Disclaimers
- I am not looking for developers, I am not looking for hosts, I am simply sharing what I am working on in my spare time to get constructive feedback. This content may or may not be a live server in the distant future, I haven't decided.
- Most content I will be producing is purely for my own self interest in how each particular game mechanic works. I am not doing these things as tasks to achieve for what others would want to play, I am merely attempting to entertain my own interests and better my knowledge of WoW modding and handling.
- This project will get updates when I feel like working on it. As said, I am doing this for fun, not as an obligation.
Introduction
What's up ladies an gentlemen!? Today I am deciding to show you what I am working on every now and then for some fun. To put it shortly, it is custom content project, built as if it were made by Blizzard. All content I am making is to be built as if it was made to Blizzard's standards, without bugs or workarounds. Content may take me longer due to this, but I think the proffessionalism of it will make up for that.
At the current time I have no name for this server, but I have a few that I am spitballing in my head, so for now I am just calling it Project Genesis (I know, I am an artist and a creationist of imagination).

Updated Creation Screen
I decided to go for more of a cleaner look that Mists of Pandaria provided, without copying it fully. It now follows the same 2 page structure, where you first select a "Gender", "Race" and "Class", before continuing to the next screen to do the Customization and Naming. Also included is the show/hide info button; to show & hide the Race and Class information screens.

The Conjurer Class
Conjurers are seers of mystery and illusion. They are practitioners of the arcane arts, having learned through researching ancient tomes to bend the forces of nature to do their will. They can conjure powerful weapons and armor, summon forth great creatures or even cast illusions to fool opponents.
Conjurers are a hybrid class, capable of deal damage according to their talents and equipment.
A Conjurer can focus on melee or range combat by drastically boosting their Conjure Weapon and Conjure Armor spells via the Conjuration talent tree, increasing a multitude of things including, armor buffs, damage buffs, stat buffs and special weapon effects based on which Conjure Weapon spell the Conjurer chooses to use.
As just mentioned a Conjurer has access to many different weapons they can conjure. Each weapon has it's stats based on different situations to further diversify the Conjurer class.
- Swords - Str, Sta
- Axe - Sta, Agi
- Daggers - Agi, Int
- Staves - Int, Spi
- Maces - Spi, Str
However the Conjurer class specialized in the Conjuration talent tree is not limitted to melee combat, with a selection of Range weapons included.
- Bow - Agi, Int
- Crossbow - Agi, Sta
- Gun - Agi, Str
The Illusion talent tree takes more of a support role, focusing more on magical based spells, including crowed control, buffs/debuffs and some lower end damaging spells.
The Summoning talent tree is exactly as it sounds. The Conjurer gains access to summoning powerful creatures to fight alongside them, be it only for a few minutes, or until dismissed. All creatures fill different roles and act differently according to those roles, they are more or less a hydbrid between a Hunter's pet and Warlock's demon.
Ofcourse with such diversity, it is only natural that to keep the balance, like Druids, the Conjurer's only real true power lies in tree specilization. As a class that can crowed control, summon, do melee damage and range damage effectively, is clearly an over-powered joke. Many restrictions will be in place, with heavier Talent Tree reliability than any other class.
The Conjurer will also have access to unique off-hand weapons known as "Tomes", these tomes will have many varying effects also drastically changing how a Conjurer builds their class. Some Tomes will act like a glyph by modifying spells, while others will act like trinket giving access to a bonus spell.
This class is currently still in progress and many things may change during the completion of the class.
Still to do:- Custom spells
- Conjuration talent sree
- Conjured Items
- Illusion talent tree
- Summoning talent tree
- Summoned creatures
- Class specific quests

Closing Notes
Thanks for reading guys, hope you enjoyed. If you have any opinions, thoughts or ideas please feel free to share them. I am posting this specifically to get feedback. Constructive critisism is encouraged. Also, if you have questions regarding how something is done, also feel free to ask. But keep in mind, this is a feedback thread not a tutorial thread.
As mentioned I am not sure whether to take this live or not (in which-case I would take the prject more seriously), so please let me know whether you think it would be worth it or a waste of time. As factors like having to download a custom patch tends to be a deterrent for a lot of players.
