Idea [Idea] Phantom

Ok, just because CTF hasn't been released and elf was just released and everything, doesn't mean I'll not post class Ideas. I hope to make quite a few (not saying that 20 new classes should be implied) for fun.

I'll start off with one of my old ideas that was my favorite.

Class Name : Phantom
Description: "A mysterious aura of spirits surrounds them which they can call on to help them in battle"

This class is recovery based class that has both single person attacks and crowd control abilities. I'd love it to be free to give a recovery option for F2P's

Armor:
Leather Helmet (black)
Leather Chest (black)
Leather Leggings (black)
Iron Boots (Feather Falling V)

Items:
Slot 1: Iron sword "Phantom Sword"
Slot 2: Ender Pear "Soul Bind"
Slot 3: Bow "Dimension Tear"
Slot 4: Dragon Egg (Stone of Z'haltor)
Slot 5: 4 Healing items
Slot 6: 9 Arrows
Slot 7: Nothing
Slot 8: Nether Star (Class selector)
Slot 9: Compass

Abilities:
Stone of Z'haltor:
The stone of Z'haltor is a buff/inhibiting item. The item is dragon egg. A phantom may hold it in his hand and right click to throw the stone. Once thrown a 3 block radius ring of fire particles appear around the stone. Any ally that walks into the ring is given speed I and jump boost I; a Phantom gains Speed II and Jump boost II. Any enemy that walks into the ring gains Slowness I and Weakness I. Effects last for 10 seconds. Stone lasts for 20 seconds on the ground. Egg becomes glowstone when the Phantom has the flag. Does not regenerate naturally This can be regenerated by medics and regenerators, but only one stone may be active at a time.

Summoner's Rift:
The phantom can use this ability to crowd control. When the Phantom shoots a block from the bow, a 3x3 area of ground around where the arrow hit will start smoking and playing the sound of extinguishing fires. 2 seconds later, a volley of 9 arrows will fall, one on each block, dealing true damage to any player caught by an arrow. Arrows always rain down at critical damage. The bow must be fully drawn to shoot an arrow. Once ability is used, the nine arrows in the inventory disappear and regenerate after 20 seconds to prevent arrow spam. Medics and dispensers cannot replenish.

Soul Bind:
The main ability of Phantom is Soul Bind. The Phantom takes his ender pearl and throws it at his opponents. If the ender pearl hits, the Phantom will NOT teleport. The player that was hit, however, will get Wither I and a nether smoke particle effect will surround him. For 5 seconds, the hit player may NOT use his abilities or throw projectiles. The hit player is vulnerable to 1.5 damage, or the phantom can pull out the Phantom Sword and deal x2 damage to the bound player Thus will it be more difficult for people to escape. Swords and healing may be used. Ender pearl regenerates 15 seconds after effects wear off. Cannot be regenerated by regenerators and medics.

Now, I know that this is most likely not going to be implemented and has a few flaws, but hey, it's for fun and allows me and everyone else to see what we want in this. In the old post, I had a long list of counters and strengths, but it's too long to do now..
Thanks all for viewing!

Edit 5/25: Cooldown upped from 10 to 20 seconds.
Edit 5/26: Changed Soul Bind and Removed Shadow Dash. Added Stone of Z'haltor. Moved SoZ to slot 4, heals-slot 5, arrows-slot 6 @Wyxar didn't touch that yummy ender pear

 

When he's a smoky figure, he keeps his armor, and yes,there will be a few smoke particles but not a huge mass of them as to render the ability useless. The summoner's rift, if you look at it, isn't too powerful. What my biggest use for this was clearing crowded flag rooms. I can up the cooldown, because 10 seconds is relatively short.

Thanks for the feedback and I'll make sure to get back to you guys on any ideas concerning this.

Thanks,
Draco

 

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.
I really like that people are responding and voicing their concerns. I agree with the Ninja similarities. Even as I was writing this I was like "Wow, this is a lot like ninja." Instead of letting this die, I got some new ideas. Look above for updates on soul bind and shadow dash. Hopefully this changes some problems.
@Ironic_Gentleman @Lujiu @KingBrawl Thanks for the feedback.
