Only role to fill for the master classes

[Leahcim]

My speculation on Master Classes:

Currently, we have 4 categories to place classes:
- Basic (HU, RA, FO)
- Hybrid (FG, WT, GT)
- Specialized (PT, AT, AF)
- Forte (fF, fG, fT)

Above I used the SEGA shorthands, so note that FG i Figunner and fG is Fortegunner



Each of the four categories above have their reasonings to exist.:
- Basic, the precursor to all other classes and meant to give new players a taste of the game.
- Hybrid, these classes give players the ability to play two roles at once while sacrificing performance in each realm.
- Specialized, these classes are unique to their own roles of trap warfare, fast attacks and supportive techniques.
- Forte, the best classes at the jobs of hunter, ranger and force.

With the above known, what would be the point of the master classes? There still lacks any one class that gives the player the ability to use all S ranks of one play style (ie.: No class has access to S rank Double Sabers and Axes, or S rank Rifles and Crossbows.)



This is how I see Master classes:

- Each master class has full S rank access to all weapons of its realm, this gives the player the ability to use all Hunter S ranks together in one class, all ranger S ranks in one class, or all Tech S ranks in one class.

- To balance out the above, the Master class would lack something that the original Expert classes have (ie.: Master classes would have lower Stats, lower PA caps, no PP-regen boost, no speed boost, etc)

- Master Classes would be seen as luxury class, not a performance class. Giving the ability for a player to play anyway they want but at a lower power-output.Perfect for those who say play how you want to play

- Requirements for Master Classes would consist of current expert classes.

So basically, a Protranser with a shuffled weapon selection.

I dunno, still kinda unnecessary, but I do like it a hell of a lot more than three classes that obsolete everything else.

NO! Master classes are suppost to be the Masters of that type. You can't lower their PA caps. they're probably gonna be the only classes with level 50 PA's anyway.

[Leahcim]

Summarization:

FighMaster
- Access to all Melee at S rank, accept Whips
- lvl 30 Melee PA cap
- All around stats averaged between Fortefighter and Figunner
- No Speed Boost, PP Regen, or any other A rank Weapons
- Requirement lvl 15 Fortefighter and Figunner

GunMaster
- Access to all Ranged at S rank, Accept Cards and Bows
- lvl 30 Ranged PA cap
- All around stats averaged between Fortegunner and Guntecher
- No Speed Boost, PP Regen, or any other A rank Weapons
- Requirement lvl 15 ForteGunner and Guntecher


MasterForce
- Access to all Tech at S rank, Including Whips, Cards and Bows
- lvl 30 Tech PA cap (support and attack), lvl 20 ranged and melee PA cap
- All around stats averaged between Fortetecher and Wartecher
- No Speed Boost, PP Regen, or any other A rank Weapons
- Requirement lvl 15 ForteTecher and Wartecher

I thought there would be a reason for it to be called master, as in MASTER of whatever it is so why would it have flaws. And beside you are describing Protranser basically.

master ech dein ubermech classen

it might be three master classes, but they give a huge amount of leeway for those who want to have a custom character besides, the limits of the current classes.

i don't know about u, but i know too many people that don't like being restricted by a certain s-wep/ class restriction.

i wanna use what weapons for what class i wanna use em for.
