I’d love to see a pure utility/support weapon — something with lots of skill shots.
Weapon: Wand
Skill Tree:
- Wizardry (utility/support)
- Briefly summon a defensive barrier that will block all incoming ranged attacks for X seconds or Y damage.
- Summon a nearby teammate to you
- This would be a skill shot to save a teammate who is being mobbed by an enemy group
- An upgrade could allow the ability to summon teammates out of hard stuns like gravity well
- An alternative version would simply allow you to move a teammate from any points A to B. This could be used to chase enemies down, flank teams in wars, etc.
- Cast a spell on a teammate to greatly increase their attack speed for a brief time
- Cast a spell on a teammate to make them nearly invisible and drop aggro
- Cast a spell on a teammate to give them grit
- Sorcery (offensive)
- Briefly summon a magical circle that enemies and friendlies can’t pass through
- Illuminate an enemy player (could be used to mark high value enemies in wars)
- Not sure what else. This tree could balance some of the Wizardry skills above (e.g. teleport an enemy instead of teammate)
Attributes:
- Either Int or Focus based
- I actually don’t know how the attributes would affect the performance of the utility skills — maybe increase the strength of the spells (range, duration)?
