Ritualist > Necromancer Class Idea

[Nahara]

Lich and Draugr

This explanation makes a lot more sense, so thank you for that, but if that's the case with how it works, I almost feel like Lich's power budget should be split into two different abilities (instead of having one ability that raises an ally and/or empowers them, and having it more-than-likely tied to a lengthy cooldown).

I would propose that the class be given a combat res that is a normal spell like Raise and Resurrection (which is fine in the hands of a caster, as SMN has one). With that mechanic off the ability, Lich gets more of it's power budget back to increase the potency of it's empowerment or have a shorter cooldown.

Update
Ritualist
- Changed Skull Ritual to Void Channeling. Also instead of summoning skeletons, they summon Spirits.
- Altered Aspir : Damages a selected target and places a "Dark Payment" debuff on the user for 30 seconds. Dark Payment changes all the MP cost of spells into HP cost (MP cost x 0.75= HP cost). When a spell damages an enemy/enemies, that damage is converts into a percentage of MP for the user (Damages x 0.01 = MP%). Has a potency of 30.
- Removed Tractor and replaced it with Purgatory.
- Purgatory: Changes Dark Payment into a "Dark Reward" buff for 10 seconds OR changes Dark Reward into Dark Payment. Dark Reward doubles the healing effect of Drain.

Necromancer
- Redefined the Opus.
- Renamed Berserker Opus to Reaver Opus.
- Changed Zombies into Pawns.
- Changed Qutrubs into Reapers.
- Changed Formors into Headless.
- Tried to list Lich and the Draugr's effects better.
- Renamed Vampire into Vampyrs
- Renamed Death Eater into Void Eater
- Zombie no longer places a Weaken debuff on the target and its Draugr buff only lasts only 2 minutes.
- Death Release is now Arcana Release and retuned it.
- Arcana Release: Places a "Last Gift" buff on the user's Draugr and removes any Weaken debuff on them. Last Gift increases the Draugr's Damage Output by 15% for 10 seconds. When that 10 seconds are up, the Draugr will loose their Draugr buff and recieve a Limbo Debuff for 5 minutes.

Overall
I went full 4-Kids and tried to remove as much "Death" stuff as I could so it could be more lore flexible. :B
Instead of summoning the shambling remains of the dead, they now summon voidsents. That's better, right? ...Right? ;w;

Just change the name of the Smn class to Necro and the graphics of Garuda to a spectre.

Done. Not a summoning class anyways.

Update:

Ritualist
- Replaced Blood Oath with Grave Robber.
- Grave Robber: Resurrects a targeted character inside a Ritual Site to a weakened state. (Note: can be used in-combat by default, without the need for a trait.)
- Reordered the levels you get Skills and Traits
- Added Cross-Class skills

Necromancer
- Retuned Opus .
- Servant Opus now only increases pets' Movement Speed by 5%.
- Reaver Opus now only increases pets' Physical Damage output by 5%.
- Magus Opus now only increases pets' Magical Damage output by 5%.
- Sentinel Opus now only decreases Physical and Magical Damage pets receive by 5%.
- Retuned Lich.
- Lich: Places a "Draugr" buff on a selected party member for 2 minutes. Healers and other Ritualist/Necromancers cannot be targeted. Can be used for half of the MP cost on a player with a Weakened debuff on them.
- Replaced Zombie with Void Oath.
- Void Oath: Can only be used when the caster is standing in a Ritual Site. The next time the user casts Void Channeling, they will summon as many pets as they are allowed.

I'm not sure se will add a "gothic" class. I think in chinese version they have to censure skulls and skeletons. Not totally sure about it.
Anyway i would love it and it would become my main lol.

I removed all the skeletons and zombies replaced them with spirits and demons. Much more wholesome, especially the demons.

Plus, if skulls and skeletons are banned in China, then they can't adventure in Tam-Tara or Haukke, considering how dark they both are. :B

[MartaDemireux]

Well I meant just for the Chinese client. Global could still use your skeletons, zombies, qutrub and fomors.

No, I like the new one too much now to change back. >w>

[MartaDemireux]

China can have zombies, they just can't have bones showing.

On that note: SE has already made alternate models for all of the existing skeletons in the game for when they release in China. Could do the same thing for this idea.
