Concept Class Challenge - Corsair/Musketeer

Introduction:
-Hi, I thought of a CCC cause of Darkhell's Commotion about a Bad Guy CC, So I thought of a CCC which revolves around Corsairs^^.
The Most Suitable Job which I can think for GW, with a "Maybe Bad Background".
And you guys can still make a Good Guy Corsair, Musketeer.
I find both of them have a large resemblance except their roles.
While Corsairs are like Thieves, While Musketeers they are like Police^^.
I'll be thinking of a CCC which is hard to think of soon, Which you guys have something in mind^^.
But I am thinking of a Samurai or Martial Artist Next Time^^.

Prize:
-Their would only be one one Winner.

• My Congratualtions^^!
• My Assistance(Optional, Mission/Quest/Farm/PvP)
• Money is not Final, For I am broke(Any Donations^^?)

Judges:
-I need atleast 3 Judges who are Veteran CC Makers(Ex. System_Crush, Actionjack, Nebojat & more)^^.
PM me if you wan't to Volunteer^^.
Judges may still register for the Contest but they need to be fair with their Judging.

Oh I care to judge, wouldn't call myself a veteran, but if I try I can pass pretty just and neutral verdicts.

Btw
-It's commission (Though I don't recall him actually asking).
-And if he would ask, he'd do so for something much eviler than a pirate.
-And you might keep the fact that you're broke for 'after' the contest .

I'll be a judge if you like :P (but then again I suppose I'm the most critical person in here so I might not be the best option xD)

What are you talking about, being critical is all a judge is supposed to do.

yes but I seem to have the ability (which gets me into some pretty bad trouble most of the time) to see every tiny problem with something...and blurt it out without thinking about it xD

Ah, lack of complex thought, a common problem these days

Sorry, I wont be accepting both of you = (.
Well Hawkeye maybe a rooki but he can judge^^.

Comosion as in people talking about.
"Whats the comosion?, Did somebody get hurt?"

I'll be mixing my Musketeer and Rouge for this Challenge^^.
People in Ign doesn't seem like to link GWG threads =p!

A rookie, eh? If by rookie, you mean the number of posts I've made in this thread, maybe. Otherwise, no...

I meant by you're works and experience of CCs not you're Title .

Commotion.(firefox dictionaries )

Thank You^^!

Class:Corsair

Color:
Orange

Energy:
3 pips

Weapon:
Musket (0-50 piercing ranged damage, 12-20 blunt melee damage)


Description:
"Loyalty can be bought," is an expression heard commonly in taverns where Corsairs get drunk after a day of pillaging. A Corsair fights for his own well being, not the well being of his party. Though, the Corsair is not stupid. There are strength in numbers, if only as a meat shield.

They make excellent mercenaries, pinning down entire armies with a wall of muskets. Battles are often bloody and quick, but often there is no fight at all. It is often preferred to the Corsair, getting bounty from their patrons and a bonus from those they capture. When they are not hired by the highest bidder, they are lying in wait in forests for another fat and rich noble to carelessly insist on being escorted through haunted forests.

Im volunteering for judging if you'll take me MC

Hawkeye
Dean Harper
who's next^^!?

lol, just wanted to let you know, hawkeye, orange is already taken by warrior

Don't think I can judge, I can't stop myself from making overly long posts, and if I had to do a review for like 6...8(9) CC's I'd spend so many hours.
I'm already stuck with a load of stuff I should be doing, but for witch I'm just just finding excuses for not freeing up the time.

You don't need to talk about the CC how to imrpve it or such just give a 5 fo suiabtility, 7 for uniqueness, 8 for orginiality and etc.
You my also add few sentences why did you rate that.
or you ay not and wait fr that person to complain for the score = p.

lol, MC, thats basically what i wanted my Cignatus to be, just with cards....


anyway, wat are the categories for the jugding?

@Dean Harper
-Well mine is more based on chances and their are dice skills too^^.
And I didn't understand the function of your Cygnatus.
Well mine is based on Randomize Damage and Condition Casting.
I also use my Allies to increase the effectiveness of spread these conditions cause of the Chance Effects.
Also you may call it too, Buffing^^.
They also have some skills to strip and steal enchantments, armors, hexes and etc.
They are more like Multi-Condition Dealers.

