Idea yggiz's class adjustments

Okay, I am new to the forums but have been playing CTF on and off for around 4 years now and feel I have a good grasp on how the game functions. So here are my ideas:

Archer:

• Increase instakill range to 40 blocks
• Remove Punch 1
• Add knockback 1 to the sword
• Give the archer 8 arrows on kill

The instakill range nerf make archer take more skill but also awards the player for landing shots.
The removal of punch makes the class a lot less spammy up close but the knockback allows them to keep their enemies at a distance. Before archer could keep pushing their enemies farther and farther away but this change fixes that.

Heavy:

• 10% speed reduction
• 20% knockback reduction

This makes the class feel more "heavy".
Also creates a counter for engineer.
Medic:

• Players on full health with items missing will have a red dot next to the hp display, once items are restored it will turn green.
• Above ideas were from @Miskey
• Players directly hit with a snowball will gain slowness 2 for 0.75 seconds.

The dot is a QoL change and will help new medic players have a better understanding of how the class is played.
The snowballs make medic better at recovering and help make up for the knockback from the snowballs when trying to web an enemy.

Soldier:

• Energy regeneration while standing on the ground is 1.5x of current value.
• Energy regeneration while in the air is half of the current value
• Wall climb's cost is 80% of current value.
• 50% damage taken from the flag.

These changes make it so soldier is much better at carrying the flag and escaping but discourages hovering on walls.

Assassin:

• Sharpness 1 added to sword
• Feather falling 2 added to boots
• Redstone regeneration 25s -> 20s
• Sugar regeneration 15s -> 12s
• All kills during assassinate give credits (compared to just the first)

The enchantments will allow assassin to actually function when its abilities are on cooldown.
The ability cooldown reductions make assassin a more fast paced class.
The credit change should have always been in the game. Kills are kills.
Chemist:

• Damage 2 potions (x12) -> Damage 1 potions (x8)
• Poison 2 potions [5s] (x8) -> Poison 2 potions [10s] (x5)
• Weakness 1 potions [10s] (x3) -> Weakness 3 potions [10s] (x4)
• Healing 3 potions (x5) -> Healing 1 potions (x10)
• Regeneration 3 potions [16s] (x5) -> Regeneration 3 potions [12s] (x4)
• Reduce healthpot energy cost by 50%
• Increase energy regeneration by 10%

Chemist is broken. Insane healing and insane damage. This fixes that.
I wanted to make chemist use all of its kit so I nerfed the damage and healing potions, and buffed weakness and poison potions to compensate. Weakness now does something for once. Damage and healing potions aren't ridiculous anymore. Regen is more fair and poison is really good. This makes the kit amazing for players that are actually good with potions and makes the class have a high skill floor and skill ceiling.

Dwarf:

• Max level 11 -> 12
• Steaks 3 -> 2

This makes dwarf have a little more damage and knockback but less sustain.

Elf:

• Fully charged water element shots gives 2.5 hearts to teammates
• Water element arrow usage 1 -> 2
• Shield lasts 1.5x longer
• Shield can't regen during use
• Shield starts regenerating after 5 seconds without use
• Reflection bubble is slightly larger

This allows elf to play as a ranged healer.
The shield change makes it so that elf cannot spam its shield but allows it to get it team through heavy fire with ease.
Engineer:

• Turret now takes damage from projectiles
• Shifting and holding right click with the sword while looking at the turret will regenerate 1 bar of health every 0.75 seconds. (11.25 seconds to fully heal the turret)
• Turret's arrows are faster and fly in a straighter line
• Enemies within 5 blocks of the turret will gain slowness 1 and mining fatigue 1

This may seem like a huge buff, but it isn't that at all.
Since you can only heal the turret with the sword, the turret is unable to shoot while it is being repaired. This allows any class to come up and kill the engineer while it is repairing. Making the turret take damage from projectiles is huge. Archers have another role to play instead of just shooting into doorways and the other teams spawn area. Mages can take out turrets by themselves. Engi battles can exist. The slowness discourages melee classes to fight the engi but instead promotes teamwork by having other team members shift their focus to the engi. The velocity change on the turret override is because you rarely see anyone actually use turret override so this promotes its use.
Mage:

