Concept Class - The Devinare

Backgorund
Devinare's were no such thing until the 6th god was given her powers. Followers of Kormir, Goddess of Truth, they are known to have all knowledge, blessed by the 5 gods. They spoke the truth of their foes and allies and forced balance around them. They soon created magic that was unlike any other. They send portals from the heavens that was said to be ultimate power. They thought it was blasphemy. Yet, the total opposite. Devinare's soon became outcasts yet the balance on the battle field.

New Concepts

Portal Spells
Portal Spells are powerful spells released from the heavens. Unlike any other spell these are obstructions so nothing can be shot through it. These spells affect the people who run through them and are nearby to them. When in their nearby area all foes near them move 25% slower. These spells last a while and when they end they send out a powerful charge.

Truth Signal
These skills work only when target ally or foe is touched. This affect lasts for a while and whenever the ally or foe touches another ally or foe it spreads.

Appearence
(Coming Soon!)

Intresting Sounds a little like my Sealer and Judge^^.

Rating:
8.1/10

Here this is you're best CC, better than the Fervor^^.
But some of it are Overpowered you might wan't to nerf it down^^.
I really Like it^^, This is the Only CC which made me wan't to play if it ever releases in GW except for Dubby's Work^^.
Kudos!, Keep up the Creative Work^^!

Thank you

i'll have to read your Sealer/Judge.

Just wondering, what is overpowered about it. Because I agree too just wondering what skills or attribute/energy/health you think is overpowered.

I think Energy gaining primary attributes are overpowered in general, ESPECIALLY if it negates damage as well.

I would go with Damage negation solely, it seems to fit in with the more "front-line" mentality of this class.

The Elite skills are also overpowered.

seems too much like Dervish; nerf to be for Hex only? Oh, and longer recharge for sure (20 sec?)

I like the portal idea a lot! Very original. However, this sounds pretty brutal (cast in middle of enemy Warriors, not only do they get sent away, but if they come back in time for it to expire, they get knocked down!)

I really don't know how to "fix" this, I don't know if other classes will get "anti-portal" skills... if not, then Portals become very powerful on their own.

At least take off the last bit ( If they touch an ally of yours that ally gains the health all the foes that suffer from this condition for 30 seconds.) The spreading to enemies is pretty harsh too, but it is an elite... (more energy cost?)

Holy crap! Is there a cap, or can people end up getting a 19 attribute?!? (or even higher with blessings; +1 att. with Items!)

Either cap it at 17, or just make it a +1 boost for their next skill (most people have a couple of maxed attributes anyway, so this would be truly unbalanced).


EDIT: Just read [M]agna_[C]arta's Sealer. A much better concept, IMO, and frankly it seems you "borrowed" some of his concepts!


(sorry, for the misspelling [M]agna_[C]arta. I still think your concept is better, though, even if the similarities are coincidental).

i did not borrow anything for one thing.
i do have to change some of the elite skills.
i am adding mroe skills right now.
there are skills that boost attributes (ex. Glyph of Elemental Power - Boost your next 5 spells attributes by 2 for 15 seconds! That is up to 18 if it is maxed! not even an elite)

Mordakai, My name is Magna Carta not "Magna Carter".

And Brandon he already spoke for me^^, Also some skills last too long, and some you could just plain it out^^.

Interesting concept.

@ 16 points : 80dmg = 6 energy, 74 dmg taken. Most 5 energy heals will heal for more than 74. Seems like too much energy gained.

in addition to trucker why only every 4 points?
The paragon primary already stinks because it only does something every 2 levels.
Yours would have even more annoying limitations.
Why not every 2 levels 1%? That in the least would make it a little more usable.
But as trucker said 1% every 2 levels in powerfull in energy gain, on top of that it also reduces the damage taken.

