An Idea for a new class

The Machinist, Using light armor and relying on consistent damage, the Machinist is a Male-only class available to Castanic, Humans, and High elves, making use of duel guns Handguns, while utilizing certain similar skills to the gunner (Time bombs, Grendaes), the machanist offers more damage and mobility, at the cost of having weaker armor and less range
If people like this idea i will make a more in depth post about my idea

    Hmmm, sounds interesting, but I am afraid if we are going for dual wielding guns, I am forever going to fight for the Popori Bandista/Dualist. Two pistols and crossed bandoliers. We could release sombreros and ponchos. Mustaches wearable by both men and women. I'm picturing a cross between warrior and gunner. for gameplay.

    I am simply so taken by the image. I desperately want to see these in game. The bandista is as clear a type as viking or pirate--would probably be popular as costumes if nothing else.

    But I think yours might be more popular race types, so therefore more likely to maybe happen someday.
  • we need popori class now, all love poporis <3<3<3

    So for the Machinist, are you picturing like double Uzi? Handguns? What flavor would we have here. Are we taking Rambo or special agent?

    Its just an Idea, but perhaps it would work good on popori, the only race i really cant see it working on is baraka (or however its spelt) but tera def needs a male only class, with all the female only classes being in (pehaps make it gender neutral, but still, a little bored of all these female only classes)

    Dual hand guns...I'm liking this secret agent idea, like Agents of SHEILD. Or are you thinking gun-kata here, like in Equilibrium. In which case this would be more like a melee DPS with leather or cloth.

    Or are you going more mid-range, a la Tomb raider, run and gun kind of thing...

    I'm keen to hear what you had in mind. Go for it!

    The tomb raider thing is what i was thinking, a mid range attacker, having alot of utility/mobility rather then tons of damage abilites due focusing on attacking with combo attack, their basic dash could increase attack speed by 50% for 4 seconds, another ability could cause them the spray a barrage of attacks in front of them, (think like lucians ult in league...if you play it that is), have a stun grenade for basic CC, possibly make them support focused with other gadgets, while still being able to pump out lots of damage (not a replacement for a mystic or priest?, but enough support that they can help out the group, and keep people alive in clutch situations)

    cute elin, she use her cuteness to charm opponants B)
  • would not mind a new healing class. make melee healing class similar to monks or the Soul Fighters in BnS.

    I wish people would give some thought about how the world works

    At the very least, a class that isnt gender locked to FM, since literally every new class is just that

    New class should wield a key blade.

    Okay, i didn’t express it in detail. New classes are made female (not genderlocked) because of monetarian reasons. Perhaps the whole dev team, the management and every single last BHS/EME employees want male classes next - if margin/turnover statistics say that females make the most impact, we still will have female classes. I often say in forums that people should do “male costumes buying events “ but I yet have to see them.

    I’m glad we have a male brawler as it was originally planned with Rhodos.
  • Better first unlock for males the ones we have.
  • ElinLoveElinLove ✭✭✭✭✭
    Male only? Ain't happening.
    Male AND female? That I can see. Likely with halfassed copy & paste generic animations. My bet is that it would come to Castanics 1st or they could... well... just do the same copy & paste to all races but...

    I frankly like when new classes are added but I don't think it's having the same impact as it did before like Reaper and Gunner, dunno if new classes are coming anytime soon.

    Remember to make it OP/Broken at launch, as usual.

    If is not OP/Broken then people won't bother to make one.

    That has been the issue in all games on-line and the reason all games make OP/Broken at launch their new class/race/champion.

    TERA problem would be that they keep that OP/Broken aspect for too long.

    ie. Valkyries Launch were almost 10 months ago and they are still the best dps class to play.

    10 months is a lot of time, a class should not be that favored for more than 1 or 2 months.
