Wristbowmaster the nonexistent archer

Feel free to give your thoughts @KrazyKid132 , @saharshap ,and others

This is a work in progress, that I for unknown reasons touch up on every few months. Yes, I am weird, deal with it. I literally took old skills that don't exist any more and made this class. There is [b]no archer that has multiple hits and a non-rapid fire 1v1 skill anymore.[/b] And please before you claim something is broken, analyze the skills [b]carefully[/b]. That doesn't mean there aren't things broken, just read carefully, if at all.

[b]Wristbow Master[/b]

Concept: Lightning is unpredictable but also piercing when it strikes, which is why the output of the Wristbow User is sporadic. While BM excels at 1v1 and MM at mobbing, Wristbow Users are slightly below average in both 1v1 and mobbing. To compensate, Wristbow Users rely on bind effects, status resistance, damage reflect ignore, and etc.

Primary Weapon - Wristbow; a small bow that fits on one's wrist. It appears to be able to harness the power of lightning.

Secondary Weapon - Saiga; An ancient static container filled with capsules. The capsules can store lighting for use in battle. Who needs arrows, when you have lightning!

Instructor - Kara, a childhood friend of Athena and Mercedes, enters the fray. Jealous of the adoration Athena receives from her students, Kara decides that she too wants to become an instructor and guide young explorers on the wild power of the Wristbow and Saiga. Not having her own training grounds, Kara sets up shop right in Athena's school! A friendly and humorous teaching rivalry between two elves has just begun!

1st Job is same as BM/MM for story purposes. However, Kara tricks Athena into doing a hilarious random errand and as a result the player can only advance to a Wristbow Apprentice if they chose the special archer explorer route instead of the standard explorer selection.

[*]Targets of a Wristbow User's bind effects is immune to ALL Wristbow User bind effects, including other Wristbow Users, until the duration of the casters effect.
[*] Bind effects are per attack and NOT per hit.
[*] I didn't put % for attacks, because, I don't have a maplestory super machine and wouldn't know how to balance the output appropriately. See prior description note of what the damage output for the class is like.
[*] At max speed cap, the class hits/s does not exceed 31 hps.
[*] Kara in norse mythology means "the wild, stormy one" or " "the curly one." As such, Kara is an Elf instructor with curly hair and teaches the art of lightning.
[*] A small porcupine lives in Kara's hair. According to Kara, his name is "GET OUTTA MY HAIR!" or Gomh for short.
[*] Sky Porcupines make "Kyu~" sounds.
[*] Another Archer idea I am working on involves the Novans. Let's say there are 5 Novan Heros that spell out Korea. K and A are already revealed as Kaiser and Angelic Buster. The Archer's name would be Rune. They would utilize runestones to summon siege weapons that are mostly of projectile nature. Thier 1v1 skill would level up each job advance (i.e. Mini Ballista -> Mega Ballista -> Titan Ballista)

[quote=bluebomber24]I have seen less than 3 minutes of LoL and don't understand the game at all. So I wouldn't know. The class plays somewhat like Hunter/Sniper pre-Leafre patch, but instead of having puppet they have binds.[/quote]

But can it be the original Arrow Rain animation? I never really liked the revamped look.

[quote=KrazyKid132] Seems good. I like the ideas you put on the table. I'd like more info on the wristbow like its attack speed and such. Also my one gripe with it is that its called sky porcupine and not Zapdos/[/quote]

As awesome as that is, I prefer Nexon not get sued by Nintendo

[quote=saharshap] Just got on; was busy with some work.
OT: You had me at "Ignore damage reflect."
Planning is well thought out. I'm assuming that their mobility wouldn't be the greatest due to their high crowd control/self buff?
Didn't dissapoint. I'm frothing thinking about ignoring DR. Now make it real. [/quote]

Its mobility and movement nearly identical to Marksman. So yes its not the greatest?...it depends on what you view as great mobility. If I had a lot of time...which I don't, I probaly could attempt to get Nexon (Korea primarily) to at least take a look at it. But that requires me to be annoying, persistent, and talk to a lot of ppl, which I just don't have the time for. On top of that, outside of contests, creative ideas tend to be ignored, so I would have an uphill battle. First create a job contest that is released by Nexon, I will be there though!
