Minecraft 1.9 CTF classes

As most of us probably know, Minecraft will soon be updated to 1.9 aka the combat update. There will be shields, quivers, new arrows and an off-hand slot as far as I know. @NomNuggetNom confirmed that CTF will be updated to 1.9 sooner or later in this quote ''Yes. We would never, ever not update to newer versions. I don't believe that's up for debate.-NomNuggetNom''.

In my opinion it's a great oppertunity to bring back life in some cheap classes! To break the ice with the opponents of this update, allow me to introduce the (hopefully) first Minecraft 1.9 CTF class!

Pyro 1.9:
Here is my idea to change the pyromaniac underdog as we know him today into the flaming dragon warrior it should be!

Armour:
-Iron chestplate with protection I
-Red dyed leather leggings with fire protection I
-Red dyed leather boots with feather falling I
(Armour can be changed to balance in comparison with other 1.9 classes, these were in balance with the current CTF classes)


Inventory:

-Main hand: Stone sword with sharpness I named pyro sword (does 6,25 damage on non-burning targets)
-Off-hand: Fire charge named firebreath
(4 pyro steaks, compass & netherstar activated directly like ninja-redstone, back to main hand like today's assassin using instakill ''all through coding'')


Abilities:

-Pyro blade: The sword of the pyro will deal 4 hearts of true damage on burning targets!

-Firebreath: The pyro can breath fire with the firecharger as a range weapon! this will will work exactly the same as a ghast does, firebreath will have a 1 second recharge (xp-bar) like mage's damage spell, and when hit the ground it creates a fire. This can be spammed, but does no knockback and around similar damage like mage's firespell.

-Inhale/fireblast: When the pyro is crouching, he is inhaling. There will be a 5 second xp bar charge and when fully charged, the fireball turns into a piece of TNT, a fireblast is now possible: The crouching pyro can launch the piece of TNT similar like mcpvp smash's blink to cause a large explosion. (NOTE! the piece of TNT turns back into a fireball whenever the attack is performed or the pyro stops crouching, thus for performing fireblast the pyro will need to keep 'inhaling')

-Blazing speed: When the pyro is on fire, blazing speed is activated. During the time the pyro is burning he gains the speed II & jump I boost (but will suffer the 3 hearts damage)

-Flame shield: Pyro will be passively immune for snowballs and their related effects. Icecubes and webs will melt away when touched by a pyro! BUT! this is also one of the new pyro's weakness at the same time! pyro can be instakilled by the elf's water element and will suffer more from the chemist's potions.

I reckon you didn't even read the thread... Pyro sword's damage is still under ninja's. So how the heck is this more powerful and annoying?

 

This isn't complex at all, just some coding. Elf seems way more complex then this class could possibly be.
Besides, this is not a defending class like dwarf. I think CTF should get rid of classes with a specific purpose (assassin for example, 90% used for recovering and killing dwarves). Besides that, how is this underpowered?

Because this one is final (except the armour probably). The goal of this thread is to introduce a 1.9 class.

 

So now it's suddenly powerful?

''The TNT'': nowhere did I gave a final damage number, also have you read that this attack needs to be charged first for 7 seconds?
''all the spells'': my pyro has no spells. firebreath is not a spell, it's only purpose is to lit people (for pyroblade) or the ground (for blazing speed) on fire. it does no knockback and you can dodge it...

 

You are not listening. Pyro's main goal isn't defense anymore! Besides that, all classes will need some kind of rework regarding 1.9. So there can still be calculated regarding armour and pyro blade's extra damage percentage.

 

Most of my caps are probably been done as a mage, are you sure you don't mean that you can't cap as a mage?
This is not overly complicated. Maybe for you, but not for a decent coder. Only 2 kitslots are in use: mainhand and off-hand.

 

''le pairo'' is not a defense oriented class in 1.9 (if this will pass)! 7 seconds isn't much when staying on guard when defending the flag (hey! a defense posibility!) or when sneaking into the enemy's flagroom. This is false what you are saying. Many people cap AND defend as ninja and medic to name a few examples. I've seen pyro being used in offense as well. Besides, we still have the REAL defending class: dwarf!

 

Funny how you opponents keep contradicting each other!
''way to powerful'' ''underpowered''
''7 seconds are long time'' ''I don't want to be bombed everytime''

I smell bias...
