[A new class discussion] Painter, do you need it?!

[AquaRyu]

Hi everyone!

I would like to have yours thoughs on my will & ideas of a new class, The Painter!
As I have a deep lack of vocabulary, I’ll use Google to translate some skills, so I hope there won’t be too much words wrongly used

The Painter

Like the BRD, the DNC or the PUP, the Painter is a disciple of the “Show”
So we need a new kind of discipline, the disciples of the art \o/

In his main hand, he would use a painbrush.
On his off hand, a pallet.

For each action he would need:
- Sheets of paper crafted by woodworkers, of course, the paper is not required when he paints on an ally or on an ennemy
- Gouaches (is this english?), they would be synthetised by alchemy. There would be normal gouaches to paint on paper & ennemis, and specials gouaches to paint on allies & weapons.
- Finaly, a lot of actions would use TP and some of theme MP too.

This painter is a melting of the RDM & the BRD,
And he would be played like the DNC.
He is fighting at a long range of battles to support allies, enfeeble the ennemy.
He need to up his DEX to paint faster, and a lot of MND to enhance his painting effects & duration.

The areas skills :
The areas are bigs circles under the ennemies and allies.
Only one area at a time
An area is always AoE
An area isn’t on allies or ennemies but on the ground.
This means that:
- inside an area, ennemis receive malus, and allies bonus.
- outside of the area the bonus and malus wear off.

We also need a new status effect for Thaumaturges:
White distress: this makes a painter unable to paint and to gain TP

I hope this was undertsandable
So, do you like ?!
Have skill to add?!

Have fun \o/
