Class Idea by: LiketoMoveIt, ReXilent, and Boom453

Class Name: Praefectus (Latin for some high rank words, such as commander and superintendant)

Color Change-able: No

Primary Role: Support

Sub-Role : Hexer

Weapon Name: Gladius (A Roman Short Sword.)

Description: Praefectus, a follower, a supporter, a leader. They stand tall, blessed by the Roman gods of Olympus. They support and raise their team's morale by planting Roman flags, each blessed by a different god. Even though Praefectus is a very strong supporter, having no allies or being out-sped leads to Praefectus's downfal, as they have no actual engage or gap-closers.

[Passive] - Minerva's Guidance

Minerva, the God of Wisdom, guides Praefectus in battle, granting a regeneration of 2 mana every 0.5 seconds. If Praefectus reaches half health or lower, then their health regenerates by 2 health per second until they are at full health. - [E] - Flag Switch

Praefectus switches their current flag. Each flag is blessed by a different god, and always go in order of Red, Green, and Blue.

Flag of Mars - The Red Flag is blessed by Mars, the God of War. This flag increases you and your allies' attack by 0.2, and decreases the enemy's attack by 0.1. This flag's range is moderate.

Flag of Asclepius - The Green Flag is blessed by Ascelpius, the God of Healing. This flag heals you and your allies every 1.5 seconds, and decreases the enemy's defense by 0.15. This flag's range is small.

Flag of Mercury - The Blue Flag is blessed by Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods. He increases you and your allies' Movement by 0.2, and decreases the enemy's movement by 0.1. This flag's range is large.

[Red Flag Range - 25 Studs Radius]

[Green Flag Range - 15 Studs Radius, chooses a number from 4-6 every 1.5 seconds to heal allies, defense reduction for enemy stays the same until they leave the zone]

[Blue Flag Range - 40 Studs Radius]

[Cooldown - None]

[Mana Cost - 0]

[Z] Plant

Praefectus kneels down and plants the current flag they have selected in hand infront of them. This has a 1 second delay before planting the flag down, and flags last for a moderate amount of time. Depending on the flag that was selected before planting, it will have different effects. Praefectus may only have one flag active at a time, and planting another flag will replace the previous one, with the exception of Jupiter's flag.

[Cooldown - 10 Seconds]

[Mana Cost - 20]

[Flags last for 25 seconds]

[Lasts for 10 Seconds]

[C] Vulcan's Hand

Vulcan, the God of Craftsmithing, helps Praefectus to increase the planted flag's effects by 1.5x. However during this time, another flag cannot be planted, and does not affect Jupiter's flag at all.

[Cooldown - 15 Seconds]

[Mana Cost - 34]

[Affects only the flags planted by [Z] Plant]

[V] Jupiter's Wrath

Praefectus takes out Jupiter's flag, kneels down, and then holds the flag up. Jupiter, the God of Thunder, strikes the flag, dealing huge knockback in an AOE around Praefectus. Praefectus then plants Jupiter's flag on the ground, and lightning then strikes the flag each second for 4 seconds, dealing small knockback while adding 25 stun in an AOE.

Weaknesses and Advantages

Praefectus, like every other class, has their own pros and cons. Praefectus with their flags is able to hold down a point easily, as they can buff themselves and their allies, while debuffing enemies who infiltrate their territory. Praefectus is also able to stun a whole group of enemies with the right timing, and this may turn the tides of a battle. Praefectus also has a few weaknesses however. Even though they have lots of mana regeneration, their abilities have a fairly high cooldown, and their solo fight potential is limited. It is possible to win a 1v1 while playing Praefectus however, depending on how well the player fights their battle. Praefectus also has no real engagements or gap-closers, and their weapon's range is slightly shorter than most melee ranged weapons, forcing them to go up close and personal.
