I like how every race has access to every class in the game even though we all frown when we see an asuran warrior or norn mesmers (really? it’s like the hulk narrating the inception movie) but my idea is that after reaching a certain lvl with a race you unlock it’s exclusive profession. Here are some of my suggestions :
Human-Inquisitor
Fanatics who believe that by purging the unworthy , the gods may return to humanity.
This would be a frontline caster class that uses light armor , maces, foci and staves.
It’s resource would be FERVOR much like the warrior’s adrenaline .The more the inquisitor attacks the more fervor he gains. F1 F2 and F3 are eddicts wich upon activating give boosts to the group ,heal or inflict conditions on the enemy .The effects scale with the ammount of fervor the inquisitor has at the moment.
Charr- Bombard
On the gw2 wiki if you read the article on the engie you’ll see some pics of some kitten charrs in heavy armor and sweet shoulder mounted cannons.What do those guys have to do with the engie class ? no ideea , but the pics would fit perfectly with the bombard .
A heavy armor class ,wich’s resource is AMMO much like the thieves initiative but when it’s full – F1- the bombard pops out that lovely cannon and start blasting away at the fools unlucky enough to be caught in it’s path.In this state he has chilled-like movement speed but has 1500 range and gains cannon specific attacks.
Oh and when not using the cannon it can wield rifles, hammers….dunno, who cares, Shoulder Cannons!!!!
Sylvary-Dreamwalker
Another heavy class .It’s mechanic is ….wait for it….Sleep Walking! With F1 and F2 it can shift between awoken and dreaming state.It uses swords mainly and daggers/shields offhand.In the Awoken state it relies on blocks and speedy movement to get in and bring the pain but in Sleep mode the dreamwalker skims the surface of the nightmare and gets a bit edgy .It’s attacks become mid-ranged and condition heavy with the ability to consume the conditions on the target for burst dmg.To enter either state the dreamwalker must first deal enough dmg depending on witch state it currently is using.Why heavy armor you may ask ? Well , because when sleepwalking you tend to bump into things: furniture , ogres, zergs etc. The extra padding helps.
Asura-The Laureate
This would be a medium armor “pet” class . Bearbow rangers rejoice! just kidding-srlsy dont camp at 1500 in dungeons . Anyway , the class’s “pet” is actually 3 pets .Floating around the laureate are three icosecha, icho……..d20 dice.The dice attack whatever the master is attacking either in melee or in range situations using scept/pistol combinations or staves with strong cc skills. With F1 F2 and F3 they are consumed by either detonating for massive dmg , latching onto the target inflicting conditions or reflecting the next attack.After they are destroyed they regenerate one at a time. Maximum dmg is achieved when all 3 dices are out.
Norn-The Penitent
This is inspired from the npc Rojan the penitent. A norn who has abandoned the wild spirits , blinded by his lust for power , to worship dragon.Luckily he saw the true face of his idol and backed out just in time to save his humani….nornity.Severed from bear ,owl ,moose and whatever else the norns worship he now seeks to regain their favor by punishing himself for his misdeeds.
A medium armored shield wielding class that has a pain bar similar to the necromancer’s death shroud as it’s mechanic. It fills up whenever the penitent takes damage and when activated all the damage he absorbed is then used to either increase his defense or to support the party .The penitent can even take damage for other players , kind of like a two legged aegis with a death wish.
Anyway these are my ideas .I know they may sounds stupid but in my defense I was really bored when I wrote this.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
