I was thinking about how awesome would be a particular new kind of class: a mix between melee and range:
the Lasher:
Main points
- mid range (basically 20 yard auto-attack)
- great CC
- can use shield
- can tank
- can use mid/long range spells (mainly arcane/shadow)
- imbue whip with poisons for more powerful attacks
- can daze enemies (50% slow + forced dismount)
- new kind of item: Whip
Specs
Elegance (first pic art concept)
- Empowers magic attacks, arcane and shadow.
- Attacks are very powerful and mainly direct.
- Improves general range.
Slavemaster (second pic art concept)
- Focuses on attack speed and quick damage.
- Allows dual wield (like Titan's Grip) for very fast atk speed.
- Improves poisons and various dots.
Dominance (third pic art concept)
- Improves CCs
- Allows wearing of mail, can tank.
Equip
Basic Lasher wears cloth, but Slavemaster spec allows to wear leather, and Dominance spec allows mail!
