I believe nowadays the game got to a point where some things exist because they are forgotten about, no one will use them, and most of them
can be used somewhere else, this applies especially to some classes.
I have compiled i few classes that I personally think can be used in another way through the game, especially for a starter player
this will have 2 sections:
1 is classes that may not need to be worked on but need a new way to get
2 will be classes that can use some light work to be useful

1:
Class: Pirate
Use the new seasonal Pirate Skills instead of Rogue skills
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Class:Bard:Rework how to get it and remove Legend Tag.
its a class that is lower in power than any other rep class i know
so, how about unlock it from a simple quest and remove its legend tag?
specially early on players will be able to form a more "advanced" party
for those early story quest bosses and so on, it has cool effects,
they are just not worth rep 10 and legend in my opinion
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Class:Berserker: Add a quest version without Legend Tag.
this is a class that can deal with lower levels bosses solo but
will fall short really fast, it has no use and is, for all means, a forgotten class
that could see some use by those warrior dudes,
we can use it to give Thok from Trainers some use, put a quest to unlock it
the quest should be about getting some mushroom amanita
wich is believed to be the cause for the frenzy state of berserkers from history
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Class:Paladin
Remove Legend Tag
This Class is strong and a lot of cases when using against undead, it can solo some high damage monsters before
most other classes because of its strong heal and damage reduction, but it gets ignored because there are a lot of
other classes who can deal more damage or outlast the Paladin and are not Legend tagged
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Class: DeathKnight
Add a quest version without Legend Tag.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Class:Drakel Warlord
Add a quest version without Legend Tag.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Class: Blood Titan
Remove Legend Tag from Farm version.
this one is not as much as usable but it makes no sense for a map be free player but the item you get from its farm be legend
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

BeastMaster:
Add non-Legend new NPC on Green guard East in the intersection of Blood-tusk Ravine and Certain Death.
Quest line to unlock a non-rep version of BeastMaster that uses a wolf instead of a Grifflet
Exploring new players can find it, its not strong enough to be late game and not good enough to be locked behind Legend in my opinion
but it has nice utility on starter areas
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2:

Class:Acolyte
Remove Legend Tag, require rank 10 healer to buy.
Suggested Changes: Caster undead hunter.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Class: Dragon Slayer
Witcher style?
this class already has a good twist in it but it has no way of making this twist work, mostly because they lack damage and
any form of regeneration
Suggested Changes:

2-Drink up(replace Bane of Scales)15 seconds cool-down: user drinks a dragon blood potion, for 20 seconds the user has 100% more strength and health regen (100% weapon damage)
Receive Burning Blood, receive a light stacking DoT(10% Weapon Damage, up to 10x stacks) for 30 seconds

5-Talon Twisting: also has the effects of Bane of Scales: taunts a dragon while reducing its damage by 30% for 8 seconds

Rank 10 passive:
Veteran Slayer: DoT from burning reduced by 50%, but max stacks go up to 20x
Strength and Endurance increased by 50%
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



Those are only my suggestions, I would be happy if any changes to those classes come, not necessary my suggestions.
Also, about the removal of Legend Tag, I believe AQW can make enough money to keep itself from other items besides classes, It's my belief that every class should have at least a free farmable version, and legend users can get it from an easier way, but not be locked behind a paywall, this includes AC classes, but not event classes and Legion (as Legion already has a "free" way to get in, which is to play for 2 years without spending any ACs)

 Since Rogue is an Dexterous Class it should only be improving it's skills with dexterous attacks equal to their Dexterity and Increased Damage of Weapon because you have Strength|

Is it possible to remove all rank 10 passive that basically say "at randum class has le buff" where the buff is insignificant and doesn't alter the gamestate one bit. Instead make it so it becomes a 10% or 5% thing that activates with the auto-attack or a spamable skill, or just change them all to an actual buff to the class.
Also, I recently obtained ranger and it doesn't have a rank 10 passive, neither does shaman among other. Could something be done about this?

Since archmage is an upgraded mage, I'm guessing yearly one of the base classes will be "mastercrafted". I think that if this is the case that's very cool, I will never farm for any of these classes, but it's still cool to do an homage to the classics.
Having said this, can the basic four be updated to be actually viable? As a good comparison, oracle is an "starter" class and even in higher difficulty fights, while not being a powerhouse, it is useful and kinda fun. Barber is another good example, fun, although cooldowns are long and the effects last too short, also the nuke does nothing but waste mana, having said this, fun class. A last example would be blood sorceress which can be basically obtained at the start of the game, and while cooldowns are extremely slow, it is an ok farming class with high sustain. All of these have a rank 10 passive btw and are all easy to obtain.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Anyways, as for the reworks, my ideas are the following:

