New SUPPORT character idea!

[Heretical_Cactus]

Already much better, but I’ll be annoying again

Here look at these 2:

Veteran Class Concept - Veteran Medic

So, the game is pretty starved of class variety, it especially lacks any kind of dedicated support class, so I have come up with a new support focused class for Veteran, The Veteran Medic. Below is a list of it’s abilities, feats, passives etc. [Veteran_Medic_Concept_V3] As you can see, this class is mostly about supporting, reviving and buffing allies, however it is possible to build it in a more offensive way via some of the more offence orientated feats. hybrid builds would also be pretty…

Zealot Class possibilities: What do you hope for?

As of now we have the 4 Archetypes that each will have multiple classes in the future (If there had been no or less problems on the game release state, 1 per quarter of the year), for one of these there is already a cosmetic associated for it (Crusader) Those are the ones I’m hoping for: Crusader: [Crusader] Focus: Melee, Tank Feel: Ironbreaker, Warrior Priest and Grail Knight

Summary

Weapon restriction: Lose Flamer and Bolter, Gain Power Sword (Though at that point I expect it to have b…

Now the better one is made by RaNdOmKiLs666/Morbious, it’s not balanced but it show a lot of structure to it, talents you can leave out as it’s very difficult to really make 3*6 of them that are balanced, workable, and interesting.

Now also here we have a new archetype (as it would need a new body type, Small)

But for the Classe abilities it would structure like that:

Iconic:

• “Name here”: Class_Name is able to latch on ally, granting allies 30% movement bonus and entering “Latched” mode
• “Latched”: Enter 3rd person View, gaining third person view and soul siphoning up to 4 enemies dealing moderate damage and damage over time (DoT).

Blitz (Or ability ? Not sure what it’s supposed to be): “Soul Syphon”

• This ability when latched to an Ally would heal them for 25 % of their maximum health and replenish 35% toughness; but when not latched onto an ally will instead apply these affects to itself.

Blitz: Single Target Beam dealing DoT and restoring toughness via Soul Syphon

As for the new weapons, there are going to always only 2 class of weapons, Melee and Ranged, all weapon need to fall in that type of category.

Taking your examples:

@swiftyowe

first would be a healing one thats primary fire would be small thorns (kinda like sister of Thorns staff in vermintide) that deal moderate damage and can be charged up for more damage.

So Ranged slot, either working like the Psyker, though seeing how the game is balanced, I don’t think we’d see a weapon with proper healing capability. Other wise, either a Staff, or a Relic

@swiftyowe

Next lantern would be a AoE high stagger weapon. It’s primary fire would be a small blast that expels small flames on impact that deals small amounts of damage, but it’s secondary fire would be a charged up blast that deals high stagger capable of stunning normal sized specials (Ogryn enemy’s cannot be stunned by this.)

So Ranged slot, would work quite well like the Flamer staff, short range Psyker staff.

@swiftyowe

The last lantern would be a damage buff one thats primary fire would be a flame that shoots until you run out of fuel (bar shown above your health) which will deal small amounts of damage until which you must wait until it charges back. It’s alternate fire would be a charged up chained attack that would shoot a projectile that targets allies and grant them 10% power for 3 seconds (this cannot stack.)

Ranged Slot, could work on the primary, but the secondary would either be very strong or very weak.

@swiftyowe

Now to the Totems, there will be a healing one that shoots small orbs like that psyker but dealing less damage and it’s alternate fire would be a instant heal that does 15% healing to an targeted ally and restores 15% toughness but has 1 ammo and recharges over time.

The next one would be a shadow totem that shoots small needles dealing moderate DoT. It’s secondary attack would be a shadow smoke bomb that has a large area of affect and deals DoT as well.

The last totem would be a movement speed totem. This totem would shoot a fast shot of shadow energy as a primary fire and it’s secondary would be a charged up speed boost to all nearby allies in an area around the player. Up to a 10 - 20% speed boost can be achieved through charging it up.

Those sound more like abilities than weapon, maybe having the ability being about the totems, and talents being able to switch them up.

@swiftyowe

It’s melee weapons would be small knives and needles that would be fast but wouldn’t deal the most damage due to this character being more support and it being a more ranged character.

Weapon if possible should try to have a shared amount/overlap.

Tbh, this class isn’t really something I’d enjoy playing, or playing with. The Latch part doesn’t really sound like something that would be very useful, and the healing capability doesn’t go with the way the game is balanced

As for the weapon, certain of them could fall on the Psyker, or on a Sister archetype/classe with Act of Faith, while other doesn’t really work as weapon. But could as either Ability, Blitz or useable (Like the Medkit and the Ammo boxes)
