much more well written than many other concept class out there, and seem unique enough. Might try to give it an attack line of skill as well so it round out more. Kudos

Warrior Lisa · May 28, 2006, 09:33 PM // 21:33

A combination of Necromancer and Monk is Ritualist.

Serves grenth, summons spirits of the dead primarily for defensive purposes, has sacrificing heals, and overall revovles around support though he is very simular to Necromancer in alignment.

However good the idea is, it needs a new identidy.