Rouge:
1 - same as current
2 - viper's kiss deals 120% weapon dmg and lasts 11 secs. Costs 5 mana.
3 - footwork costs 30 mana but has a 25 sec cooldown, meaning it can loop.
4 - stilleto doesn't deal any dmg, instead it's a buff skill, where it applies a buff that improves critical dmg and concealed blade now lasts 25 secs, non stackable. Stilleto now lasts 40 secs.
5 - opportunity strike deals 210% dmg if viper kiss is applied otherwise same as current.

rank 4 passives: same as current.
rank 10 passive: Critical hit dmg increased by 15%.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Warrior:
1 - 150%, 2.0 speed
2 - decisive strike now applies a buff that stacks 5 times, where each stack increases outgoing dmg by 8% for 10 secs. Also, now costs 11 mana.
3 - the stun is now for 3 seconds for imbalancing strike but it also applies a debuff to the opponent where their haste, outgoing dmg and dodge is reduced by 40%, non stackable.
4 - prepared strike also stacks now, each stack increases hit chance, crit chance and crit dmg by 6% up to 3 stacks for 12 secs. 15 mana and 8 secs cooldown.
5 - on guard applies the same buff reducing all damage taken by 50%, but now the caster will be targeted by the monster if on a party. Also a haste boost of 20%. Both effects last 20 secs, non stackable.

rank 4 passives: same as current but now both are 15%.
rank 10 passive: Endurance is increased by 25%.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mage:
1 - 100%, 2.0 speed, deals spell dmg.
2 - fireball now costs 14 mana and has a 5 sec cooldown, otherwise same as before
3 - ice shard now deals 500% if scorched is present, 14 mana and 5 sec cooldown.
4 - explosion now costs 20 mana, first target recieves 300% spell dmg, and adjacents 150%. Targets up to 5 targets.
5 - arcane shield now costs nothing, does not reduce caster's dmg output, lasts for 25 secs and the skill now has a 30 sec cooldown.

rank 4 passives: same as current but now both are 15%.
rank 10 passive: hit chance is increased by 15%.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Healer

1 - same as current
2 - heart beat now deals 20% current hp, and reduces opponent dmg by 20% for 8 secs renewable. 15 mana.
3 - healing word now also grants 10% end and def for 15 secs.
4 - energy flow now costs 0 mana.
5 - clear mind now targets 4 targets including self, also increases dodge and haste by 10% for 15 secs.

rank 4 passives: same as current but now both are 15%.
rank 10 passive: haste is increased by 15%.

One more schizoid sleep deprived rant before I go to be. Can y'all update rustbucket and ninja? T_T

Rustbucket/Enforcer/Protosatorium are ok with health vamp but ninja is unforgivable.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rustbucket/Enforcer/Protosatorium:
1 - 150%, 2.0 speed.
2 - jackhammer has a 3 sec cooldown now, also applies an effect that lowers the opponent's dodge and haste by 20% for 5 secs, non stackable.
3 - plasma bolt lowers the opponent's crit change and hit chance by 5% per stack, stacks 5 times, lasts 7 secs. 20 mana, 5 secs.
4 - arc lightning acts as current but also applies an effect that increases the dmg the opponent takes by 10%, the effect lasts 8 secs. 20 mana, 6 secs cooldown.
5 - event horizon reduces all dmg taken by 40%, also it increases hit chance and crit chance by 25%, the effect lasts 20 secs. 20 mana, 30 secs cooldown.

rank 4 passives: haste is increased by 20%, dmg taken is reduced by 20%.
rank 10 passive: Dmg output is increased by 20%.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ninja
1 - 125%, 1.75 speed.
2 - crosscut now applies a buff, increasing dmg output from all sources by 20% for 6 secs. 25 mana, 12 secs cooldown.
3 - shadowblade reduces the opponent's hit chance and haste by 50% for 6 secs. 25 mana, 12 secs cooldown.
4 - shadowburn now applies spinning dragon if shadowblade is active, otherwise it will apply a DoT effect and heal 20 mana. 0 mana, 8 secs.
5 - thin air increases dodge, haste and crit change by 20%, lasts 20 secs. 30 mana, 30 secs. Yes, it can loop, cuz loops r fun.

rank 4 passives: same as current.
rank 10 passive: haste is increased by 15%.

Ninjas gain mana like rouges.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ninja is particularly awful for its mana problems. It generates 1 mana per strike, 4 per critical if I remember correctly.

Vindicator of They

I just want your half - this skill is basically the same as soul siphon from legion doomknight but deals less damage and recover less hp, so maybe ctrl+c/v the formula?

Horc Evader

Whistle - can now summon new pets: rhison and vulture, each with different capabilities when equiped

Battle rhison: 15% more defense;
Battle boar: 10% more crit chance;
Battle jungle vulture: 15% more haste;

Shadow Strike - changed from short range to medium range

Troll spellsmith

Auto attack changed from physical to hybrid and from short range to long range. Name changed to trollaic shamanic emission

Dragonslayer

Bane of scales - current effect to apply focus to every monster during 5 seconds, but if fighting dragonkins the effect is stronger and lasts 10 seconds instead;

Talon twisting - current effect to apply to every monster, but against dragonkins it also applies spinning dragon.

