Class Synopsis:

*I'll post my explanation shortly. I still have quite a bit to learn about ctf. My main inspiration is from a game called King Arthur's Gold. <3

 

I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult. Setting the launch direction as the same direction the player looks as he sets it down. We could use Brawl sponges, as they launch you based on what direction you walk into them or code something new.(of course, not knowing how difficult that could be)

And yeah, I must've gotten right and left click mixed up. Thank you <3

 

1. I should've added specifics, cause the class can definitely have a diamond axe. Armor is something I'm still pondering about.
2. There's nothing complicated about this class. The name implies a profession just as engineer does. I'd like to think an axe best represents the role of a Builder/Craftsman. The workbench is used to create things, so that's not all that complicated. A pressure plate and sponge are both well known items and each one has a simple ability, teleporting and launching players. The shovel is used for digging. If that's not what you meant by complicated, then please elaborate.
3. That'll just be 1 weakness that sits against the ability to block paths, place small holes and give specific classes extra equipment along with giving players extra ways of reaching the enemy base.
4. That one is still up in the air, as I can only say that's the cost of having an ability that I feel can be very beneficial in flag capturing, for example blocking areas to help the flag carrier on his way back. I can also agree this can be a troll tool.
5. Good point and archers equipment could be slightly reduced or have a workbench give bows buffs. It could something other than replenish arrows.
6. Trapping people could be a plus. Successfully trapping a person doesn't sound all that bad. You stopped someone from reaching the objective would be a plus in my opinion.
7. I figured the only way to have the sponges work is if they worked like Brawl's sponges do. I don't know how confusing this would really be, as it launches the player in the direction they run into it. It could be part of an update that let's everyone know.
8. After seeing that the engineer already has this, it kind of does make adding it to the Craftsman pointless.
9. I think all minecraft armor looks somewhat ugly, though I'd like to think diamond pants and some leather boots(can be colored) aren't that bad. Maybe the diamond leggings can be leather and the color of the team you're on, with enchantments of course.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely keep all this in mind when thinking about other class ideas. Don't feel like you're being harsh. I enjoy all criticism and ideas as that's what helps ideas reach that level of awesome we're looking for. <3

 

Only teammates being able to go through walls is an interesting thought. The holes would only last a few seconds and dropping into the flag room with weak armor and weapons actually doesn't sound that bad. Explain why you think the crafting table doesn't serve a very important purpose please. The crafting table could give temp weapon buffs and if it gave ammo, the classes it could give ammo to could have an ammo nerf(not an extreme one).

Yeah, the teleporter can go.

Under-powered armor, though the last point is something I really didn't think about. This class is more of a support as the armor and weak main weapon really makes him a tag-a-long class that can really help others more than himself.

I appreciate both of your opinions and I'll keep these points in mind if I ever come up with other ideas. Thank you.
