Suggestion Reintroduction of Beast Master... kinda?

SO, I joined this server during the middle of the last map, so I have absolutely no clue as to what kind of a class Beast Master was. But, since the name sort of fits the class I'm suggesting here, I'll use it anyway.

Beast Master
Skills:
Rabbit's Foot: Gives the user higher jumps for 6 seconds (like becon jump boost)
Grizzley's Swipe: Swipes in front of the user, dealing damage to the targets within 2 blocks in front of the user, and 3 blocks wide. Deals damage and bleeds the enemies hit for 4 seconds, dealing bleed damage every 2 seconds. Reduces healing effects for 4 seconds as well.
Leopard's Pounce: Pounces onto a target within 6 blocks, interrupting casting, and slowing the target and enemies around for 3 seconds.
Eagle's Eye: Tells the user players that are within 100 blocks of the user (50 percent chance of succeeding, 50 percent chance of failing, with 1 minute cool down)
Tortoise's Shell: Grants a shield that protects against any slows, stuns, etc (CC) for 5 seconds, and heals 35 health.
Cobra's Fang: Lashes out to a target within 5 blocks, pulling in the target 2 blocks. Deals small damage, and applies poison for 3 seconds.
Crocodile's Scales: Grants rapid regeneration for 8 seconds
Antelope's Dash: Grants a speed boost for 10 seconds, and gives user 75 percent chance to dodge all attacks for the first 2 seconds
Wild Beat Down: Beats and pushes around the target in random directions for 3 seconds, hitting the target 2 times per second (deals little bit of damage per hit) EDIT: Remove stun


Play Style:
As you can tell, this class would revolve around focusing key targets and chasing down that target all throughout. Skills like Antelope's Dash, and Rabbit's Foot would allow for a chase, and skills like leopard's pounce and cobra's fang would allow for catching up short distances and preventing further escape. Other skills like Tortoise's Shell, and the secondary effect of Antelope's dash, would prevent other enemies from hindering a Beast Master from focusing down a specific target. This class would be a bit more on the tanky side.

Since caster recently got shaman as a 5th class, other paths should get a 5th class as well, so I was thinking that a class like this one could possibly fit into warrior or rogue. Thank you for reading through, I'd like to hear the community's opinion on this.

EDIT: Was wondering if someone can tell me what beast master was like (skills wise) and why it got removed?

Honestly it would be cool to have BM back in a less OP manner, i always hear stories about how fun a class it is.

The thing I HEAR about beast master is that everyone loved it cuz they could summon like 500 wolves and win a teamfight.... from what I heard this isn't really beast master

@Isaaclite you've really been suggesting new heroes stuff lately XD I love to read them

Wow, sounds pretty op XD

And yeah, I just post whatever comes to mind when I'm bored. I really don't care whether or not my ideas will be taken into consideration (for implementation), but I just think it's fun coming up with heroes stuff :D

This is a good idea, but beastmaster isn't the right class name. This is more like a shapeshifter class.

I suggested a shapeshifter class once. it got beat down because people thought it was too close to a race than a class. some of the skills seem a little overpowered in this. a 3 second stun that deals damage over time seems insane.

EDIT: if u want the link to my OP, it's http://herocraftonline.com/main/threads/lycanthrope-shapeshifter-new-class-idea.44911/

Yeah, (as people have stated), a lycanthrope class would be pretty cool, but it can be identified as a specific creature, and therefore, a race. However, not sure if my suggestion would be considered a race or not, since it can't really be specified as a specific "thing", other than the fact that it has the ability for multiple different kinds of "transformations".

Also, yeah, a 3 second stun skill would be pretty op XD. I edited my suggestion so it wouldn't have any stun

I really like the skill eagle's eye! I think that this could be a cool class/skills to add.
