[BilltheCynic]

This looks like an interesting class, maybe a tad overpowered, but I like where this is going

 

[Kimsgrim]

Some of the skills are over powered, Like windwalk. Superjump is being removed, so why try to implement something similar to it.

I would love something like windjump, but the Anticheat would go balistic over it XD

 

[devotedworker]

Heck they cant even have custom items that raise the speed and they will have issues with the new minecarts because they allow players to go over the speed allowed by the anticheat

Would Wind Walk be more acceptable if it were nerfed (say, lasts for 5 seconds instead of 10) or is vertical mobility in general considered over powered?

 

[Ultanian]

Interesting... I don't really like the skills but I do like how it uses snowballs as a weapon.

 

[huntmoak]

I like the idea but it just seems like an odd class, it doesn't really do anything well except run, maybe.

The original intention was for it to be a dedicated kiting class.

Snowball spam be OP son.

No class gets flying... or WindWalk...
If I had to sum up my reaction to this class, it would be my reaction to Lightfoot, the passive skill.

Like LightFoot, this class has excellent theorycrafting.
However: It is difficult to code/balance most of the aspects of the class (ex: being able to walk up one block ledges, or the rate that Snowballs can be thrown), as well as get them to work within our Anti-Cheat mods. Also, the playstyle of SUPER MOBILE is less fun and the server has most recently been heading away from classes that have too much mobility.
Good ideas, and some of the skills (Hustle) could be good additions as a skill to a separate class, but LightFoot as a class would not mesh with other playstyles.

Keep suggesting stuff, this post had great amounts of detail and thought put into it. If you want to have access to things like Intended Class Roles and big-picture Balancing-direction ideas from Upper Staff (ie, what I said about SUPER MOBILE classes being unlikely to be implemented), apply for Balance Team. Disclaimer: Balance Team does not ever implement NEW stuff.
You can put me as a referral (because you took the time to create a Base Attribute set for your class suggestion!) if you like.

Why not remove anticheat and keep the thing that notifies mods/admins if someone is doing something that would seem illegal and they can check what they do. That might mean more mods would be needed.

 

[greatman321]

Not sure but I think the AntiCheat system can be temporary disabled for a certain person with it's API (idk which one is on Herocraft tho)

cuz you would do something.....

Liking the class tbh seems a little op but I meh could be nerfed, Freedom however cant break piggify because piggify disables/silences

 

[mikehk]

ya, the way I see it is no-cheat will despise this class like no other... also, I agree with snowball spam is OP, and the kite potential is too much...

the way I first saw this class was a child having a snowball fight with other kids in a populated neighborhood during winter.