• Damage spell cooldown increased by 0.2 seconds
• Lightning spell gets increased range

This makes mage much less spammy.
Necro:

• Hits required for a level 10 -> 6
• Mobs give half of the xp of a player hit
• You can have all types of mobs spawned at a time
• Maximum of 8 mobs at a time
• Streak needed for Skeletons 5 -> 4
• Maximum skeletons at a time 4 -> 5
• Streak needed for Blazes 15 -> 12
• Maximum blazes at a time 3 -> 4
• Extra buff level for blazes, longer fire duration

This turns necro into an actual threat and allows it to get its mobs a lot earlier.
Ninja:

• Remove current Silly dust mechanic
• New silly dust: Silly dust has to be held for 2 seconds to turn into invisibility powder
• 64 invisibility powder -> 64 silly dust
• Shifting/immobile dust depletion 2/s -> 1/s
• Walking dust depletion 4/s -> 2/s
• Sprinting dust depletion 6/s -> 4/s
• On kill the ninja gains 16 silly dust, 2 smoke bombs, and 2 hearts
• Smoke bombs give the enemy weakness 2 for 3 seconds
• Loud egg explosion sound is changed to the sound when you drop an item in lava.

This makes it difficult for ninjas to fade in and out of invisibility during combat, but greatly increases its stealth. The new ninja is meant to be played to ambush others, finish them off quickly, and move on to the next target. The weakness makes it so that you are able to have a chance of fighting stronger targets while killing the weaker targets much easier.
Currently,
Pyro:

• On kill, give the pyro 2 arrows
• Arrows 25 -> 20

These changes allow pyro to keep getting kills without needing a medic to refill its items.

 

Archer: You only showed it at ground level, you also have to take into consideration that most archers will be shooting from a higher point which is exactly what I wanted. Archers shouldn't be able to easily insta kill on the same level as the other players. I will agree, for some maps 50 is way too much.

Heavy: 10% slowness is half of the value of slowness 1, players will barely be able to notice it. This plus the knockback reduction really makes the class fit its name.

Medic: The regen thing was badly worded, sorry. I meant to say that when you hit players to heal them, the regen that they get only works until they reach full health so they can't enter a fight with a few seconds of medic regen left. The slowness was meant to make up for being unable to web people running away, and for most of the slowness they would be in the air from the knockback.

Chemist: Maybe make it so the damage and healing potions take half of the energy to use?

Dwarf: Okay i'll agree with you here.

Elf: I can agree with only double kb. 5 arrows for full health for full health and resistance is a bit op. Maybe 2 arrows per shot?

Engineer: I think the slowness is a great idea. It creates situations where a team has to get a few people to take down a turret then the engi itself to control more area. It makes elf's reflect more useful since it can kill the turret using its own projectiles and gives both archer and elf another role in the game.

Mage: I changed the damage to .75 per shot and the fire to + 1 second cooldown. I think this is better.

Ninja: I completely disagree. The new mechanic makes it so ninja can't instantly turn invisible, walk through you, then proceed to backstab you and repeat. The fact that ninja can use invis in combat is so op. My adjustment makes it so the ninja gets more use out of the powder.

 

Sorry, I based all my information off of the wiki. Then make the instant health 3 to instant health 2's. If people don't know how to pot that is their problem not the classes problem. Classes should be balanced around the highest skill level it can be played at, not the regular players.

 

Instant health 3 is 8 hearts. That is twice as good as the steak classes, AND it has more pots than steak. If people are getting 2 hearts from an 8 heart potion they're doing something wrong. And for the pots making up for the mediocre armor, Medic only has 4% more protection than chemist while archer has only 8% more. You also have to take the rest of chemist's kit into consideration. Unnerfed strength, speed, REGEN 3, fire res, and dont forget all the debuffs. You can't complain about chemist having less healing than it already does, because right now its an insane class for people that know how to use it.
