Guild Wars 2

First of all I want all of you to know that THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE PART TO THIS THREAD. Thank you. Okay, i know it is too early for new classes atm but I still love throwing out ideas. This is my idea for a new class. I hope you agree. (INC LONG THREAD, IF YOU HATE WALLS OF TEXT, PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE CLOSEST EXIT)

The Dominator:

Background: A mysterious old figure has shown up and has been teaching few people the art of the Dominator for years, but now he has shown his teachings to the public and everybody that wants to know. He traveled all over Tyria teaching people willing to know the art of the Dominator and now there are groups of well trained soldiers that have special abilities now. The Dominator is a light armored class. They are strong on control/damage, but not as strong on support. The main elements of the dominator is force, light, dark, levitation, water, and ice. Sadly, the dominator has the 2nd lowest amount of health and armor but their damage and control makes up for it. The Dominator has a few unique weapon types as well. This class is a variant of necromancer, guardian, elementalist, and new elements. They lack in melee, but are great in medium/long range. The Dominator Its combo fields mostly consist of light, dark, confusing, corrosive, water, and a new one, force.

Force combo finisher effects: If it is triggered by a whirl (for example, Whirling Wrath), then bolts fly out of the whirl combo that staggers enemies if the bolt hits the enemy. (Stagger means that they will be interrupted and have a .5 sec delay in skills.) If it is triggered by a leap (for example, Leap of Faith), then you get a 3 sec aura that gives the enemy 4 stacks of vulnerability for 8 seconds any time they hit you. If it is triggered by a Blast (for example, Mighty Blow), then all enemies near the combo field gets pushed back 400 range (maximum of 10 enemies can be pushed back at a time). If it is triggered by a Projectile (for example, arrows. lol), then the enemy that got hit will be staggered.

Okay, okay, i know this seems a little bit OP, but im sure arenanet will tweak and nerf it IF they accept it (which they most likely wont). Before you guys start posting that its a horrible idea and it doesnt fit the lore/too much like other classes, blah blah blah, i just want to say that I did this FOR FUN. So please give your input on how you like/dislike my idea I will add underwater combat and traits later. I hope you enjoyed the walls of texts lol

You have a really good imagination.

Fumo.8735:

You have a really good imagination.

I have a weird imagination. :P

and thats the trooth.

Wow, I can tell you put a lot of thought inot this =D The only thing is that because you sample a few of the other class specifics, it might hurt the distinctions ANet has for the current classes.

But overall, really cool and well thought out!

Very terrible and bad idea. No new classes until they fix and balance current crop of classes.

And really, the dominator? Couldn’t you name the class anything less cheesy?

Um…. did you even read my first/last sentences? I dont expect arenanet to add this on, it was just for my own pleasure. Thanks for your input anyways though
