On the subject of jobs... Assassin class

[AceofRains]

I've concepted a wonderful assassin class that I just know you guys will love (not really). I had to do some fishing for this tho cuz I threw it away as a note and had to retrieve it from the depths of my computer.

This is a class that goes well in conjuction with Redmage, Ninja, and Thief concepts i've made as well. Please enjoy.

NOTE: this is all tenative. How about you guys help build this a little and we all submit it to the devs, something we all want so see implemented.

Weird how it has skills that increase enmity but also eliminate it.

It seems all over over the place.

I chose that as it can be a great temporary distractor a kind of side evasion tank.
But if shit gets too real it needs to fall back fast.

Hold on how exactly is this all over the place.. Can people please back up their statements?

Only thing I can see wrong with it would be
Rapiers- People would want them for a RDM style class or something of the like
Same as for the Medic ability, I feel that it can be better used on an Alchemic combat style class (a la Chemist from Tactics) but other than that it certainly seems interesting.

I c i c thank you for the feedback. I wasnt too sure about the item abilites myself, but as far as red mage and rapiers go i think this is it. I dont think we need to add a whole 'nother class just for a "deulist" style class. A speed assassin type puts red mage right where it should be coupled with magic from cnj and thm Allow me to explain...

Red Mage:
Major: Scout
Minor: Conjurer, Thaumaturge

The red mage would be a magic assassin type character

Enchant - Pull elements from the aether, the last elemental spell cast by or near you enchants your weapon with that property.
Chainspell - Spells may be used in rapid succession with no cooldown time and no cast time for the duration of the effect
Translation - Instantly switch MP and TP pool values
Delta Strike - Deliver a 3-fold attack hitting enemy HP, MP, and TP
Free Cast - Auto attacks enabled while casting, TP is consumed over time.

Couple this with the transferable skills from CNJ and THM and you have a red mage.

Well then, it makes sense that way, but unless Translation has a massive cooldown it sounds like it would be reallllly powerful but Delta Strike sounds pretty interesting...if PvP is implemented/catches on it would be hell to deal with that.

Yeah translation seems like a toughie to me, i think rather maybe it should trade proportionally.
Or hopefully they can take convert off blm and give it rdm and give blm manafont back. but only in my dreams...
Haha well I think people will be safe cuz I read over 2.0 stuff and they plan on adding PVP specifc abilities. Probably adjustments to your current ones too if your in PVP.. Here hoping to fair fights ^^
