Magnet kit

Starting items: Iron horse armor (renamed Magnet)

Abilities: Right clicking your magnet will pull all players within a 15 block radius 5 blocks towards you.
For every piece of iron or gold in their inventory (a stack of ingots counts as 1 unit), you pull the player 2 block closer. If they are pulled to the center of your magnet radius they receive 3 hearts of true damage (ignores armor).

Bonus synergy: Being struck by lightning will temporarily turn your magnet into gold horse armor (super charged magnet). The next time you use your ability you will always pull the maximum distance. The super charged magnet will return to a normal magnet after you use it once (can be reactivated infinitely).

Diamonds aren't metal nor do they conduct electricity, so diamond equipment will not increase your pull strength.

12 second cooldown on magnet pull

Yes, you can pull people vertically.

Here's your pokemon kit nerds!

 

I was originally going to say "iron/gold equipment" so people knew it was armor/swords but I also wanted to people to know that buckets/ingots counted as well.

The pull would be instant but I assume it wouldn't be too fast/annoying

 

Iron/gold ingots, buckets, swords, armor, and everything made from iron/gold excluding compasses all add to the magnet's power.

 

Well, there aren't THAT many iron/gold items

 

I forgot about all that extra crap

They should just stick with:
-Helmet
-Chestplate
-Pants
-Boots
-Sword
-Pickaxe
-Shovel
-Axe
-Hoe
-Bucket
-Clock
-Ingots
-Ore

x2 for everything that can be gold and iron

Those are the things at the top of my head

 

The original vacuum had no cooldown and always pulled players a set distance no matter how far away they are (that's what made the tower traps possible)
The traps made with this kit won't have anything to do with towering up a few blocks and pulling people straight up and forcing them to fall to their death.

You also say "buckets and stuff like that would be complicated", well "Stuff like that" is basically only buckets and 2 other things (nobody carries a clock besides werewolf) so saying it makes things "complicated" isn't true.

The way the kit is now basically lets you throw people around in a fight for more damage, and prevent pre-feast players from escaping as well as have an easier time trapping them. You can't expect to make a trap with this kit and wait all game because the feast winner (late game is post-feast) likely won't be carrying much iron aside from a bucket, an axe, and a pickaxe if they didn't get full diamond.

Personally I don't think my idea for this kit is quite powerful enough because it seems like "use magnet to stop running ppl" and "if they have iron it pulls more" which doesn't sound very fun. I'm trying to think of a way to make using a magnet have a significantly stronger effect on people with iron/gold and weaker effect on people with minimal iron/gold.

Just imagine achilles if it was "wood = 1.5 hearts more damage, everything else = .5 hearts less". That would be super lame compared to having a kit that gets significantly more powerful against things that would normally deal a ton of damage and extremely weak to something that normally does little damage.

Basically I think magnet needs more powerful pros and more severe cons.

 

Not trying to be harsh, but those don't sound like helpful ideas.

- Not being able to attack for 5 seconds would make this borderline one of the worst kits in the game.
- There's a cooldown on the pull so you can't just pull, hit, pull, hit constantly and it's not like it's impossible to attack while being pulled anyways
- Adding a randomness to kit wouldn't be "balancing" even if the kit was OP, it's just annoying.
