BIG IDEAS for new Classes, Races AND Weapons!

[NeroTheAngel]

First of all the obvious choice:
Archer/Ranger:
We dont have Bows in the game yet but in the loading screens there are different people with bows so I guess its not to much to say that the Archer/Ranger will come in near futute.
Abilities:
- I think a "piercing arrow" which makes more dmg than a normal one and shoot through the enemy hitting another one behind the enemy (with lower dmg) is a good attack skill.
- Another abiliy which could work well against bosses AND players is a "Trap ability" you lay out a trap and people who walk in it are either stuck or slowered and maybe got a bleed debuff.
The elves race would fit pretty good with the Archer class I think since they can get invisible whilc sitting. Besides that we have 4 Human classes but only 2 elves and 2 undead.

Necromancer:
So since we only have 2 undead and would have 3 elves with the archer I think an undead Necromancer class would fit perfect. And with the druid introducing shadow damage it would fit even better.
Abilities:
- For the Abilities you dont really have an attack skill but like the druid who summons a treant you could summon here a skeleton which moves to the nearest enemy and attack them. since it can move it would have either a bit less hp than the treant or a longer cooldown to balance it.
- second ability could be a life drain which damages the enemy and heals you. Of course the heal is not too huge but I think while the enemy is fighting against your summoned skeleton you could help from far with this drain.
- I even thought about a third ability: Like a shadowball with two phases (kind of like the fireball from the pyromancer) When you shoot it at the first phase it makes a bit of shadowdamage, is not that big and flies fast. When you load it to the second stage It would be bigger but slower, makes the same amount of dmg BUT it would blind the enemy for like 2 or 3 seconds.

I even thought about a new race:
Correct me if I am wrong but the smith where you can build your heirlooms is either a tiny man or a dwarf. I think its a dwarf and as such you could have a dwarf race. It wouldnt have an passive race ability because its ability would be that he is smaller and as such harder to hit. This would be the race benefit.
Class for Dwarf:
I could think about a Berserk Dwarf like the ones from Warhammer.
Which brings me too a new weapontype too: Axes (more to that later.

Abilities for Berserk:
- Throwing weapon: you need to have an one handed axe equipped for that one which you can throw to the enemy. It wouldnt be too fancy since we already have the Sword Master who uses Swords as a ressource. But other than the swordmaster you can go to your weapon and pick it up again. Of course this ability has a cooldown so you dont can equip both weapon slots with 2 axes and just throw them around.
- The other ability could be Blood rush: so the dwarf gets a movement and attackspeed boost for like 5 or 8 seconds. Thats technically all. so you cann run faster to the enemy maybe throw a axe on your way and when you there you hit them multiple times.
Since a berserk dont wear plates you could only wear lether.

Now to the new weapons:
-Like I already mentioned the Bow: a bit faster than the crossbow (especially when you reload) but a bit less dmg.
-One handed axe: you can equip them with a shield or like the one handed swords 2 axes at once.
-Two handed axe: the counterpart to the one handed axe. We already have this one by the a boss monster. Would be bit slower than two handed sword but hits harder.
- now a bit fance but bare with me Shadow Staff: We already got a fire and lightning staff but we have shadow damage (druid panther) so why not make a shadow staff which could shoot shadow balls (like this from the goblin mage but as shadow)
- The counterpart would be "Holy crystal ball" So like the ice crystal ball which load your weapon with ice attribute we would have a "holy crystal ball" which load your weapon with holy attribut doing holy dmg. We already have holy dmg with the priest so like the shadow weapon it would fit really well.

So what do you guys think about all of this? Do you agree? Do you have your own ideas? Lets talk about it :D

The devs already talked about a Necromancer - so I assume they already work on it for quite some time.

That would be my dream. Grimmsch is actually the name of my Trollslayer.
