New profession: the Executioner

New Profession: The Executioner

How this profession works:
The Executioner is would be the biggest and the profession with the highest defense, but would also be the slowest.
Because it is the toughest profession, it would need some reworking; and that’s exactly what happened. The Executioner will use something called Rage instead of energy; the energy bar will still be there just none of the Executioner skills use it. Also the Executioner (because of huge defense) cannot attack on its own, the Executioner will need to use a special skill just to pull off a normal attack (see Execution skills). Also, whenever you kill a foe you will gain 10 Rage and every 2 seconds you gain 1 Rage.

Story/Backgroud
Executioners first appeared long ago in Tyria, but were little known of mainly because most of the people who found an executioner were found dead, but for the lucky that survived told terrible and gruesome tales of him/her being tortured usually with others, just watching others die. Eventually the executioners became more widely known to Tyrians and eventually Canthans and Elonians.

Thank you [M]agna_[C]arta for letting me use your template!!

Whats up with people and one sentence ideas?

Anyway.. yeah.. intersting idea... sounds like fun, and unique... just develope it bit more.

Interesting way to introduce the two handed axe everyone's always begging for anyway. You'd have to put some thought into not making it a warrior by another name...

thx (it was 2 sentences) i was thinkin of other attributes but i forgot them. And a skill was somptin like this... "Binding 15 energy 5 second casting time 20 second recharge Torturing. Target enemy takes +20 damage and moves 75% slower and is set on fire for 3 seconds."

could u also give me some ideas like skills and attributes? I hade an idea of like clothe masks and chains going over his chest and stronger looking then a warrior and usually doesnt have a shirt on.

Try search key word "BDSM"... I am sure you can get lots inspiration there..

Anyhow.. it sound like a Hex/Condtion heavy warrior.

Can try something like a Maintain Hex, or bounding type of skill/spells.

ya i guess it does

Attribute ideas(sorry i'm no good with the names for things)
1. Improves chance of critical strikes using execution weapon-whatever the class weapon is
2.Brutality-Increases power of attacks using adrenaline(say an idea like Crushing Grip, a "bear hug" touch attack which leaves the foe crippled/lowerhealth max)
3.Torture-no inherent effect increases the power of attacks which are aimed at interrupting and lowering max health of foe
4.Fear-some benefit from chain killing/buffs to your team? Maybe some benefit from the number of foes affected by a certain type of skill

Even if it does sound similar to a preexisting build, it had some interesting possibilities. It would be really cool to see you flesh this out, especially if you could give some minor caster abilities as well as melee. Maybe some psychological effects.

WOW I LIKE THOSE IDEAS!!! Those r good (in my opinion) I was planning tht there would be a two-handed weapon attribute like...Increase this and u have a better chance of hitting a critical and increase damage done by two-handed weapons.

And could sum1 add armor ideas?

few ideas of skills (if you want to use them, give credit)

Excusion type: Skills that usually have effect when you use it to kill someone...like:

Public Excusion:
This attack deals X more damage. If you kill a foe with this skill, all your team gain +X% moral boost for T seconds.


Phobia type: Similar to fear line. Hex type.

Pyrophobia:
Target foe decrease X AL toward fire damage, is interupted when attack by fire attacks, and its fire magic attribute decrease to 0 for T seconds.

Xenophbia:
target foe loose X arrow of HP for every creature near it.

Tourture type: Hex that need to be maintain, usually with a condition (like in touch distance, and can only apply one touture skill at one time).

Pulling Tooth:
Target foe suffer Bleeding and is interupted evertime it is hit with damage that is more than 10% of its HP. Last as long as you are in touch distance.

Well, that is just examples. Might be useable in a Excusioner class, or a Warlock/Heretic class, or a Defiler class....

A few suggestions:
(I see a lot of problems with this build- it would probably replace warriors since they have had very few positive modifications and a lot of nerfs. This would probably have a maximum armor level of 70-90 and would specialize in demoralizing skills and damaging attacks. To balance this, they would need a slower attack speed or weakening/changing of attributes.)

