Idea (Class Idea) Trapper

We really do not need another class or imitation of engineer.

 

Good concept. I like the idea, however there are a few things which i'd like to be tweaked:

If you're giving the class full leather armor without any sort of enchantment (protection, etc.) it will be the easiest to kill out of all the current ones.
+ with the low steak count, you'd die to nearly any class very quickly.
I suggest that you replace the leather chestplate and leggings with chain, enchanted with protection II and keep the leather boots and helmet, and increase number of steak to 4, so it doesn't die too easily.

Instead of the mines dissapearing and turning into grey particles, I think it'd be better if they just stayed as stone pressure plates.
They would still be hard to spot.

The mines should not be able to be placed any closer than maybe 5 or 7 blocks away from the flag. If they could only be placed 2 blocks away from it, most classes would have to be heavily damaged before getting out of the flagroom. (except for soldier, ninja and maybe elf.)
If the mines deal the same amount of damage a regular TNT block would do, it would kill you instantly unless you're playing heavy, (?) (I tested it out on a survival server, and I instantly died every single time except for when I used full diamond, and even then it left me with 4 hearts.) so this would be way too overpowered. Reducing the damage to 3 hearts of true damage would be better imo. And I also think that just removing the knockback from the mines would be better than making them fly across the flagroom, as that is what a normal TNT block would make you do.

The mines should dissapear 90 seconds after being placed, becuase if they stayed on the same spot constantly everyone would know where it is and just avoid it.

The maximum amount of mines the trapper should be able to get is 6 imo, otherwise they would just be able to place mines all over the map.


Summary:
Keep the mines as pressure plates.
Give the armor a buff and increase the steak count.
Reduce the damage and remove the knockback on the mines.
The mines should have a limited living-time after placed.
Make the mines not placeable unless you're 5 or 7 blocks away from the flag.
Give the trapper a maximum mine count on 6.

 

Just as a heads up, I've already suggesting a class like this a long time ago. The thread can be found here: https://www.brawl.com/threads/61972/.

However, your concepts and ideas in this class are relatively well thought out. The idea of being able to place more traps based on the number of kills that you have accumulated is a very interesting mechanic that I didn't think of in my idea. For clarification purposes, however, does the number of traps reset to the baseline after you die, or does it go up based on the total number of kills you've gotten per game?

 

Great idea!
Here is a thought, since the amount of players using the engineer class is VERY low, maybe thinking of replacing it with the engineer?

 

While i do like this class because of its variety [engi gets boring over time], one thing i do not like is how it requires killstreak. If you wanna ask why i dont like how it requires ks, you should ask a necro main why they dont like blaze requiring 15ks. I said this class was similar to engi because it uses mechanisms and devices to damage others. I dont like how this class is kind of a better version of engineer because it is pointless to have 2 similar classes if you get what i mean. May as well replace this with engi. I dont think this is gonna get included within class menu unless it does replace engi or if engi does get removed.

 

i like the class idea, also, i think a stone pressure plate mine would be extremely easy to notice and avoid/disable - so tbh its detonation should be able to be triggered 1 block radius from it, and/or make them stone buttons, levers, or little explosive tnt-looking heads (able to be placed on the ground and walls)?

 

Yes, players will probably notice the mines, but the mines will prevent a lot of ways to capture the flag.

 

even still, 3 hits to break one basically means u have to wait just a mil sec to do it as ur running

so perhaps increase the time/hits it takes to disable/break a mine? (would look more like an explosive cob-web, but still cool?)


EDIT: is it just 3 hits on any other object/block or is it 3 damage ticks like on a player entity (with the red invincibility 'cool-down' for a split sec immediately after being hit) ?

 

reminds me of my idea of a trapper, but i will have many diverse traps, though i didn't go in depth with it
