New profession: the Executioner

Yes i kno what adrenaline is but rage and adrenaline are different, Rage is the only form on energy for the executioner, where as the warrior uses both adrenaline and energy

how can a class not use energy? That would be an auto-matic throw away for the dev team

/notsigned because all the skills are way overpowered.


I think the concept would be great, but let ANet's team make the skills

your not signing it only because the skills are overpowered? And when i said the Executioner class doesnt use energy i meant that only that class whouldnt use it, they would still have an energy bar for the other professions just that this profession doesnt use the energy bar for skills. And like i said before te skills are just ideas

Sweet! i guess i should come up with a skill eh? lets see... uhh...

Tightened Shackles- for 4-12 sec foe suffers from weakness and moves 80% slower.

not really great but its all i can think of =P

thx for the idea but i didnt get the rage and times... ill just make some up!

(I need help with this one) (Anet could work on this attribute)

and in the real world?

I love this idea, alot of thought in it /signed

and maybe, to prevent them from being overpowered, 10 energy and 1 energy generation.

10 energy would be too less mabye 15? But Executioner skills dont use energy

yeah! shouldn't this be in the Concept Class subforum?

The mods were very busy creating that sub forum, so its not surprising that they missed one here or there.

On topic: if you make the energy level of the Executioner too low, they will be useless to most of the subclasses they could try and use. 10 energy, for example, would limit them to adrenaline based classes, as most spells/enchants/etc. take at least 5 energy. What uses is a subclass if you can only cast two spells with a horrifically low energy regen? So don't forget that while you're trying to balance this class.
But thats just my two cents.

ya that was what i was thinking about today and if it had low energy its skills would have to use less energy but if that happened and someone used executioner as a second profession and they could dominate with good skills that cost 10 energy. I wanted this to be put in the concept class forum.

I like 15 energy its decent but not terribly low. I got some armor ideas here:

Head:

Clothe of Execution:
+1 Execution (stacking)

Clothe of Despair:
+1 Torture (stacking)

Clothe of Sorrow:
+1 Judgement (stacking)

Clothe of Whip Mastery:
+1 Whip Mastery (stacking)

sorry i only have head ideas so far.

I would like to pick up the idea of torture again.

Just as we have the assassin as the most dynamic with mobility, the executioner could be the most mobility limiting character and focused purely on only one victim at a time.

The limiting factor would be the executioner's slowness in switching to different targets and immobility upon executing a torture skill.

Skills along the torture line would include the following examples:

The Rack
You and the targeted victim become immobile for torture's duration. Victim suffers -6 health degeneration for x seconds. Victim is crippled for 10 seconds upon torture's end and is damage [5-15%] current health.

Guillotine
Strike an instant death upon victim at a chance of [5-10%]. Usage of this skill slows your speed by 66% for x seconds.

Stripped Flesh
You and the targeted victim become immobile for the torture's duration. Damage victim for [25-50%] their current health. All enchantments are stripped. Victim suffers bleeding for the torture's duration. Duration: [3-7] seconds.

During these immobile states, the torture skill line would allow for other small tortures. Torture is a primary attribute to the class (to prevent expertise exploits). The immobility would make the executioner extremely vulnerable and focused on only one target. They are high yield damage skills because of that vulnerability. Also, these would be considered greater torments. Greater torments would have a high recharge time and disable all other greater torments for their duration. Lesser torments may be used during the greater torments. All torments are touch range. Greater torments prevent all damage to the victim except for touch skills (cant have anyone else stealing the executioner's fun with a sword or anything can we?)

The skills animations would involve racks and other torture devices ripping up from the ground.

Now torture skills would be useful in pvp in combination with the assassin's mobility, but the executioner would be extremely vulnerable to mobbing and spikes.

at first i thot this was just a nother axe warrior w/ mroe deep wounds. but i like how mr. g and others made a real project out of it. If it were some other class w/ these ideas, i would accept, but if they ever used the ideas posted in CC forums, you'd have a duelist w/ a double-bladed sword, an executioner w/ a double-bladed axe, and so on. Thus destroying the warrior, who should remain the main tank, beef in game. if you all really just want the double-blade weapons and cool armors, then petition for those, but i dont think the warrior should ever b replaced by something to similar.

bump-ity bump-bump

Mr G is there any more to say...

re-bumping my old idea

The first one is already an attribute for a profession, i.e Critical Strikes for Assassins. The fourth one seems ok, but depending on skills, it may be COMPLETELY overpowered. Meaning, if you are spreading conditions around, like the dervish, and getting a benefit like adrenaline, health, or energy, that would be a lot of healing going on making you almost invicible, especially in a farming/soloing situation.

-Dean

the first attribute was changed... so now it does something else

it still does basically the same thing, and i dont like how similar they are.

I agree what is the point it would make warriors pointless they could just add an upgrade like 2 handed axes that req strength or something. Same with swords 2. If u made an executioner it would be invinsible therefore totally pointless.

1.75/10

Originality 0.15%
Uniqueness 0.10%
Layout -1.0%
Peoples Rating 5.50%
Rater's Rate -3.0%

I really wanted to give this 1.25 but Peoples Rate.

why should the layout contirbute anything to the overall profession idea?
Also did you read the allthe other posts? Many people helped it and made it alot more origional and unique.

To be more informative, It is just a little part of CCs.
In layouts for me it only goes from -1.0% to 1.50%.
A Layout can help alot in Showing you're CCs.
If a person had a Layout with alot of junk in it, People couldn't read it properly it would be an Eye Sore.
But your's is just 1 sentence, Attbs and Skills and all of these are Scattered everywhere the Thread.

I think this guy's got the right idea ^ ^

You know i cant even remember posting that...must have been back in my hayday of CC loving...

Layout counts for alot, I dont want to even start to read anything messy, especially in the CC forum - Sure my own spelling sucks. But if your trying to make a Fully fleshed out CC (not that you have Funnyman) it has to be put in a way people can be bothered to read

What can i say im picky.


Also Funnyman - leave this poor horse alone

edited the post to make it more "accessable"

Excuse We already have Adrenaline why still Rage?
Sorry, In what I see is an Overpowered BloodLust Warrior Xp.
Sorry nothing Unique About the Class.

Rage -> Overpowered Adrenaline.
Most of It is Overpower

like I've had to say tons of times most of these skills are just "outlines", basically ideas of how some attacks would work

Char is too overpowered.. Needs to be meshed with other chars

Yeah, it is overpowered, but I had one problem with the concept itself. It's this huge guy, bigger than even a warrior.. and he uses a whip? My only problem with this, other than the skills.

I can see this happening. Great idea!

With all the insta-kills this has, it would be extremely hard to balance.
And when it finally is balanced, it wouldn't be much fun to play becasue all you do is either wait for your skills that failed to recharge, or for target foe to meet the really difficult conditions you need to insta-kill.

The best torture skills are the hexes that are a refinement of [skill=text]Barbs[/skill]. Though they would be kinda nice, even if they are kinda covered by Mark of Rothgoth or [skill=text]Glimmering Mark[/skill].

And rage is... well... it's new I'll give you that.
Because of maintained enchantments being pretty strong a class that gains additional energy regeneration through the primary is broken.
You went straight around by gaining additional rage generation through the primary while at the same time gaining a benefit similar to soul reaping by default.
You just made energy mark 2.0 which is new... ...yea... new... I have no clue what to say about it.

Check my slaver it uses whips too, it can torture and educate and 'Restrain Will' probably counts as an insta-kill.
