We've already got Braver, and Bouncer. So it stands to reason we should be due in for a ranged and tech hybrid class soon. I have an idea in mind called Phomancer.
I got this idea from thinking about the 10* Aura piece Nega Photon. If they can harness the photon to make an armour, why not use it to power a class? Imagine your main hand weapon being a pistol of some kind. Like a light handed revolver, to a powerful magnum. This class, when killing enemies would absorb their negative photons, and store it all into the weapons gear. This gear, for the gun would come with 12 levels. Think of it as one level for each bullet. Basically giving you a full clip of negative photon bullets to charge. This would make the pistol shoot with the intensity of a mini cannon, and can be fired semi rapidly, as all handguns can be.
I am imagining that if someone wanted to be on the tech side of the tree, they could some how use this photon to power up their spells by a certain amount, and I mean all spells. not just one variety like we are used to seeing. Maybe the boost to these would be smaller as spells are typically more powerful, and powering them all up by say 40% would be a bit over kill.
On the other hand I think it would be cool if someone who chose to go full ranged had an option for a little bit of self buffing. So they could have a skill that instead of having them use the photon like shots, they absorb it into their bodies for a brief window of defence boost, and healing. I think this would add a whole bunch of depth to the class as it would make you have to decide when you want to attack or support yourself.
And of course PAs would be effected by this photon too, but would probably take more than one level to use with a PA. Say 3 levels of charge instead of just one.
My friend ran by me the idea of absorbing photon with damage, because if it was based on kills then it would pose an issue for bosses, and I agree it's a great idea.
So what do you think guys? Cool or no? Personally I'd love the hell out of it.