Class:
Executioner

Attributes:
Fear (primary)- Increases the chances that a foe striking you in melee will miss. This makes morale-draining skills stronger
Brutality- Weapon mastery attribute. Increases the chances of making a critical hit while wielding a (executioner 2-handed weapon). Combat skills become stronger.
Endurance- Increases your total health. Self-healing and defensive skills become stronger.
Efficiency- Weapon mastery attribute. Increases the chances of making a critical hit while wielding a (executioner 1-handed weapon). Combat skills become stronger.
________(?)- (need another attribute to aid in balance)

Armor:
Painmail (Health bonuses)
Executioners Shroud (Energy bonuses)
Storm Plating (Elemental defense bonuses)
Barbaric _______ (Physical defense bonuses)

Weapons:
1-handed- (no clue what to call them, but would look something like a large sword with fins/spikes/barbs towards the end of the blade)
Off-hand- I think bracers would be good for defensive bonuses, possibly a skull or scroll (fluff-wise it would have the names of his… jobs…) for bonuses similar to a caster’s off-hand.
2-handed- (no clue what to call them, but they would be huge axes)

Thx, wouldnt the i handed be like a barbed whip or sumptin? and the two handed a Berserker axe? Nice ideas tho.

I got New Ideas:
Armor:
Blood stained shround
Chained Chest
Plate legs
Blood stained gloves
? boots

Weapons:
Barbed sword(one handed)
Berserker Axe(two handed) or butcher's axe
Double Axe (two handed (one axe in each hand))

Attributes:
Fear
Torturing (i like this one)
Brutality
death mastery (or sumptin) (more damage done when enemy is less then 25%)

Here we go:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You may notice the executioners powers are powerful but with high energy costs and recharge times, the idea of the executioner is to play multiply roles but mainly attack normally, and pull out skills when the target is close to death to reap the rewards.

Well that’s pretty much me thought out. I hope I've helped bring your idea 2 life funnyman100, It needs some fleshing out but that’s the general idea - Fell free to use any of this if you ever want to post your idea to anet, best of luck if you do!

^ Mr. G:

Love all the skills name, very fitting. Creative use of skills too, you really made it very unique and fitful to be its own class. Certainly lot better than what funnyman100 could have done....

Nice concept I like it.
Would be good fun to play .
Great names for the skills well done,this is what we need,new ideas,new characters new skills.

Ok taking nothing away from the monk,or the warrior,I would love to see a paladin in full shiny armour,so there was some sort of crossover that could combine the two,rather like a crusader.
Wonder if they will ever bring in elves good and evil,as they did with the dwarfs in phrophecies ??.I just feel that when they bring out new addons that 2 characters are not enough,maybe I'm being greedy here,but it is so nice to have plenty of choice.

I love your ideas Mr G. Some of the skills maybe be a little overpowered in combination with particular professions, but overall, nice job!

Well thank you all

I realise some of the abilities are quite overpowered and needs a lot of balanceing...I never really thought of the havock you could wreak with combined classes. Also possibly the Executioners strike special ability many need to be toned down (Could you image it with something like Apply posion?)

Still I do like this class....I like to think of it as a health mesmer, where mesemers have to pay close attention to the foes energy the executioner need to pay close atgtention to the foes health, knowing how much is left, how much damage your going to do the chance of them surving.

I made a lot of the skills double edged in a attepmt to ballance this but still.......and I may have made "The Gallows" to starwars-ish....

I just wanna use the trails

Even thou its not my idea (funnyman100's in fact) its summit I'd like to see improved, in the hopes it wont just be another warrior clone - Any more suggestions?

To Quote action jack (who by my reasearch seems to be the king of CC)

"everyone likes pictures"

Heres what i dug up

These two are a rough Idea of what it could be, I like the weapon in the first one - Perhaps not so sexist thou...DOnt want anet getting sued lol



Now this is creepily simular to what i though for this class, the sort of witch hunter outfir, just replace that sword with an dagger and that hammer on that chain with an axe (BTW thats what the axe chain should look like)



Weapons - from the simple axe to the Ascended killing machine


to

to any of these


I realise this is alot but it may help the case....Besides...I REALLY want that witch hunter armour

I REALLY DO NOT like this Idea! It would completely destroy the warrior becuase: obviously everyone is expecting this guy to be huge and buff and just look like he's going to destroy everything in sight, he would probably be using warrior weapons, he would be a complete duplicate of the warrior, just wearing lighter armor, and with his creation no one would want to make warrior characters anymore.

ya i kno but what if it moved slower? like it ran slower and attacked slower or sumptin?

I would think that the Executioner class would play like "Astaroth" from Soul Calibur II - big, slow but devastating. Some skill concepts:

"Begone!" Elite Shout. 15 Energy. Caster loses all remaining energy. Any dead foes in the area cannot be resurected for (X) seconds. All Bound Spirits (ranger and rit) in the area are destroyed.

