The Astrologist: A Class Idea by POWER


#1

Hi all! This is POWER, posting on the ideas section for the first time in a while. This time, I’m posting another class idea after I got positive feedback on the mason, a strategy-oriented class that built blocks. This time, I’m introducing the astrologist, a skill-focused class whose ability is a linearly aligned binding chain. See it below:

A shucks! Just before i left, i went on this massive mission to discover class ideas, and one idea was the bound idea you have. (actually i was going tto use it), although mine reflect more of a black magic kind of concept. I was also thinking a star-crossed lover kind of thing, meaning a cupid/bow class.

absolutely love xaklor’s bane.

i dont quite get what you mean by strength?


#3

Strength is the proportion of damage taken by bound enemies for balancing purposes (bound enemies don’t take the full amount of damage): for example, if we bound a grand sphinx to a horrid reaper and furiously attacked the horrid reaper for full damage on the grand sphinx, it would be an absolute joke.


#4

you might want to consider changing the name of the spook-colored astrolabe, subtlety has always been one of your stronger points and it would be extremely disappointing if you stopped now.

I liked this part though, didn’t think many people would catch that dragon god bit:

This reminds me of the “Null Lance” of the Psi Operative in XCOM 2. It’s a nice idea, have a :cookie:.

As for the sprites, I really like the astrolabe, but the T6 astrolabe looks a tad out of place. The others look a bit like compasses, while the last one looks like two rings with one flying away.

when I first opened that link i was like hol-e-crap, you made your way to build an entire website for your ideas (now THATs a lot of work). I like how the idea is well explained and for once in a lifetime- COMPLETE!!! Good work.

I love this idea

This is triple the mason

Awesome class idea!

It has great sprites, well thought-out lore, a powerful and unique ability, and tons of polish.

Oh, and the Astrolabe of Nores is absolutely incredible.

My only concern is that the base stats are a bit high. 75 Att/60 Dex/60 Spd/75 Wis. All of those are higher than the normal 50. I’d suggest lowering the Spd and Dex by 10.

Other than that, amazing concept!

8/10.

So where does the Astrolabe of Nores drop? I want one for the 3.4k likes and 15d read time.


#11

Fixed.


#12

Awesome! Now I’ll bump it to a 9/10.


#13

Those sprites weren’t up to par with what I usually do, so I revised them:

Awesome job with the new sprites! Nice work with the 3D look.


#15

Bump, because I want this idea to get more inputs. Love the concept of stringing enemies together. Really strengthens piercing classes

Edit; jeeze, 4 months? Long live this thread!


#16

Bump we need more good ideas


#17

bump. I saw this for the first time. Also, it’s a interesting, and in my opinion, a really good thread. Also, the sprites are pretty epic


#18

uhhhh but, you see, the astrolabe bound enemies soo they took almost the same damage right? but its a wand class ‘-’ it pierces, the astrolabe is just to do more damage? in this case ill get myself an sorcerer


#19

Overall, this idea appear to be pretty balance and like a wand class as wand classes are very supportive and able to operate on their own just as well as in a group. It’s ability allows great strategy in using it to kill many enemies just by attacking one. This is a great class idea in my opinion.
