I believe that there are a few niches in the current class system. As such, I have created a few classes that I believe will fill them. NOTE: In the forum post I realize I made it appear I was suggesting one class rather than four. I apologize for this error
.
Class: Frostblade
.
.
Why you should add it: I feel that Herocraft could use a class that is specifically designed to hard-counter kiting, hit and runs, and Dragoons. Also, an ice class would be awesome.
.
.
Lore: Frostblades have grown tired of enemies cowardly fleeing or kiting. To remedy this, they have learned to harness the power of ice to freeze their enemies in their tracks. Anyone who crosses them will feel their blood run cold as the Frostbale slowly and methodically closes for the kill.
.
.
Attributes: Strength: 3 Contitution: 5 Endurance: 3 Agility: -6 Intellect: 3 Wisdom: -2 Charisma: 5
.
.
Abilities:
.
Bash: same
.
Frozen Aura: passivley slows all enemies within 4 blocks by 10% (scales with Cha)
.
Ice Rune: same as Runeblade
.
Frosty Fields: you create light blue snow covering a 6-6 area around you. Acts as soul sand to enemies. Lasts 5 seconds.
.
Icebolt: same as wizard
.
Frozen Path: when you walk over water a 3-3 iceblock spawns and moves under you, essentially allowing you to walk across water.
.
Slice: you swing your sword in an arc, dealing 30 damage to all enemies within 4 blocks and within a 45 degree angle in front of you.
.
ColdFeet: your target within 10 blocks is slowed for 3 seconds. The target may not use jump, blink, etc (though he CAN use escape artist)
.
Icicle barrage: you launch icicles all around you, dealing 20 damage to targets within 4 blocks
.
Ice Armor: you get a 25% speed decrease, but you take -35% damage for 8 sec. 90 sec cooldown
.
Deep Freeze: you deal 40 damage, ignoring armor
.
Glacial Arena: you create an 8-8 ice ring around you. The ice is 4 blocks tall. The Ice can be broken, but it take longer than normal ice (about as long as it takes to break a log with a wooden axe) The arena lasts 12 sec. 120 sec cooldown. Costs 1 snow block.
.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
.
.
.
Class: Shadowdancer
.
.
Why you should add it: there are some who wish to play Herocraft while avoiding PVP. This class is supposed to help these people without making them too good at PVP or completely unkillable.
.
.
Lore: Shadowdancers prefer to avoid the hundrums of battle. Instead they melt into the shadows, cautiously avoiding those who would do them harm.
.
.
Attributes: Strength: -5 Constitution: 2 Endurance: 1 Agility: 6 Intelligence: 5 Wisdom: -4 Charisma: 0
.
.
Abilities:
.
Kick: same
.
Incorporeal: passive. 5% of attacks will miss you.
.
Grasping shadows: the target within 5 blocks is slowed for 2 seconds
.
Shadow Strike: you deal 20 damage to a target and knock them back 5 blocks
.
Shadow glide: you glide with the shadows, passively increasing your speed by 10% (before adding agility)
.
Fade: same as ninja
.
Shadowstep: you mark your current block, then 8 seconds later you teleport back to it. .5 second casting time. Costs 1 enderpearl
.
Blink: same as wizard
.
Dimensional grasp: if you are killed within 5 seconds of using this, you keep your hotbar. .5 sec casting time. 90 sec cooldown. Cost
3 slimeballs
.
Enderpearls: you can throw Enderpearls
.
Walking Shadows: you summon 5 shadows to aid you in battle. The shadows each have 5 health and deal 1 damage, but they move at 120% speed. Lasts 5 seconds. (perhaps you could make them short endermen or a skin with all black and red eyes)
.
Unnatrual sense: you are alerted when someone is within 30 blocks of you, though it doesn't tell you who. Does not alert party members or if you are in a city.
.
Ethereal Figure: for 5 sec, 50% of attacks will miss you. Does NOT stack with incorporeal. 180 sec cooldown.
.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
.
.
.
Class: Psychic
.
.
Why you should add it: Herocraft could use a crowd control class. The Psychic could provide just that.
.
.
Lore: Psychics believe that the body is too frail and magic too unpredictable for practical use. They prefer the power of the mind, bending the will of their enemies with a single thought. Psychics quickly assert themselves as the dominant force on the battlefield, leaving their foes as little more than drooling vegetables
.
.
Attributes: Strength: 0 Constitution: -3 Endurance: -5 Agility: -4 Intellect: 6 Wisdom: 4 Charisma: 9
.
.
Abilities:
.
Scan: same
.
Telekinesis: same
.
TK Blast: launches a sphere of pure telekinetic energy at the enemy, dealing 60 damage and knocking the enemy back a few blocks
.
TK Hold: all enemies within 5 blocks are raised 1 block, then encased in a 3-3-4 glass box. The box is unbreakable, preventing the enemies from being damaged or taking damage. Lasts 2 seconds.
.
TK Wall: creates a 7-1-4 wall of unbreakable glass at the target block up to 6 blocks away. Lasts 4 seconds.
.
TK Push: charges for 1 second, then pulses out, dealing 45 damage to enemies within 5 blocks and knocking them back
.
TK Pull: charges for 1 second, then encases you in an unbreakable ice cage for 2 seconds while pulling all enemies towards you during that time, dealing 5 damage a tick. Channeled spell.
.
Forced Slumber: you force you target asleep within 7 blocks, stunning and blinding him for 3 seconds. Scales with Cha. Attacking brings him out of it.
.
Empathy: same as the Necromancer
.
Empathetic Assault: you scramble your oponent's mind, dealing 70 damage and prevent him from using skills 2 seconds. 25% damage increase if the target is asleep
.
Vertigo: All enemies within 5 blocks take 6 damage per tick for 5 seconds, as well as having the nausau effect
.
Mass Forced Slumber: 1.5 second charge, then forces all enemies within 7 blocks asleep for 5 sec. 90 sec Cooldown
.

Class: Necromancer (yes, I am aware that there is already a class called the Necromancer. However, this is more in line with Necromancer, namely summoning undead allies for aid. I would suggest either changing the current Necromancer's name to the Palemaster {otherwise he would be unaffected} or change this one to the Summoner)
.
.
Why You Should Add It: I think it would be interesting to have a class that can summon different allies for diferent circumstances.
.
.
Lore: Rather than fearing Lady Death as most mortals do, Necromancers embrace her. They are fascinated by death, and have learned to call for the dead to do their bidding. It is even rumored that they can summon Herobrine to help them. But those are just rumors, right? Right?
.
.
Attributes: Strength: 0 Constitution: 2 Endurance: -4 Agility: -3 Intellect: 3 Wisdom: 5 Charisma: 7

These are good ideas, but will most likely never be in game, and also some of the skill are impossible to make. the summoner's mobs would be hard to make without them attacking party members and town members. while the psychic is just too powerful. the shadowdancer would let people be a class with no danger and be able to easily escape combat.

In defense of the Shadowdancer, he has very few attack moves and the people who play him are not very likely to want to grind for hero levels. I thought that this would help offset some of his advantages (and if someone DOES somehow grin to level 65, they almost deserve it)
.
For the Summoner, could you make them like wolves or something? I admit to not having much experience with coding, so I'm asking how feasible that would be for say the summoned skeleton (though I'd imagine that the Wither would be difficult to code)
.
For the psychic, could you tone down the abilities to make him less op? I imagined a class that would be bad-decent at 1v1 and even 2v2, but would get more effective in large battles.
.
Finally, I noticed that you didn't mention the Frostblade in your post. What did you think of that, both in terms of coding difficulty and as an interesting class?