"Finish Him" Elite Shout. Lose all adrenaline. Lasts 10 seconds. If target foe is below (90% - 50%) that foe recieves 20% less benefit from healing, suffers from ( -1 to -3) health degeneration and moves 30% slower.

Grenths Scourge - 1 cast time. 10 energy.Spell. Summon Grenths Scrouge to torment your foes. For each condition suffered, target nearby foes take (10 - 20 damage)

Grenths lash - Spell. 1/4 cast. 10 energy. 10 recharge. This spell has 1/2 the normal range. Grenths Lash whips your targeted foe, interrupting any skill being used and leaves your foe dazed for (5 - 20) seconds.

i just thought of an idea for the executioner... like the bound spirits there could be a torture type skill the summons a tortured soul of a dead ally or just a spirit that would hover over target enemy and renders him motionless and has a health degeneration on the enemyof -1 to -4 for 10 seconds and the spirit attacks all enemies within range (probably elite)

Just a note, don't forget that there are executioner undead in Kryta(just went through there again!), It might be possible to model some armor after theirs. And you know how every time they introduce a new profession by adding them to the mobs first? Not necessary for this guy! lol. Maybe some of their(undead executioners) skills could be overlapped with the ones you've already used, or replaced if they are just warrior skills.

ya i kno there are executioner monsters. When i saw them they oddly resembled what i sorta wanted for the executioner...

i drew some ideas of what executioner stuff would look like they are kinda weird but here they are...

Got some new skill ideas... (I mixed them with others' ideas to try and make a full perspective)

THE END
(and when i say "THE END" im only saying that thats all of the skills i put up)

K .-. i really didnt wanna post until this idea was cemented a little bit more.

so here goes~

I like some of Mr. G's concepts on the way the primary works. Funnyman all the skills you listed are way way way way f***ing overpowered.

I dont really feel this idea stands out enough to become its own class. Its essentially a warrior/necromancer with some really overpowered attacks.

I think its just better to take the cooler and more balanced skill ideas and dump it into the skill thread.

As it stands, this class doesnt offer any new way to play with exception for the "maintained hex" and i think scorpion wire kinda fills that role.

Its a melee class. Some of the ideas use adrenaline, some use shouts, some use enchantments, some use hexes and spells.

Whats can i say... .-.

i kno the powers r strong i just wanted to make basic guide lines on what some skills would be like i never said these were what they would be. They can always be changed

i would like the executioner to use whips... probably switch the "terror" attribute for whip mastery...

to adress skills being over powerd we would have to make attack time slow. but what if we took out attack time all togather? maybe im just crazy but what if there was a class without the ability to attack unless you used a skill that was an attack? it would fit the style of an exacusioner ya know tourturing ppl until he could finish them with a single or maybe two blows? that would keep him out of the warriors expertise and it would (to me maybe everyone here hates the idea) make another interesting meele class.

But the problem without out atacking is that u can only use skills and the executioner would need alot of energy...

the thing about only using skills... ya thats the point. but as to energy managment hows about replaceing energy somewhat from the class. warriors get there own mechanic (adreniln) why shouldnt the exicutioner? you could do something like fear and it would be like a sin combo. the more dmg you do to someone the more fear the have of you enabling you to do your next torture. or have this "fear" only be used to pay for attacks. that would solve the problem of exicutioner spiking. so your tourchers would be energy based. you kick the crap outta some monk then you get enough fear to finish up. i dont know this was a really quick idea and fear sounds kinda stupid, but to me not attacking would make this cass fun.

That solves the problem. It could be called... Rage? O and the higher the execution attribute is the more rage u can have and the quicker it regains

mr. g you have great ideas just from one post! very nice =)

A whip eh??? that would look and be really cool. And as far as "warrior necro" I don't see that at all thinking about this possible profession. And even if it was isn't a dervish just like a warrior/Monk? I think that you have a great idea... and if you have more post them because if there as interesting as this one maybe a-net will look at em. Personally I wish they would make 2 more faction/clans (whatever you wanna call em) one could aid the kurz and the other the lux (It could be Kurzicks & Creative Clan Name VS. The Luxons & Another Creative name) kinda off topic tho but once again great idea on the exocutioner!

/notsigned

We already have an executioner, its called a warrior.

W/N for those of you looking for the darker side of the profession.

yes i kno the warrior and executioner are alike and the executioner is sorta like a W/N but it is different in ways like the rage, rage only builds during a fight and if u hit someone u gain rage, so unlike energy i doesnt rebuild an unlike the warrior it cannot attack unless using a skill so both rage and not attacking make it different.

Ever heard of Adrenaline??
