Really Bored. Idea for Nova Archer

Hi Basil! I'm bored right now so I was thinking and came up with ideas for a Nova Archer. *Flame Shield*

[header]Nova Archer (Haven't thought of name yet)[/header]
Archer-Mage Hybrid [DEX + INT]
Weapon: 1st Job - Wand/Staff,
2nd 3rd and 4th job - Spirit Bow or Wand/Staff (Cannot use a lot of skills with the latter)

Uniques:
-Spirit System
-Secondary Weapon is the ExoSphere (Stolen from ToS )

Pros:
-High Mobility (Teleport + high speed)
-Mobber(in 2nd job) or 1v1
-Doesn't use arrows (can also be a con)
-High MP (Part Mage)

Cons:
-Low HP (Because it's mage)
-Can't think of any right now

[header]Spirit System[/header]
The Spirit System is sort of like a mix of Demon Slayer's Fury System and Kaiser's Morph Gauge System. You unlock the Spirit System at 2nd job and Spirit Unleash (A transformation thingy) at 3rd/4th job. You can absorb one spirit once per monster (ExoSphere Mastery gives you a chance to absorb 2). The chance to absorb the monster's spirit is based on your ExoSphere and Spirit Bow. In each job advancement you get an upgrade of Spirit Pulse which increases stats based how much spirit you have.

[header]Storyline (To 1st Job)[/header]
*Insert Name* was a normal boy in Pantheon who wanted to be know like a lot of other kids. His mom encouraged this by wanting him trained to be like his dad (whoever that is). One day his mom send him to Arching school. *Insert Name* liked shooting arrows and all but was much more interested in magic. <Here you are taught beginner skills, with a sword. You train to level 10> On the next new moon, *Insert Name* sneaked away from the training camp to seek a better future. He hears voices calling him telling him to come. The voices led him to a glowing hole in the ground. *Insert Name* tries to get a closer look and falls into the portal. To his delight, he ended up in Ellinia, the town of the fairies. *Insert Name* meets Grendel the Really Old Magician and teaches him some basic magician skills.

[header]Storyline (To 2nd Job)[/header]
<Train, Grind, Train, Grind to level 28 > <Get's quest> *Insert Name* starts hearing the same voices he heard while he was escaping camp. The voices are calling to him and this time *Insert Name* passes out. He ends up in Harmony, where the spirit that has been calling *Insert Name* is. The spirit (haven't thought of name yet) talks to *Insert Name* about how he needs to, and has the potential to take down Magnus and his forces. The spirit also gives *Insert Name* an ExoSphere, because it knows he is one of the few that can control it, and a Spirit Bow, because *Insert Name* is destined for a bow. <These quests take you to level 30> *Insert Name* goes back to Grendel. Grendel sees *Insert Name* has a bow and an ExoSphere. *Insert Name* tells Grendel he wants to use the bow, but magic too, and Grendel says no one has ever combined magic with anything else, but it is possible. Grendel tells *Insert Name* to collect 30 Magical Orbs to infuse magic into his bowmen skills. <Collects, turn in, and job advance>

good try but the idea of an archer/mage combination would conflict with the ap stats. That, and archers have a hard time keeping up with just mercedes so i'm gonna have to say no on this one

A pure DEX archer? no no, that wouldn't go with the storyline at all. Although I can see you love DEX very much. I might someday make a class called DEX! It will use DEX I guess

[url=http://imageshack.us/f/59/uglyspiritbow.png/]Super Ugly Drawing Powers![/url] I did it
Actually, I think the Spirit Bow should resemble the nx bow cover "shiner"

So you're probably wondering after blinding your eyes by looking at that ugly drawing, "How the heck do you shoot the arrows?"
WELL! You use magic Haven't you ever thought how Mercedes shot?

I was thinking the first job should be like a regular mage because he gets to the Maple World with nothing and Grendel decides to teach him some of his basic magician skills

And yes! everyone bandwagon the hybrids >.<
It's fine if you guys thing I'm uncreative and unoriginal I might be, I might not be. I know this isn't going to get accepted <3 this was made for fun

EDIT: @above it is an archer/mage hybrid .-. I should add a TL;DR

Not that I could think of anything better
nice start but your unique spirit system is just like demon's fury and kaiser gauge? what will the job get out of the transformation/make it different from the rest?

Needs more dragons.
And this is essentially Xenon with Archers and Mages.

I dunno, the idea of a spirt archer has potential, but making him a hybrid bowman/mage makes me think you just copied Xenon's thief/pirate status for the sake of copying it, especialy since neither of the Novas are hybrids. Plus, I don't like how you blantly give it 1st job mage skills, consider none of the non-explorer mage hae anything similar to explorer mage skills bar like magic guard or a form of a magic attack buff

! Pretty neat, just make a few changes I.E First job because that's just a regular mage,

@below Negative Nancy.

@below That MAY be true, but if you're negative most of the time, it causes people to think you're negative and stray away from you. I'm not always positive, but I just think he has something going. Fix it up, spiff it up, clean it up.

Ew... and we accuse nexon of being unoriginal..
@above Being a negative person has its upsides, for example: I'm always looking at the worst possible outcome so I'm prepared for it, rather than you and your happy-go-lucky "It'll all be fine!" attitude.