The Categories can be found above^^.

@Hawkeye
-Question whats the function of you're Corsair?

@The Judges
-I'll be needing another Judge I only need 3.
Adam and Darkhell might be both in same Level but Darkhell has some Critic Taste while Adam has some what I call Professional Taste^^.
Or is it because he makes CC which I don't understand at all^^.
There has only been 3 CCs yet.
Bucaneer(Bozo of bones)
Corsair1(Hawkeye)
Corsair2(MC)
We need more entries if you wanna call this a Challange!
Adam, Darkhell, Dean, System you may post too.
The other guys in the other forum said making a Bad Guy CC ain't going with the story line.
So ther have been only 1 Person who posted there .

MC, y dont you go with a different challenge? like a Larcenist? i think instead of a "bad-guy" CCC, you should go with something more traditional. I know basically larceny is left to the Mesmer, but im sure with all of the ideas you have come up with, you at least have 1 more original one Anyway, maybe a CCC that deals with songs or something, or maintained hexes, or sumthing like that.

For others that had to look it up like me larceny = thievery so he is suggesting a thief CCC.

Who would like a a thief class, I think that was already done, Rouge?
Why don't you make you're own.
You like it anyways.

lol, jeez MC, i was just making a suggestion on something you said earlier.... it was just if this CCC doesnt go anywhere... it doesnt have to be a thief either...

Oh, how bout an Avatar CCC^^.
Well I have already an Upcoming CC called the Avatar and I used it as a CC Replica for Hawkeyes Golem Master^^.
BTW it's not an Elementalist and Hawkeye said it was nice^^.
But you can make anytype of Avatar but I aint telling what is it = p.

I will pop in and say Hi ~

Since there were only 2 so far, so I give them both a real quick view...
Both are not too bad...

For now, I will say Hawkeye is better. While MC's use of luck and gambling could add a new style of play, its a bit less original and diverted from the given theme (more of a thief with gun, instead of a Gunman). Hawkeye's are more focus with the topic, and hit the theme pretty well. I like the addition of Sabotage in there. But I think his presentation still needs to be better, and need to add a interesting line of attribute for differnt mechanics.

i kinda like MC's though, it reminds me of Baltheir from FFXII

Actually their are 3 check the other forum.
Bozo of Bones have the Bucaneer.
Not much entries yet.
And they say making a mad guy CC is a bad Idea sorry Darkhell^^.
But it ain't stopping the CCC^^.
Ain't Corsairs/Pirates are Thieves?
And only Judges can Judge^^(joke)!

It's supposed to be a flexible melee/ranged fighter. The idea is that it can play both, allowing a more adaptable style of playing. While a ranger would probably run away if an enemy approached them, a Corsair would stand and fight in melee combat. Or better still, a Corsair would disable their target with their weapon and strike them down with the conditions placed by their weapon.

Looking forward to your avatar, Magna.

If you think of them as Turkish Corsairs of the Barbary Coast variety, I'd see them as Sword Warriors with a Mysticism Dervish secondary.

If they are more like Pirates of the Carribean, I'd see them as Sword Warriors with an Illusion Mesmer secondary.

Maybe they should introduce these dual-profession mobs to Nightfall. Dual-profession mobs for HM everywhere, while they are at it.

^^

Well so a Ranger is good in Suvival when he enemy comes near them while the Musketeer could still fight even enemies are fighting them.
BTW Hawkeye, I suggest of making you're CCs more organzed^^.
It'll be better^^.
think not much people know how old am I, Just a hunch^^.

How is it not organized? It's separated into categories, and the categories are in bold. IN BOLD!!!

I meant you're Skills^^.
Should have been more specifc.

The Corsair
"The dashing heroes of a less civilized age, Corsair's lived for adventure (and the bounties they would often reap). These piratical adventurer's often considered themselves above the law, living with thought of no-one but themselves. More often than not, proclaiming oneself as a Corsair would lead to more trouble than it would be worth."
