Seeing all the classes, I think Hunter (which seems to fit best with my playstyle, pseudo-defensive [being just defensive enough to take a few hits, but using defensive moves and items like Bullet Time and the Hau to supplement this]) will be my Tier 2. Would the Gunner be better at this, or is my idea of Hunter correct?

 

Also, so the "base stats" (as in basics of each stat) of each class are as follows:

 

Tier 1:

Fighter:

HP: 2

Attack: 2

Defense: 1

Speed: 1

 

Defender:

HP: 2

Attack: 1

Defense: 2

Speed: 1

 

Healer:

HP: 1

Attack: 1

Defense: 2

Speed: 2

 

Shooter:

HP: 1

Attack: 2

Defense: 1

Speed: 2

 

Tier 2:

 

Warrior:

HP: 4

Attack: 4

Defense: 2

Speed: 2

 

Protector:

HP: 4

Attack: 2

Defense: 4

Speed: 2

 

Medic:

HP: 2

Attack: 2

Defense: 4

Speed: 4

 

Gunner:

HP: 2

Attack: 4

Defense: 2

Speed: 4

 

Lancer:

HP: 4

Attack: 3

Defense: 3

Speed: 2

 

Ranger:

 

HP: 3

Attack: 4

Defense: 2

Speed: 3

 

Guardian:

 

HP: 3

Attack: 2

Defense: 4

Speed: 3

 

Hunter:

 

HP: 2

Attack: 3

Defense: 3

Speed: 4

 

Alchemist (my class idea, listed in Tier 0 strategy):

 

HP: 3

Attack: 3

Defense: 3

Speed: 3

 

Would this (add base stats of two component classes to get the Tier 2 class's stats) be correct?

 

Neya Out.

Hunter is basically what you described; fast, with offensive power, and some decent recovery. Gunner is basically high speed spam attacking: it hits hard, it hits fast, and it hits a lot. So Hunter would fit your style better, it seems.

 

You've described the Tier 1 'base stats' perfectly, Neya, but for Tier 2, the stats are a bit higher. I want to set the game on a quasi-exponential curve, to truly accent the power of the higher Ranks and Tiers. So your idea is correct in principle, just not the actual stats.

 

Is this a good chart? Focuses are closer to their stats.

 

Oh, and BTW, I replied. You now see my basic strategy in action.

 

And why is my weapon an Ice Spear? (My character is Air element.)

 

Neya Out.

Neya, you've officially put nearly as much effort as I have in designing the classes. I did basically the exact same thing you did, setting each class up with an appropriate strategy after that. Tier 3 is simply a further branching out from Tier 2, just as Tier 2 branches out from Tier 1. Well done .

So...how would Tier 3 work relative to tier two?

Still working on it ; it's not a priority since you're not even Tier 2 yet. I'm stuck between just keeping it at 8 choices (like Tier 2), but stronger, or having more, with not much distinction between them. Lemme get back to you in a few months ...

Or if I decide to blow through to Tier Three quickly. =P

 

... Likely won't happen; but you get what I mean.

 

Say; just remembered; will there be any tournaments this time 'round?

Possibly, although considering the power gap from you and Neya to everyone else, it might be difficult: those were for live players only, remember? Or I could just throw in lots of excessively powerful NPCs .

Ah; right. =P

 

That could be an idea; or temporarily set everyone's stats to be the same as ours. =P

 

Though the excessively powerful NPCs would likely work as well. =P
