Samurai (Human Male Only class)

I don't have much in terms of lore but then again, i think it'd be a better idea to make lore based on actual history anyway.
also i chose for male only because: 1. there aren't any male only classes (which i think is unfair).
2. there where never any female samurai anyway.

So for the skills i was thinking of a kind of wind theme seeing as how most samurai in games and stories are usually associated with the wind due to their speed.

a couple combat skills could be: Combo attack: The Hero swings three times. on the last swing he re-seaths his sword empowering the next non-combo skill.

Distortion: The Hero swings his blade through the air with such force,
it causes the wind current to distort and follow the direction of the blades swing.

Blade Storm: The Hero unleashes a devastating fury of attacks. (can be initially charged-up)

and then a couple utility skills could be: Wind walk: temporarily boosts movement speed and decreases aggro.

Wind Step: The Hero moves at such speed, it seems like he's almost teleporting leaving behind only a temporary current of
wind which makes enemies slightly slower

well that's all i've got.
i reeeeeaaaaly people will consider this as a good or at least interesting idea, especially the Devs.
because even if it's not a samurai i would really like to see some male exclusive classes added to the game.

    So....samurai is basically a male carbon copy of the ninja.

    How about.............No.

    you do realize that the slayer class isn't even remotely similar to what a samurai class would be right?
    if anything i think the Breserker is basically just a copy-past of the slayer.... but with an axe

    no it's not. a ninja is like an assassin: they'll use any means necessary in order to kill their target.

    a samurai will only do things out of honor their for never baking away from a fight or using sneaky tactics to best the opponant.

    completely different see.

    It's funny you say Samurai. I was thinking along the lines of Ronin Warrior. They are essentially like a Samuria but are more geared with magical abilities. Ofcourse they can't use their magical abilities until they call upon the power that buffs them like crazy. Watch the anime Ronin Warrior and you'll see what I mean. It's an Old Anime, but a character like that would be perfect for Tera I think. And yes, it is indeed a male class only type of thing.

    These Ronin Warrios infact get their powers from the elements. The strongest one being of Wildfire similar to that of hellfire.

    I think it's time for the bad guy strikes back, demolishes lumbertown like they did IoD. Samael's revenge so to speak. You remember that Samael that stood next to Seir in velika. Or maybe a return of the dream storm but making it a permanent spawn quest in Lumbertown.

    My imagination is going crazy lol
  • I love the idea of a Samurai but having skills that make you go fast and move like wind is a lot like the ninja. I think have it that they are like the warrior with a stance change of either dps or tank would sweet. And of course they need to be male only but not just humans you need to make sure those popos get to be awesome too!

    as for abilities i was just presenting an idea.
    But i agree, the popos need some love! :D
  • If EME get in charge of Tera, if BHS wants to do it, I am not so fond of it, BHS keeps failing.
  • SaphirKanzakiSaphirKanzaki ✭✭✭✭
    First of all, BHS is a developer team. They do programming and develop new stuff. EME is a publisher, They give feedback, roll out events, get the money coming in and organize everything else. Neither of them can do the others' job.

    At this point, I have to spoil your plans. The female Samurai is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onna-bugeisha .
    BHS so far never did a real class. Every class we have has oversized, caricatured weapons and a special "feeling" to it. As said, Wind is already taken by Warrior and Ninja, while Ninja has a "feign" touch and Warrior a "stab" touch.

    I have no idea why people are desperately asking for a male class. In the end, we will get the same as Blizzard did with Overwatch: robots. Nevertheless, female characters like Tracer, D.Va still are the most popular faces.
  • JBGamingJBGaming ✭✭✭
    OK have no idea why you said all that Saphiri, but we aren't talking about female Samurais. We are talking about a new class in general, in fact I like the idea of it being a popo. considering their focus is towards nature.

    So now I rebuttal. Why are so many people against the idea of their being male specific classes? hmm?

    This isn't a sexist comment or reasoning. It's about being fair.

    I myself can play any class, any race, and any [filtered], I care not.

    The point is diversity. Obviously we are getting away from the old way of characters and are starting to spawn into modern type of classes where other class types will be considered ancient. The old classes will get forgotten. Yet here we are discussing an idea.

    An amazing idea to help bring back something along the lines of an anime type of character that is befitting to this game.

    I'm an old dungeons and dragons Master, I could come up with a ton, a slew of idea both male, female and for both.

    People are biased only due to ignorance.

    A true gamer need I say, is unbiased when it comes to class, race, or [filtered]. But rather open minded and opinionated to each played.

    For as much attention that Elins are getting, Yes I think the popo's need some love an attention since after all. Popo's were made by Elin's. Or atleast that is what I have heard.

    Druids, Ronin Warriors, Necromancers, Warlocks, Perhaps the introduction of another race all together.

    That is something I can do.

    Nah, let's not speak against someones idea as if they are ignorant to a cause, as if they are ignorant all together. I applaud the idea, the concept and will, the imagination of someone that has the courage to speak out and show their opinions.

    The reason why people are asking for more male classes is because of the last 4 classes now that are restricted only to females. Reaper, Gunner, Brawler and now Ninja.

    Of which I have played all of them.

    Fact is players ask why? Can a male not be such? They begin to wonder if there is a sexiest reasoning behind it. I assure you there isn't. It's all about money.

    Many games are brought about through stories.

    So here is an idea, how about going to the roleplay and lore section and start writing a story in efforts to create a new class and or race.

    Have fun with that.
  • Male class? are you drunk? They NEVER think about making anything for males. Even if your samurai class is a good idea...
  • NopiNopi ✭✭✭✭✭
    If no samurai, give Slayers a nodachi skin at least. Not really a samurai but at least the weapon would look more reasonable. :)
  • TianaTiana ✭✭✭
    While I would love seeing new male classes, Samurai would be hard..
    Slayer has back stab. It has rushed attacks, and even an evasive rush.
    It feels too much if combine a Slayer and Ninja together and hope for another DPS. While I would love another DPS class, this wouldn't be it. We need more magic based DPS (or atleast DPS/Debuff class).

    Now, if you take the ideas as some of the above, you could work with a Popori natured burst DPS class. Almost like a partial summoner, BUT the difference would be this-
    Such as Finn in Adventure Time, he has a sword made out of grass. He controls it.

    So, think of how we have Mystics. They can summon Thralls. What about Natural Summons?

    Imagine a Popori with two large Leaves (fans, if you would like to consider that). Wind and Nature based attacks. Knock ups, poison, and the Leaves would have three options to change into 3 types of weapons.

    One would give a debuff and serve as a minor heal for them. (Nature's Gift)
    One would give a buff to power and serve as the burst DPS portion. (Nature's Vexation)
    One would give a minor AOE and works as a wind based DPS meant for knock ups and gathering. (Nature's Recoil)

    You'd have to work it in the same style as a Mystic and their Thralls, and yet have smaller attacks meant for burst damage.

    i like this idea for 2 reasons

    1. i do think that the male counterpart to the Elins should have at least one exclusive class seeing as how Elins have 2
    2. i just like the idea of having a druid in any game.
