[Total Conversion] Under Siege

[leoalex50]

Hey ColdFusion.

And we're back, everybody!
Updated the first post with more progress information. Only resource I still need for Alphonse is two skins: one with him holding his revolvers, and one with him holding his shotgun. There are a few weapon animations that would also be appreciated:
> Throwing the Lasso (probably the closest to "necessary" on this list; I have viable (albeit a bit cheesy) workarounds for the others)
> Reload animations for the pistols and shotgun (I can send you the base sprites if you PM me)
> Animations for Improbable Aim (These aren't really necessary, since using the normal idles as placeholders actually looks OK, though might look nice if they were added.)

I've changed this guy up a little bit, so all his stuff feels more in place.
now that I looked at it I hardly changed anything
Also added updates, fixing some things I may have forgotten to add.

Guardian Unit
(Melee, Physical, Tank, Support, Disabler)

Appearance

Weapon Appearance

Passive - Restore

Basic attacks restore MP.

Weapon - Energy Axe

Guardian Unit swings his axe. Medium damage, slow attack.

Skill 1 - Force
Guardian Unit deals a blow that stuns his target for 0.5 seconds and deals extra damage.

Skill 2 - Mend
Guardian Unit heals his teammates, MMSP style. Ultimate Skill Mod "Amplifier" adds a new effect to Mend. When Primary Fire is hit while healing, it removes the patient's debuffs.

Skill Mods

> Overwhelming Force - Force's Stun is increased to 1/1.5/2 seconds.

> Full Repair - Mend heals 10/20/30% more HP.

> Drain - Basic attacks with the Axe heal Guardian Unit for 20/30/40% of the damage dealt.

> Amplifier -<Ultimate Mod>- Guardian Unit is given upgrades to his technology. Mend now has the ability to remove Debuffs. (See more info on Mend's description.)

Rank 1: Mend grants 15% bonus movespeed for 2 seconds.

Rank 2: Daze makes the target Vulnerable.

Rank 3: Armor and MR bonuses are increased by 35%.

I'm thinking about getting rid of Drain, especially since you aren't building damage.

If the Energy Axe and Normal Axe do the same thing, they can count as the same attack. In which case you can add another skill if you want.

I don't get how you maneuver between all those skills with one weapon. That's my problem with it.

[xColdxFusionx]

The same way you'd maneuver through multiple weapons with one skill:
They're actually just multiple weapons with the same mainfire

That's exactly what I'm doing. However, I also want to include a visual change, which includes the activated power. I don't want the axe to always appear activated/unactivated, and only appear activated when healing. I think that looks pretty bad.

[xColdxFusionx]

You can change the visual effect on the axe in its idle/firing poses if you want
I'm just saying that if it's functionally the same in both forms, it might as well just be considered the same weapon.

[Ceridran]

Might as well have the energy always activated. I'l go edit the things.

Also, the weapon should appear to be glowing (Like in GVH, the Hunter's hand when using magic.) when using Force.

Just going to let everyone know ahead of time...

Can I try submitting a class?

Claw Droid
(Mixed, Hybrid, Duelist, Pusher)
(Am I right with the roles?)

Appearance
A grey robot with a sphere head and humanoid figure. Its armour parts are coloured red and green. It wears a helmet resembling a stylish hat. Its body armour is light and it has foot armour that resembles sandals. It has no fingers but has three daggers on each hand serving as claws and the arms are a bit thick. It also has glowing purple eyes and no mouth.

Passive – Last-Resort Agility
At very low health, Claw Droid increases speed and jump. It also becomes so fast it leaves behind fading illusions from high speed(Use Haste for this).

Weapon 1 – Droid Cutter
Claw Droid slashes enemies with the daggers on its hands. It may not seem like much at first, but there are power-ups to make it unique.

Skill – Claw Sling
Claw Droid fires the daggers on its hands. They deal low damage because they hit the enemy tip-first while the blades are sharper. Claw Droid does not need to retrieve the daggers because the claws regrow.

Skill – Bomb Throw
Claw Droid seems to be carrying bombs with it. These bombs will arc upwards, but the range is short without help of aiming. They do, however, deal medium AOE damage.

Skill – Netting Device
Claw Droid places down a special item on the ground. After a second, the item turns to a wall consisting of 2 poles and a wire net in the middle. It blocks enemies but their projectiles can damage the net. When damaged enough, the net breaks and the wall is destroyed. Besides that, only 4 nets can be erect at a time(for each player that is). Enemies will not try to destroy the net on purpose.

Skill Mods
Droid Shredder – Claw Droid learns to use the Droid Cutter in rapid succession. It also increases power.
Extra Claws – Claw Droid upgrades the Claw Sling, allowing it to shoot 8 claws at once in compass directions instead of 3.
Taser Web – The Netting Device gets an upgrade. Enemies that go near the net will get stuck and get damage. It also Stuns them.
Bladed Rebel <Ultimate Mod> – Besides those three upgrades, Claw Droid can be given three more stronger upgrades in the following order.
> Rank 1 – Tough Armour – Claw Droid gets a defence upgrade to endure more hits than ever could.
> Rank 2 – Loot Spills – The Droid Cutter can now cut open enemy possessions, producing loot for every damage it deals. The loot from killing enemies remains normal.
> Rank 3 – Intimidation – Apparently, having daggers for claws isn't scary enough, but with this upgrade, Claw Droid can scare its enemies, inducing Disorientation, Slowness and Weight to enemies that stand close and look at it.

+ I like the "spawns a destructible wall" idea. Could certainly make for some interesting ganking situations.
* The pinch mode idea seems a bit generic and kind of almost overdone at this point. Then again, I guess there isn't really that many interesting passive ideas out there, so...
- ...Claw Droid sounds a bit similar to Predator Unit, don't you think?
- Mixed, Hybrid, Duelist, Pusher. I'm sorry, what?! What exactly are supposed to be his pros and cons?
- All the attacks feel a bit mis-matched; it just feels like you started throwing stuff together...
- ...How would the tiers on Extra Claws work? Everything else I can mess with easily, but I really can't think of a good way to make Extra Claws into 3 tiers.

Overall Vedict: Needs some serious work; it's way too broad and feels way too much like he's supposed to be a one-man army.

[Ceridran]

Moo.

I've edited this since I first posted and it's different but you knew that.

Guardian Unit
(Melee, Physical, Tank, Support, Disabler)

Guardian Unit swings his axe. Medium damage, slow attack.

Skill 1 - Force
Guardian Unit deals a blow that stuns his target for 0.5 seconds and deals extra damage.

Rank 3: Armor and MR is increased. (You can set the amount because I am terrible with listing amounts sometimes.)

[xColdxFusionx]

asdf
The entire purpose behind me saying that Energy Axe only counts as one autoattack was because it gives you another slot for skills
Please, take advantage of it

[Ceridran]

Oh wait. 3 skills.

I'l get to that, if I can.

EDIT: Aaand it's done because yeah.
