New Class: Battlefield Controller

I'm not very creative so I can't think of a name for this type.
This profession have ability to control battlefield defensively and offensively like Cripshot. The only disadvantage this class have is that all their skill does officially no damage, the damage came from their primary attribute which can be very versatile and deadly.
A new type of skill will be introduce, Field Spell, they act like ward except they changed the ground texture by simply just recolor or overlap a new texture. Another type that will introduced is maintaining hexes, unlike the monk ability to maintain enchantment, they maintain hex on enemy and end if they wish to stop maintaining it.

Equipment: Use a Staff or Cane with Focus Item. 70 AR, -10AR vs Physical Damage, +10AR vs Elemental Damave. 30 Energy with 4 Pips

Attribute:

Velocity: Foes take 2 damage for every rank in velocity whenever you cast target BC spell on them.

Bodyweight: Improve your skill on offensive spell on your foes

Wind Resistance: Improve your skill on defensively enchanting your allies

Land Mastery: Improve your field spell

Example Skills:

Shaking Ground [25E | 2S | 30R]: Elite Field Spell. Create a field in your current location. For 3...10 seconds, foes in the area move 25% slower and have 10...50% to knockdown every second. This skill cause exhaustion.

Burden of Wind [10E | 1S | 5R]: Elite Enchantment Spell. For 5...15 seconds all your party member move 33% faster. When this enchantment end, all your party member suffer cripple for 10 seconds.

Magnet Aura [10E | -1E | 3/4S | 30R]: Elite Hex Spell. Target foe teleport to you. When this hex end, target foe teleport back to their original location.

Unstable Ground [15E | 2S | 30R]: Field Spell. Create a field in target foe location. For 5...15 seconds, all foes in the area is knockdown everytime a non-spirit creature die in the area.

Burden Anguish [15E | 1S | 30R]: Hex Spell. For 1...5 seconds, target foe move 33% slower, when this hex end, target foe is cripple for 1..5 seconds.

Ice Ground [25E | 2S | 30R]: Field Spell. Create a field spell in your current location. For 10...20 seconds, all non-moving foes in the area move 33% slower for 5 seconds.

Shared Speed [5E | -1E | 1S | 10R]: Elite Hex Spell. While you maintain this hex spell, you and target foe move 33% slower.

Contain Speed [10E | -1E | 1S | 30R]: Elite Enchantment Spell. While you maintain this enchantment, all party member including you cannot be altered by speed (faster or slower).

Give Speed [5E | -1E | 1S | 10R]: Enchantment Spell. While you maintain this enchantment, target ally move 33% faster and you move 33% slower.

This is basically an elementalist.

Yeah this is really just an ele.

seems very broken, can't see this class fitting into gw.
the maintained hex that shadowsteps a foe is a very broken idea, and doesnt seem to fit with the concept of the class anyway.

at first I thought this was going to be a paragon ripoff, but am pleasantly surprised to see that people have moved on to unnecessarily recreating other current classes

It used to create an escape route. The disadvantage is easily removed if foe already at melee range with you, run for a bit then stop maintaining.

And yes this is an ele but it I could change those name and there, no more ele. This would be the only class that have most power over speed and battlefield.

Oh, this is from the guy who made this thread
ie: he's completely retarded and your better off ignoring him

Battlefield Controller? Sounds like a polite name for the raging Noob wammos you can pug with in Ascalon.

except that now they can echo mending with their 4 pips of regen

Ewwwwww

lol, no thats basically just the gameplay of the ragnarok Online's Sages/Scholars and I'm 100% sure, that its them, from which the OP got the idea for this ...

Imo a passive supportive Caster Class that I'd like to see in similar ways too for GW2, but I'd combine this gameplay together with this CC

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10273680 (navigator)


A Class then, that would bring into the Game new Skill types:

- Flag Skills &
- Field Skills

As geographical masterminds they should be able to know, how to get combat advantages of the fields.

And imo the Concept about the Navigator is good usable, to combine it with the RO's Sage/Scholar Gameplay, without naming them the same

"I'm gonna magnet their monk, all warriors stand in a circle around me!"
Arcane echo it to rince and repeat and you have a guaranteed win in probably any PvP.

Also except for naming and similarity to [windborne speed] its not ele enough to be just like an ele.
