[Introducing] Bloodguard, A new hero class.

[chanceless]

Greetings!
A couple of days ago I saw the post "Introducing: the deathknigh class" by Leona -
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulator-server-guides/70231-introducing-deathknight-class.html
Well, to her I just want to say thanks. That post inspired me alot and I decided to make an whole new class - The Bloodguard.

The Bloodguard Hero Class
Then you might ask yourself, wtf is a bloodguard?
A bloodguard is a wizard, but compared to the mage, this class can wear platemail and use a shield. That gives you lethal options against your enemies. The Bloodguard are not overpowered, but neither it is underpowered.. The Bloodguard has no healing ability but instead it has buffed damage through its spells and effects. The Bloodguard cannot aid any of his teammates in combat, unless you see offence as the best defence!

Spells and Abilities
As mentioned; the bloodguard uses his powerful damage to aid himself.
His spells are a mixup burst and dots, you can see him a little like a shadowpriest but the opposite. He cannot heal himself through his damage, and his dot damage is very low. But the burstdamage of his is good enough to defeat its opponent.
All in all; if used right, you can defeat anything!

A few spells:

• Fel immolate - Burns an enemy, then inflicts fire damage every 3 sec for 15 sec
• Amplify flames - Increases the fire damage taken by 100 for 30 sec.
• Ancient fire (channeled) - Deals fire damage to an enemy after 5 sec, no damage if interupted.
• Chain felfire - Deals firedamage to an enemy, then bumps to the closest enemy. Maximum 3 bumps.
• Death and Decay(AOE) - 700 to 900 damage are inflicted every 2 seconds to targets in the affected area.
• Felforged flames(Melee range) - deals damage in a cone of fire infront of you.
• (BUFF) Fiery intellect - intellect increased by 10
• (BUFF) Arcane destruction - increases an ally's spell damage by up to 150 for 30 min.
• Fel flamestrike - calls down a pillar of flame, burning all enemys in a selected area and inflicting additional damage every 2 sec for 8 sec

Armor and weapons
the bloodknight uses platemail and may also wear a shield, the high amount of armor this gives can only be compared by the moonkin. The bloodguard may use maces, swords, daggers and so on. All depending on what class you were before.

Quests and Instances
(this is an option, totally up to you)
to obtain the bloodguard class, you will have to go through several tests to see if you are worthy the bloodguard abilities. While doing this tests you will have to enter the instance; The Seal of Light. Inhere you will find you're most terrible nightmare.
This is an 5-man raiding instance... (o.O) Including crap mobs and 2 bosses.
When finished these questlines you will be awarded with the bloodguard spells and gear. But still keep your old spells and/or abilities. So the class you get is effected by the class you were.

Thank you!
and also; sorry for the RP style, it just sort of fitted in xD.
Please leave comments of what you think, be constructive!

Looks good

[Hellgawd]

Looks like another great idea... one of my upcoming repacks will be a massivew hero class repack with 25 different hero classes, and if yours and leonas look good enough I might include them (with proper credits, of course.) excellent!

[chanceless]

Thanks for the comments. Hellgawd, when i'm done, if you want it , you can have it .

[Illidan1]

This is rather ncie man, Repacks are getting better

[arigity]

heroes sound fun. but since their custom made i expect massive exploitable bugs.

[chanceless]

Well, I might delay it just to fix all the bugs.

If anyone, with the knowledge, could teach me about making custom classes, i would not only love to assist in any projects, I could without a doubt increase my contributions towards MMOWNED, give me the basics...how to make these classes selectable through character creation or custom scripting (such as an NPC called : class chooser that gives you the spells for your class) (although seems difficult in supplying players with a trainer) If i could get these basics down and perhaps learn a bit about scripting I would be most grateful. I'm willing to learn if you're willing to teach, email me or add me on msn: [email protected]

[Hellgawd]

Its hard to get them selectable via the character selection screen. THis isnt what this project is, btw.
And in order to do that, you need to pretty much remake that bit of the wow front end.

[chanceless]

Update - Wrote some of the spells. If you have any ideas or wish to help, feel free to tell

Yay, a Christmas present seeing as its set for the 24th to 25th =D

BTW: If you could make a custom MPQ to add to character selection, you could use Venice's XSun program to distribute it among your normal players too =D

[Hellgawd]

Where do you get thios program of Venices? I WANT! :P

And Chanceless, you should join my repack team.

[The Kingofbeast]

Its not released yet I don't think, I'll keep this post updated with a link if it is.

Can I join your repack team? ^.^

[chanceless]

Hellgawd, I would love to join your repack team, I sent you an PM.

[chanceless]

BUMP - I just felt like bumping xD
