Gardna?
Weapon: 2H Shears
A class that's good at tending my yard.
Don't listen to them TS.
Shield bash should be a rush skill with a slam at the end.(should be like 100% dmg)
defenders should use HP as main stat like DA.
I assume shield charge ups shield bash so uhh yeah it should add more damage and a holy aura to character that does damage to nearby enemies for a % of ur hp (toggle skill and add 50% dmg to bash)
4th job should have like... shield charge+ which adds more % dmg to aura (let's say aura is now 30% of ur hp dmging monsters) and bash dmg increased 70% for a final damage output of 220%
2nd job skill "Improved defense" should increase defense 100%
3rd job "Tower" should bypass defense cap and add 2000 defense
3rd job "Offense" raises attack based on damage taken. The less you take the more att buff. Lasts like... 300 sec and based off of ONE hit taken after buffing
1 dmg = 60 att
500- = 45 att
5000- = 30 att
rest = 20 att
Add 4th job skill Bastion(just using defensive sounding names o.o) that is a buff to add 20% hp idk if this should be pt skill or not... MAYBE?
4th job "Ultimate Offense" 20% pdr and 20% boss dmg to party for 150 sec. Cooldown 180 sec.
Hyper should up shield bash aura dmg to 40%
2nd hyper ups dmg to 250%
Mirror Finish should restore 3% hp per 4 secs
Hyper should increase it to 5%
Link skill : "Plus" 20% more exp and 5%wdef+mdef and hp 5% exp for linked chars.
All I can think of for now. I think maybe the last shield charge+ should make damage neutral so he doesnt get reduced dmg from bosses or just negate any damage reduction period. His hero will should also have a shorter cooldown than other classes. Maybe change it to Undying will and cooldown would be like 60 sec.
I like this concept a lot
EDIT: How could I forget... other beginner skills~
"Creed" Defense increased by 15% of hp.
"Rescue" Warp to ally and stun all enemies around them. Cooldown 4 min
"Shield gliding" Consume 1% hp every 2 sec to glide along the ground. Press skill again to do a flash jump and hold to glide in position.
I will tell you, the only thing wrong about Maplestory is the lack of this kind of jobs.
What i mean is like MS is not desinged to have classes like full support (like the ones you see in WoW), simply because the gameplay is not designed for that,
i don't know if you get me
I'd just drop the shield and pick up a 2h.
@darkquill At first I was going to name the class defender, but I couldn't think of a name for the new branch, so I then thought awhile THEN I thought about Big Shield Gardna, and thought that Gardna sounded cool, plus would make a good class name while Defender would be the new branch.

Could also be based off of Goofy from kingdom hearts.
u do need skills to lvl up to 60 and 100 right?
"hey guys I watched an episode of Yugioh and I think there should be an all-new class based on one monster card"
This is just as bad as those "I just finished watching all of Bleach, so obviously Nexon should create an Ichigo class" threads.
Nawhhh
i would rather play a pally than this. how are people going to lvl up if they dont do any damage
No... nobody really will like this. Besides, if people bandwagon this, how will they train? Their active hyper skill should have (only) a 10 second or so cooldown...
And what does Shield Charge do?
not bad
However it needs a dmg skill to lvl so shield bash should do dmg.
i'm happy this person doesn't work for nexon...
Some of these belong on paladins...