Perhaps you should base it of absorbing non-physical damage, or someother thing which is a source of magical energy.
ROFL
I know that is a typing mistake as it said 3 yesterday, but ohhhhhh the evilness that could be acomplised with this level 55 fiends and horrors *drool*

this would be soooo powerfull if you use it with a flare spam, en overpowered in conduration with normal spells to, needs much longer recharge and casting time.
How do you target 2 things at the same time? not saying you can't it would be good if you could, but how do you plan to make it work in GW.
What? why do I want to renew a foe's enchantments?


Other than that the naming could be a bit better, I think that any attributes that end with prayers sound way to monkish.

There now the ciritism is done, it is a cool idea
A battle caster, cool! somehow I don't remeber anyone giving mage weapons to a 70AL 3 pip class(I could be wrong) I wonder why it has not been done before...

The portal stuff would likely look mighty impressive, and can probably be very strategically used.

The enchantment renewing could be extremely usefull and a good addition to the game.

It is you best work and not bad at all, still you should keep improving it.

ridiculously overpowered.

*thumbs down*

thank you Crush.

please dont say its overpowered if your not going to elabortate on what IS overpowered.

I need to revise all my typos. lvl 55 minions lol.
and I am altering the attributes

it's intersting I'll give you that. (even though you mispelled [m]agna [c]arta's name :P) . This class seems like a mixture of the dervish and paragon bringing in the power of the gods and using shouts and chants. It just seems too much like what's already here. You might want to edit loyalty and truthful prayers to make it less like a paragon/dervish and more like it's own class.

one of the biggest thing that has annoyed me latley is when people say something but dont give an answer why they think that.
like if someone said you are stupid but doesnt tell you why they think that...that just annoys me

so when you say it is like a dervish or paragon or both, PLEASE ELABORATE.

and i have 2 shouts??? the warrior has more than that, i guess they made the paragon too much like a warrior

If you actually read I already stated why it was like a paragon and a dervish. They already have a proffession that uses the pwoer of the gods. A DERVISH!
They already have (yet another) class that summons the power of the gods yet again. A PARAGON!!! they have the god-users all wrapped up so make something new!

my concept classes only uses the powers of KORMIR! Read everything. geese.
Paragon does summon power of the gods. that is only the dervish who uses all the gods power.

ranger- melendru
monk- dwayna
warrior- balthazaar
mesmer- lyssa
necromancer- grenth

dervish - all gods

devinare - Kormir

all gods summon power of the gods. read up on your Guild Wars.

thank you im done arguing.

The Paragon doesn't summon the Power of the God.
They don't even have a skill with a connection with the Gods.
Then soon their was a Connection when the 6th On was Promoted.
But their was already a Paragon before the 6th one, So I dunno who do they worship.
So it sounds like Paragons are Godless but Touched by the Gods, Weird.
And I don't find anything Paragon-Dervish Skill here.

THANK YOU Magna.

now that, that is cleared up I am off to make more skills. check out the first post more skills to be added

touch rangers anyone?

portal ideas would seem kinda powerful if you put them at a choke point, especially in pve where the monsters just run through........

that means more AI upgrades.......
and more angry nukers........
and nukers are not easy to work with when they are angry
/runs from cynn


overall 7/10

Well all in all since I don't even like Kormir as a god anyway I'll give this class a 6/10. Can't give it higher because I don't like Telling the Truth :P

Grrrrreat reason!

eww please don't conpare the class to a touch ranger. that is the LAST thing i want it to be compared to. most unskillful builds out there and anyone who detests that i'll be happy to hear why. lol. but that is a pretty funny co-winky-dink by the way.

Actually touch rangers don't make that bad a build if you know how to work it. Otherwise yea they suck :P

And I stil don't like the truth so I'm docking my rating to 5/10

its the noobiest build you can play. it is cheap and takes no skill. there is no "working it" you just go up to someone and start spamming your two skills.

im sure you play it all the time

Correction the noobest build is a build with skills filled with trash which has no combo, strategy and the attributes are too low, like an ele wielding an axe with air magic but he set up energy storage and axe mastery instead, and he maxed axe mastery but he is not using any axe skills but using air magic but hits people around running. x_x"
