Yorick Inspired Necro Rework

Necro - The Yorick Rework
inspired by the really ugly LoL character that no one plays
​

Disclaimer: Every ability in this rework is based on one of Yorick's abilities with one or two exceptions. I really like the LoL champion designs and Yorick is sort of like a Necro and I wanted to create a rework that would be both fun and creative for one of the most stale classes in CTF. Enjoy!

Armor:

Leather Helm [dyed black] +0.5
Chainmail Chestplate +2.5
Leather Leggings [dyed dark green] +1
Leather Boots [dyed dark green] +0.5

Total: +4.5/10

Tools & Weapons:

Wooden Sword [infinite durability]
Iron Shovel [infinite durability, knockback I]
2 Rotten Flesh [heals for 2.5 hearts each]
Golden Ingot
Gunpowder
Zombie Egg
2 Splash Potions of Damage II
Blaze Rod
Compass

Additional Features:

The Necro spawns with 10 full bars of XP. The XP recharges 1 bar every 1.5 seconds upon using an ability.
Necro takes 33% more damage from Dwarves, 50% more from Ninjas, and 67% more from Medics.
If a Necro is healed by a Medic it will only regenerate health at two thirds the normal rate.
Enemy health potions deal true damage to Necro equal to their respective hearts healed. Enemy regeneration potions deal poison damage for the same duration as the regeneration lasts.

Tools & Their Abilities:

Golden Ingot - right clicking the golden ingot empowers the Necro's sword allowing it to deal 3.5 to 7 hearts of true damage (damage is greater to enemies with higher armor) on its next hit (before reverting to its regular damage) and spawns* a Zombie Pigman (with Strength and Speed I) for 3.5 seconds. During the time that the Pigman is alive Necro also receives Speed I.

XP cost: 7 bars.**

Gunpowder - right clicking the gunpowder causes a 2 block x 2 block explosion directly around the Necro dealing damage to nearby enemies and giving them slowness for 2.5 seconds.

XP cost: 4.5 bars.

Zombie Egg- right clicking the zombie egg will spawn a zombie with Speed II, Strength III, and Resistance I for 3.5 seconds. Every 2.5 hearts of damage dealt by the zombie will give one rotten flesh to the Necro, stacking to no more than 4. If the Necro has 4 rotten flesh every additional 3 hearts of damage dealt by the zombie will give the Necro 1.5 hearts of absorption for up to 2 seconds after the zombie dies.

XP cost: 8 bars.

Splash potions of damage II***- hitting an enemy with a damage potion will deal damage and heal the Necro for 75% (3 hearts) of the damage dealt.

XP cost: none

Blaze Rod- hitting an ally with the blaze rod will mark them, shown by turning the rod into a wooden stick, for 5 seconds. If the ally dies during that time period, they will turn into a zombie (the revenant) with the armor and whatever tool or weapon the ally was holding along with Speed I, Regeneration I, and any buffs they had (if the ally had Speed II, the revenant will have Speed II and so on). The revenant will then deal 75% of the damage of its host (with whatever weapon its holding) and de-spawns after 5 seconds.

XP cost: 10 bars.

*mobs are spawned wherever the Necro's cursor is pointed, up to 6 blocks away.
**the XP bar is drained by the specified amount every time an ability is activated.
***this ability is based off of the Vampire Kit from HG.

Damage Table:

Medic deals 5 full hearts of damage per hit.
Ninja deals 7 full hearts of damage per hit.
Dwarf (level 10) deals 5.5-6 full hearts of damage per hit.

Sidenote: posted in CTF discussion because Server Ideas is about half as well read as this section is.
Sidenote no.2: ideally this class (and every other one) would come with a mini guide book about its various abilities and how to use them. CTF had those at one time.

 

Most cool things are often complex. However, part of the reason why many of the abilities work the way they do is because I ripped them off of Yorick's abilities (which are a little complicated, like those of most LoL champions) while making some tweaks or adding a few things here and there.

Thank you.

 

I added the weakness to other classes because the abilities are good enough to make Necro a major problem in the flagroom and by turning it into a kind of glass cannon that's not as much of an issue. That said, I take the point. I'll eliminate the excess damage for any class except Dwarf, Ninja, and Medic.

Sounds good. Added.

 

Why do you say that? Necro's armor in this rework is way weaker, its far more vulnerable to Ninjas, Dwarves, and Medics, it doesn't have steaks, and it Medics don't heal it nearly as quickly. All of that is to compensate for some of its more powerful abilities (none of which can be used in quick succession).

Also, you do realize that the whole point of this rework was to make Necro substantially more powerful right? Especially since current Necro is practically useless.

Because I didn't want Necro to be substantially weaker against all classes instead of just a select few. More to the point, the reason why Necro has special weaknesses against Ninja, Dwarf, and Medic is because all three classes are frequently all over the flagroom and since Necro's abilities (here) are particularly strong in cramped spaces with tons of people (or enemies), like flagrooms. That's not really the case in more open areas.

 

True enough. Fixed.
