New Class: Javelin Thrower

[benny95346]

Ok, I am new to this forum and I barely have any idea what to do. I am 200% sure that this idea was already taken, but I couldn't find it. Once again, I am new so who knows where this idea's hiding.

I was thinking of a character that throws javelins, and has a similar attack animation to the priest's attack. The javelins go up in an arc, so are inaccurate for quick enemies. They have a medium attack, just a bit quicker than some of the magician's weapons. The special thing about this class is that its javelins stick into the ground or walls and act as a barrier that can be used as a step or some other things.

Here are the weapons I have so far... they DEFINITELY need adjustment.

Name: Graphite Javelin Lvl: 1 AT:7-8 AGI: 45-50 Range: 65 Type: Physical MP:--- Bonus AT:---

Name: Ice Javelin Lvl: 1 AT: 11-19 AGI: 55-65 Range: 80 Type: Ice MP: 20 Bonus AT: Slow 10%

That is all I have so far. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to make it better.

It's kinda funny, cause we've had this idea and it was pretty popular. It could use a reboot.

The barrier idea is an interesting concept, but I'm not sure how it could be programmed.

There is a similar class idea I came up with, called the "Lancer", which has a melee normal attack, and a ranged special attack.

(I could say that the Lancer kind of evolved from the "Dragoon" idea I came up with to become more SR-like, back when we still had the old forum)

That is a pretty neat idea, but its too similar to the Sniper or Gunner...
