Idea [Class Concept]: Axeman

Bit too op. It's a cool concept just too complicated and op

 

To be honest this was a great idea, however I think there are some things you should keep in mind next time Don't make it to complicated Or OP, I don't think we need any more healing stuff >_> Look at medic, mage and chemist already got that so no more healing pwease >_> I think 1 frenzy is already enough... Just because theres a cool down, it doesn't necessarily change anything, it may be OP but what do we do during that... 30 second cooldown? Just spam everything else?

I also believe we shouldn't be working on new classes, instead we should be focusing on the top priority ;-; Like reworks of a class etc

 

Oh you don't need to edit I'm just saying for future reference incase u make any more ideas

 

IMO The class looks like more of a rework of Mage. Like the idea though!

 

I like some of the ideas, although I feel like it's too much like mage, chemist and medic. The abilities to deal close distance throwing/spell damage without melee, use poison effects, and heal teammates are all used in other classes so it lacks that special ability that new classes should have.

 

Do we really need more projectiles in this game?

 

Yes

This gives me a good idea for a class

 

Mage with axes

 

This is a creative idea and the ranged poison ability has some merit (although the cool-down is a bit long for an ability that only deals 3-4 seconds of Poison II). However as @Xelia_ said, it does seem like a combination of various abilities or mechanics from Mage, Chemist, Medic, Ninja (the permanent speed I) and even Pyro (the similarity of the Summoner ability to Pyro's frenzy mode as you noted yourself) only quite a bit weaker. For instance, the armor is weak (only a little better than Pyro's), the knockback ability is a nerfed version of Mage's knockback spell with Jump Boost (not to mention that the cooldown is far too long), the healing ability heals for a very low amount (3 hearts) 5 second+ cooldown plus 3 hearts can be easily eliminated in one Heavy crit making the ability even less useful, and the Summoner ability doesn't seem to serve any purpose except providing a brief distraction (although the 7 seconds of Speed II could be very useful).

And me being as wary as I am of new class ideas (I'd rather see reworks or updates to many of the current classes instead of adding new ones) the idea of a class that functions somewhat like several classes in one doesn't really appeal to me. Why should this class be added to CTF? More specifically, what does it bring to the table that the other 12 (around that) current classes currently don't? What can it do for the game that reworking or updating other classes can't? How would this class fit in with all the other classes? What's the big selling point here? Right now, I don't see a particularly persuasive selling point. Why would I, as the potential customer (and player), want to spend my hard earned credits on a class that is essentially a watered down combination of other classes' abilities? I think you understand as well as anyone else that the no.1 thing that makes people want to buy something (or try it out at least) in a video game is that they think they can beat up some noobs with it. Therefore, it follows people like classes (in CTF) that are pretty powerful for one thing or another. You know this as well as I do. Yet you've created a class where almost every ability has this long cooldown even if that ability isn't that powerful, thereby making most of the abilities substantially less powerful than they could otherwise be. Why?

Needs some work.

 

True. And I don't expect any new class ideas to be entirely their own thing. There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other classes, as you did. However, my issue with your idea in particular is that it seems to be basically a combination of watered down abilities from several other classes all rolled into one. It just doesn't seem like it would be very fun to play. And you know as well as I do that's the opposite of what any prospective buyer would want. Look at Elf and Necro. Hardly anyone plays those classes, especially Necro, because for most people they're no fun.

No problem.

 

The idea of an Axeman is very intriguing. But it draws from too many other classes, stick to one specialty for it instead of making like Mage (and sort of a necro with the silver fish) simplify it, and you've got a great class =)
