I think Trooper really needs to be reclassified. It doesn't fit as a mage.

Here are my reasons...

1. Here's the official Mage description: "Classes that focus on using their abilities to deal damage with versatile ability sets meant for either great burst damage or damage over time."

1a. Trooper's moveset is NOT versatile; It's suited well for range, but its melee capabilities are terrible. Versatile means "able to adapt". However, Trooper's X does not allow for combos, its V cannot have its direction changed, and its click combo just sucks.

1b. Another part of the description says "great burst damage". Trooper's only efficient burst move is its V, and it's very hard to successfully use the V to deal high damage.

1c. "Damage over time" Trooper deals no damage or debuffs over time, unlike Vulca's unique Fire debuff and Cryo's Dry Ice freezing effect. Trooper's only useful debuff is the Defense debuff from its C, which can be hard to use because of Trooper's tiny projectiles.

2. Compare Trooper to other Mages. Seems terrible now, right?

Vulca Pros/Cons...

Pros:

- Unique Fire debuff that inflicts damage over time

- High Damage

- Melee-Range hybrid

- Great combos, easy to use

Cons:

- Easily killed by a team of enemies (excludes juggernaut vulcas which are OP af)

Cryo Pros/Cons...

Pros:

- Freezing effect that lowers an enemy's speed and/or defense as ice chunks are attached to them

- Semirange/Melee hybrid

- Multiple modes

- Unique Ice Drake system that charges easily, enables/improves your V, and enables your X.

Cons:

- Easy target

Nether Pros/Cons...

Pros:

- Multiple modes

- Incredible mobility

- Strong Combos

- Extremely versatile moveset

Cons:

- Vulnerable when stunned or against a powerful foe

Now, here are Trooper's Pros/Cons:

Pros:

- Incredible range

- Powerful V

Cons:

- Terrible Combos

- Limited Ammo

- V and X miss easily

- Bad at melee

These are my main two reasons for why Trooper should be reclassified (probably as Support or somethin').
