Active Abilities:

Spoiler: Mark Mechanics

• The Trickster can mark someone by left-clicking them with a marker. A maximum of 2 marks can be used at a time. When a mark is used on a player, that mark cannot be used on any other player until it is activated (in other words, 1 player per mark).

• When you mark someone with a mark, that mark becomes enchanted with power I (solely as an aesthetic indicator) and is renamed to the player you marked.
  • Let's say you use the Mark of Corruption on Alturia10. The mark will be renamed to "Alturia10", and then enchanted with unbreaking I to let the Trickster know that Alturia10 is marked with the Mark of Corruption.

• Once someone is marked, you can right-click the respective mark within 2 minutes of marking (time left is shown in XP bar) to activate it. At the end of those two minutes, the Trickster who marked the player will no longer be able to activate the ability.

• When someone is marked, the marked player will receive wither 0 (black hearts, no damage) for 2 minutes. This acts solely as an visual indicator of the mark.

• Keep in mind that the Trickster CANNOT mark a player or activate a mark while holding a flag.

• After the mark is activated, its respective effect is removed and cannot be reapplied to the same player for 2 minutes

Spoiler: Mark Abilities

§ Mark of Corruption:

• The marked enemy receives health reduction I (corrupt health boost I; the marked enemy can only have 8 max hearts of health with this) for 10 seconds.
• The marked enemy receives weakness I for 10 seconds.
• Can obviously only be used on enemies.

§ Mark of Possession

• The Trickster, in essence, possesses the marked enemy and controls his/her movements for 10 seconds or until the Trickster himself is damaged.
• While possessing the marked enemy, Trickster is unable to deal damage to any player or take damage from enemy's allies
• The Trickster himself is stationary, he/she cannot move until the 10 seconds are up or until he/she is hit by an enemy.
• Can obviously only be used on enemies.

§ Mark of Teleportation

• The marked player will receive blindness I + night-vision I for 1 second
• The Trickster will have vulnerability II (corrupt resistance II) for 1 second
• The Trickster will teleport to the marked player
• Can be used on both enemies and allies.

§ Mark of Disguise

• The Trickster's skin will turn into the marked player's skin for 1 minute
• The Trickster's nametag (above him) will turn into the marked player's nametag (same username, same color) for 1 minute.
• If the marked player has a flag, the Trickster will also look like he is carrying the flag. However, the multifunctional compass will still point to the true flag, however.
• If the Trickster takes damage from a non-melee attack (projectile, explosion, etc.) while disguised, he will lose his disguise instantly.
• Allies do NOT see your disguise.
• Can be used on both enemies and allies.

§ Mark of Charming

• When activated, a 30 second timer begins. If, within those 30 seconds, the marked ally is attacked by an enemy player, the enemy player's first hit will be reflected back towards him. This not only includes normal attacks, but indirect attacks and Instakill attacks too.
• To prevent complaints declaring, "FORCEFIELD HAX", notifies enemy that his attack has been reflected.
• Can obviously only be used on allies.

Counters:

Spoiler: Counter To

• FLAG CARRIERS (Hard Counter because Mark of Possession and Mark of Teleportation)
  
• Dwarf (Hard Counter because Mark of Possession can drag Dwarf away from flag; also, Mark of Charming can reflect Dwarf's immense damage)
  
• Engineer (Hard Counter because Mark of Possession can drag Engie away from turret)
• Pyro (Moderate Counter because Mark of Possession can drag Pyro away from flag; also, Mark of Charming can reflect a Pyro's instakill)
• Assassin (Moderate Counter because Mark of Charming can reflect an Assassin's instakill)
• Heavy (Soft Counter because Mark of Corruption can greatly weaken heavy)
  
• Ninja (Soft Counter because Trickster can kill Ninja in 2-3 hits)

Spoiler: Countered By

• Assassin (Hard Counter because Trickster cannot block)
• Pyro (Hard Counter cuz it's Pyro...)
• Engineer (Moderate Counter because Trickster's disguise via Mark of Disguise can be deactivated if hit by turret's arrow)
• Necro (Moderate Counter because mobs can see through Trickster's disguise via Mark of Disguise)
• Chemist (Moderate Counter because damage/poison pots are excellent way to uncover disguised Tricksters)

Let me know what you think! Please don't just say "I dun like" or "Nice concept", explain why you dislike or like this class concept and PLEASE, PLEASE give suggestions.

 

Lowering the amount of time being possessed by 5 seconds should fix that. For 90% of maps, at least. Also, the player possessed can still use his hotbar, he/she just can't control his movements.

 

Yeah. If you're possessed, you can drop the flag and have someone else carry it...that is, if you can react fast enough.

 

Very well, Tricksters will not be able to teleport to enemies, only allies. Keep in mind that this can stack (1 ally heavy could be marked by 3 tricksters and all 3 could teleport to him at once). As for the removal of possessing a flag carrier, I'll think about it. @lung @oDrageo @ace_blue2

 

^^^^^^^

Also, mark of possession was nerfed to 10 seconds (scroll up in the comments). This isn't long enough for, in most maps, the trickster to make players walk into spawn. Also, players can still use their hotbar while possessed. For example, if trickster was controlling ninja, ninja could use invisibility to help prevent taking damage.
