Guild Wars 2

After a good deal of thinking i believe this may be the most lore appropriate way to allow players to Role play as a Golemancer. As someone with 5 Asura and a love of Golems i envision this class as being based around consumable pets which when summoned will assist you in battle until either the duration wears out or they are destroyed. Like other consumable buffs there could be different kinds of Golems, some which act more tank like, some which spray the enemy with fire or dust which confuses them, some which act as heavy burst support. My idea in of itself is also balanced. Like food you don’t need these Golems to compete, its another advantage sure, but with the trading post and the ease of crafting anyone can have a Golem backing them up. The idea is that each Golem would be crafting from a combination of the rare metals (like gold, silver etc) and the more readily avaible metals(Iron) as well as precious gems to handle the advanced ai.

CM provides a useful lore exception to enable non-asura golemancers, with the golemancer crafters either being what an asura whips up to serve an immediate purpose or the creation of one of the other race who using destroyed asuran creations is working to try and replicate the technology. This would explain why the Golems would be only a temporary companion rather than a full time assistant. Perhaps make it possible for a lvl 400 Golemancer to create a permanent Golem or something similar however such a possibility is liable to be OP.

This suggestion is born simply of the fact that as an Asura i want more Golems however i am sure there are people playing all races who wouldn’t mind having a temporary “Mr Sparkles” to help them in content when the going gets tough.

The Fundamental idea is not for these Golems to be seriously Game Changing, rather they are a nice little addition that can make very hard content simply hard for a short period of time. Take what you will from that.
