A Little Bit Of Info About The Bestial Mage.
The bestial mage basically specialises in using enemies by capturing skills from them or manipulating them before or after they have been defeated. The Bestial Mage also has other abilities such as being able to transform into certain creatures with their transformation attribute and to be able to use quick Adrenal skills with their Bestial Power Attribute and the ability to control or posses animals with their control Attribute. This combination makes the bestial mage good for close range and long range combat. Most of their elite skills reside in their Transformation attribute, i decided to do this so it isnt possible to transform into one creature then into another as soon as the previous one ends.

Attributes.

Skill Drain- The speed of casting and damage caused by skill drain spells increase with higher level of skill drain.

Control- This attribute controls your ability to control enemy creatures
higher the attribute the better control you have against them, of the better damage you can cause to them

Bestial Power- Your Character efficiency with claws increases with higher Bestial Power, as does the strength of their bestial power skills
[similar to a warriors melee skills which use energy or adrenaline]

Transformation- With higher Transformation your characters power once transformed into a creature is increased as is the strength of their creature’s skills.

Skills.

I’m still thinking up some skills but here is a few ideas:

Skill Drain:

Signet of minor capture:
Casting time: 25 seconds
Energy; N/A
Recharge time: 60 seconds
This signet is only useable if there is a dead enemy in the area. You learn 1 of the fallen foes bestial skills and learn it.
NO ELITE SKILLS CAN BE CAPTURED WITH THIS SIGNET
This signet can only be used 5-10 times
[I’m still thinking about the amount of uses]

Signet of major capture:
Casting time: 25 seconds
Energy: N/A
Recharge time: 60 seconds
This signet is only useable if there is a dead enemy in the area. You learn 1 of the fallen foes bestial skills and learn it.

[I’m still thinking about the amount of uses]

Transformation skills:

Signet of Transformation:
Casting time: 20 seconds
Energy: N/A

Select 1 compatible foe, and copy the selected foes appearance skills. You then become this foe for 45 seconds. If you are attacked whilst casting signet of transformation you are interrupted and the signet takes an additional 25 seconds to recharge

Dr Strangelove · Apr 01, 2006, 08:33 PM // 20:33

hmmm.. most of the skills seem way overpowered, but I really like the idea of a shapeshifter class. I guess if they could change our skills for the snowball fights, they could do this.

malignant-heretic · Apr 01, 2006, 08:39 PM // 20:39

yeah lookin at them now they do seem a lil bit toooo strong :P ill tweak em a bit

shapeshifer may not be a bad name for it too :P

Goats17 · Apr 01, 2006, 08:55 PM // 20:55

I agree, a little overpowered. And what happens in PvP? Mind control? I don't think so.

actionjack · Apr 01, 2006, 10:35 PM // 22:35

Very very nice organization. Like how everything is well put. (but a bit too detailed?)

The tansformation element would surely fit in the game, as it has a very useful and potential role which other class does not offer yet. Several differnt way of how to do such a thing has been suggested before too.

I am not sure if having transforme into mainly dragons is a good idea, more variation on it such be added (transform to a Kirin?) Also why 25 second casting? I am not really sure if Control attribute as well. It just don't seem fitting to such class, and may be more of a Mesmer kind of thing. Also several of its skill just don't seem it would work too well in a PvP.
