[Mr. DK]

A class idea i was thinking of recently:

Short Overview:

Role: Damage/Heal
Resource: Crystals (see below)
Class conditions: Race = (still dont ahve the name for my race jet ). Talent = mage

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lore:

coing soon™

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mechanic:

Crystals: Crsytal is a aditional resource like the Soulestones of the Warlock. There are diffrent colours of crystals for diffrent spells. You need for example red crystals for damage spells, blue for suport ad green for healing etc. They can be obtaint by several sub spells or procs and are consumed on high end spells.

The basic concept is that the player needs to find teh balance in creating new resources of crystals and use them for maximum dps output or hps (healpersecond). He can combine 2 colors for advanced spells. Like a frostfire bolt using 3 red and 2 blue crsytals.

There will be at least 3 talant trees.

1. Summoning - Summon several minions to attack enemys
2. Casting - Cast crystal spells
3. Healing - alterate the inner powers of the Crystals to boost and heal your companions

The main graphic theme of the class are crsytals cuz of their specal meaning to my race. I post Lore soon™ so you can see.

Hope to hear your ideas on this class!

I like the idea, and here are some technical details:

1.) The requiring crystals to cast spell is easily doable.  You can have up to 3 different "reagents" required to cast.  So in theory have up to three gems for each spell.  But you can't substitute.  So if an item is defined as required for casting it has to be that exact item number in the database.  Example:  A spell needs a blue gem to cast, you cant later add a "purple gem that counts as both a red or blue" kinda mechanic.  But you can use a "totem" an item that is requred to cast a spell, but not consumed like enchanting needs rods.  

2.) Correct me if I'm wrong, but would this class also use mana?  I imagine that the crystal would be formed from the caster compressing the magic into a solid form, almost like making a mage's mana battery.  As a side effect to balance, the class could have a class feature that slows down mana regen, but that would allow them to make magic gems.  I could also see certian gems requiring different methods to make, maybe Life gems could leach heatlh instead of mana..

3.) Balance...  This idea is in no way overpowered and I think fits in perfectly into the idea of Maruum.  And ever since I started playing RPG's I have always leaned towards a caster role, so it has my two thumbs up.  The only concern I see is: what happens if you run out of crystals?  The idea of using crystals to control casting adds a wonderful tactical element to the game.  The bigger the spell, the more gems to cast and if a players pulls all the guns out he's "spent."  So what can the player do then, does he have spells he can fall back on?  I think this class is perfect for burst damage and heals.  Massive amounts of damage, but has to pick and choose when to use it.

Godd to hear ill think 3 are good enought.

In my first plan there was mana. But i thought that cooldowns on spellcast would allso do the job. So you dont get to much casts out. An haste rating would have a bigger effect on tha class. But I dont mind using mana aswell.

Yeah The crystal thing. I usualy Thought of 2 Things. A was to create new Gems on casts that consume no gems like a 60 sec cooldown cast creating 1 red 1 blue and a green. Or a 30 sec cooldwond creating 2 of one color. The other Idea was that you have 3 gems wich charges on it. It maximum charges to 20 each and regains slowly scaling with manregen or something diffrent.

This can be easily changed in core. It's emulator who do the checks, not client, so we are able to change this.
