I’ve been thinking of how to make a bard a class, and I was thinking of something like this: (mostly the ability)
His main weapon would either be a sword or a wand, I don’t really care. I was thinking sword to give him some dps whilst not making him a total backliner. If he is given a wand, sure, he’s now a backliner, but with limited contributions to DPS, kinda like priest. Both could work, given a bard’s role in games like DnD.
His ability is where I was really thinking.
His item of choice is an instrument. Preferably string, but honestly it doesn’t matter.
What it does: It is a hold-to-activate, kind of like a ninja’s speedy. While it is activated, he applies a small radius in which there is a large wisdom buff to everyone within it. This ability will allow groups to use lots of abilities.
Drawbacks: Movement debuff (slow or paralyze) to the bard while it is active, this is to prevent aggressive positioning with the group. Either you push and lose your buffs, or you stay to protect the bard. The bard CLASS is ALWAYS immune to the wisdom buff, and will never be affected by it, to prevent bards from stacking to permabuff. The buff radius will also cast pet stasis on all bards in the area as well, to balance OP pets. The class itself will have high mana, low wisdom, and high mana cost, to reduce spamability.
Possible UT Ideas: Armored buff during casting, like Jugg, maybe some that will augment different stats, maybe one that makes the bard speedy during casting instead debuffed, etc.
His armor is leather, yada yada.
Ring, meh.
Tell me whatcha think. It’d be a unique class.
