Subclass: Rusher

Weapon Name: Twister (Birdache Polearm)

Description: Friar is a monastic anchorite who has excellent fighting skills. It is based off a Shaolin, but Friar instead uses a bardiche polearm. Friar is quite athletic, with a long weapon reach, deeming him very useful fighting against other warriors with short range. Friar is very precise and swift in his movements and attacks, making this class somewhat more difficult to play due to the effort that must be put into attempting to actually hit your enemies. Friar is very weak to ranged attacks, for he has few or no evasive abilities, and often finds himself hiding and waiting for the ranged user to approach.

Posture - v

Equipped:





Unequipped:





Walking/Running: When walking or running, Friar pulls the handle of Twister down a bit so he can grab it with his left arm and lever it up so he holds it more horizontally to prevent it from touching the ground while moving.



I was thinking something along the lines of this.

Basic Attack Combo: Click 1, Frair slashes Twister to the left (6-8 base damage) - Click 2, Frair grabs the other end of Twister and bashes foward with the stick of it (7-8 base damage) - Click 3, Frair uses both hands on Twister to stab forward (8-9 base damage) -  Click 4, Frair uses both hands on Twister to slash downwards (9-12 base damage)

[PASSIVE] Endurance - Instead of a mana bar, Friar uses an Endurance bar. Whenever this Endurance bar gets below 40, Friar's movement speed goes from 0.9 to 0.85, and Endurance regeneration is slightly reduced. However when it is above 40, Endurance regeneration is slightly increased. Only slightly though. Very slightly.

[E] Cogitate - Friar sets Twister on the ground, and goes into a meditate stance. In this stance, Friar's defense goes from 1.0 to 0.7, and Friar has 3 seconds to input a randomly generated keystroke consisting of 5 letters that appears above his head. If the keystroke is input correctly, a sun appears above his head, shines light on him, then Friar gains 0.1 defense for 20 seconds, making it 1.1, and instantaniously gains 30 Endurance. If failed, a cloud will appear above his head, rain on him a bit, then Friar will lose 0.2 defense for 20 seconds, making it 0.8, and has 30 Endurance depleted, un-regeneratable for the 20 second time span. This ability can be used rapidly to gain full Endurnace, but the defense buff will NOT stack, each time you use it it will give less 5 Endurance, (Until the 45 second cooldown is gone) and the 0.1 Defense buff will only work every 45 seconds (25 second cooldown on the defense buff.)



Yes this is a real standing meditation stance.

[Z] Gouge - Friar takes Twister by both hands and jabs forward with great force, dealing 10-12 base damage. If an enemy is Staggered in front of him, Friar stabs downwards, dealing 12-14 base damage, also causing -Movement debuff of 0.05 for 10 seconds.

[X] Frisk - Friar grabs Twister with both hands leaps forward 15 studs with Twister over his head, swinging Twister into the ground before he lands, creating a small tremor. The AoE spreads 9 studs in all directions, and does base 7-10 damage. If Friar hits another player head on with Twister, it deals 10-13 base damage, and Staggers the enemy.

[C] Prod - Friar takes Twister and flips it around, using the handle of it to jab an enemy. If Prod hits an enemy, they instantly do the parry animation, making them wobble backwards, giving them a Defense debuff of 0.15 for 10 seconds, and doing 3-5 base damage.

[V] Judgement - Friar charges up a kick for one second, then kicks forward, slightly getting boosted 4-5 studs. If an enemy is hit by this, they are locked in place with 0 Movement and 0 Attack, while Friar takes Twister by both hands and stabs through them, dealing 16-22 base damage, then twists Twister while forcefully pulling it back out, doing 6-8 additional damage. This has a 50/50 chance to apply Movement debuff of 0.1 for 10 seconds. The enemy gets their mobility and damage back when Friar removes Twister from their body.

Alright. Well, that's a class I came up with. Yes it's horrible I know, but I got bored and made a bardiche on studio and I wanted to use it for something, even if it is a bad class suggestion lol. Anyway, I hope everyone likes it. Bee seein' you all around, peace.
