Neophyte Prestige Class: Bard

[Quazzie]

This idea has been uh, wandering in my mind for a bit. It all started when I noticed that the neophyte buffs were to do with music.

Description: Unlike Neophytes, Bards aren't close range, nor are they attackers. Their main goal is to support those in need of help in drastic times of battle. Through song and dance they are able to raise the spirits of others and help them achieve their highest potential.

Overview: With defense just a little bit lower than an acolyte, the bard can still protect his/her party. Through aoe buffs the bard is able to raise HP, MP, Dodge, Skill Crit, Movement Speed, Hit Rate, and Attack.

Maybe a few aoe curses for monsters? (Binder Needed XD)

Weapon: Harp for Vocalist, Bard and Musician. XD Guitar for rockstar.

^(What's a bard that isn't a trickster xD?)

Lv2: 40% Chance. MP Cost: 22
Lv3: 55% Chance. MP Cost: 26


(I'm tired atm so i'll finish it in the morning. For those who think it's overpowered now, think of it like this. Your weapon is practically useless, your defense is worse than an acolytes and you require parties to lv.)


Hmmm... Maybe a namechange is needed. Neo > Vocalist > Performer > Bard > Rockstar ._. (Lol lol there's 5 because of the new classes coming... if we ever get them xD

[monchkinz1518]

lol quaz u know they will only let this happen if xenepic actually has the class o.O but its a good to hav aoe buffs.

[poochyenarulez]

basicly a downgraded version of an aco o.O

[Quazzie]

Not really, An Acolyte is there to heal. Dx If it was a downgraded aco then i would've given it healing skills and defense buffs lol.

[sweet-devil]

Love this. o.o
*Wants to be a Bard. Dx*
But the class needs some more attack skills. o.o

[Quazzie]

._. Added another skill. 1 man Choir. Of course there can't be a 1 man choir so... you kinda fail, which causes the monsters to run because you're hurting there ears or they'll attack you. ._.

[Artanis.]

I guess u want to make the bard or dancer kinda the jack of all trades when it comes to supporting a party. i think this is a nice idea not sure who would choose this class or how it would look like cause its hard to lvl up just like a healer and who would u prefer to be your supporter in party or aoe besides a only a healer. Im guessing u would change from lvl 45 or 66 neo into Bard since i dont see many attack skills yet.

Maybe add aoe skills that makes ur party members immune to curse or poison or reduces chance of stun or bleeding for a certain period of time, which is not that usefull in Tempgorge till Amor but maybe in new maps and pvp lol. Would also be nice if the Bards aoe skills debuffs or decreases something like decrease mp hp curses them or lowers hitrate, attack, critical, skillcritical, removes petskillbuff ;3 , forcefully unmounts xD lol im out of ideas for now.

[sweet-devil]

Or have an HoT. o.o
(Lasts for 6 seconds and heals 100 ? 100/6 means its gonna heal 16.1666666... per second.) o.o

[sweet-devil]

Neo > Vocalist > Bard > Musician o.o

[Trashknight]

[violetremorse]

[comp4ssion]

If there was a Rock Star class ever released, I'd be all over that like a fat kid on an ice cream cake.

[Parcol]

i love this idea but what type of weapon would a bard have

[loki5592]

[Quazzie]

i love this idea but what type of weapon would a bard have

xDD Well, I suppose it would be a harp. O.o A triangle wouldn't work out too well.

Edits:
Renamed 1 man choir to Tone Deaf.
Class changes would go as Neo > Vocalist > Performer > Bard > Rockstar. XDDDDD

[violetremorse]