Master ranger

Focus Arrow: A consumable item sold by Zhoom, requires rank 10 sandsea. A long range attack that deals 100% weapon damage. If the user has any stack of Mark (which ranger applies), all of it's attacks will now converge to a single target while increasing it's attack power for 60 seconds (similar to what dragon of time does).

Thief of hours

Just copy/paste the last skill of chrono assassin on its last skill as it seems CA's don't glitches foes

Also something that could benefit some classes: the flame/burning animation could be changed to a better visual. I've already made a list of flames suggestions on feature and functionally suggestions.

ShadowScythe General need an adjusting for my opinion and here my reason. Its damage is a bit lacking it takes too long to kill an enemy and its skill 4 will only deal massive damage on 1 target. and i know its more of a defensive debuffer farmer class but its consume time for a farming class, its shadow token requirement will take time in doing quest for the f2p player in getting ShadowScythe General. So here are my suggestion if ShadowScythe General will have an adjustment on its skills.

(Nerf) all skill will not consume mana > all skill must now consume mana

(Nerf) Auto attack cannot stack consuming soul

(Balance) all skill will target 6 > all skill will target 2,3 or 4 and increase damage

(Balance/Buff) Rank 1 Skill 1 remove petrification > increase damage and(increase haste/decrease enemy hit chance by 10-20%)

(Buff) Rank 5 Skill 4 add petrification/increase damage

Thats all my suggestion if ShadowScythe General will have an adjustment. Thank you and i love this game so much

 Timeless Choronomancer/Corrupted Chronomancer needs an adjustment.

The class, today is absoltely useless. Easier classes can be used do make what the Timeless/Corrupted can do.

What makes the class useless are the consumables and one bug: Entropic Corruption, Hourglass of Paradise and one bug with Infinite Corruption.

Infinite Corruption BUG: Recieving the HoT effect before a damage buff -likes the Transience buff-, makes the HoT very smaller than recieve the HoT effect after a damage buff. With active healing, even receiving a damage buff, the healing is not corrected, it remains low. This need a fix. This will simplify how use the class, reducing the frustation while learning the class and boosting the success in using the class.
Recomended changes: Fix Hot no increasing.
Aditional sugestion: A buff to increase the HoT or reduce the self DoT is very wellcome.
Low HoT:


Normal HoT:



Entropic Corruption: While use the Hourglass of Tranciense is almost impossible, the entropic is show us the easiest alternative to use the timeless, but this consumable put the user among the cross and the sword. While soloing, we have -150% defence, making the class useless for any soloing: We die to all commons bosses. Whily party, we apply focus, and still fragile, making the Timeless/Corrupted useless in hard-hit bosses, which are the ones that generally have a lot of life.
It's not useful to use alone, it's not useful to use in a team... Why is it there?
Recomended changes: Remove -150% defense debuff or remove focus. I prefer the -150% debuff to be removed: This change will make the consumable extraordinarily useful for team survivability, and make the Timeless/Corrupted useful on common bosses.

Hourglass of Paradise:I don't need to comment on how useless this consumable is.
Recomended changes: Using the expertise that the class council obtained by forging the ArchMage, it would be great if the Hourglass of Paradise worked like the ArchMage works: Two instances, each with its own peculiarities.
Keep Paradise features and add effects for when you disable Paradise.
Maybe leaving paradise and going to hell and then back to paradise.

Thanks in advance.

LeandroV.

P.S.

Hourglass of Paradise + Foresee Coruption:To avoid making a radical change on Hourglass of Paradise, i recommend increasing Hourglass's synergy with Foresee Corruption.
Recomended changes: Increase Hourglass of Paradise's tanky characteristics: +100% END, damage resistance 60% -> 80%, +100% Healing Intake; For Foresse Corruption, to benefit the class as a whole, i recommend decreasing the cooldown of the consumable 60 Sec. -> 30 Sec., Change The Future also applies an 80% Chit Chance buff. This will bring better dynamism of use and greater consistency to this forgettable consumable.

 Hello!

I do have a suggestion to make comming with the recent changes to the starter classes more specificly healer and warrior. I'm new to the non op pvp community and we arn't that happy about the changes.
I do understand that we are a small community and people wanting to buff classes that are not that great and we do not want you to stop doing that nor revoke any changes. What we are asking are that you
would add some classic versions of those classes getting buffed for example a classic healer and classic warrior just like you have with previous classes like classic dragonlord, classic guardian, classic starlord,
classic paladin and classic doomknight for example. As of now we are left with battle healer and pvp test healer which both are exactly the same class and both are member, we need a classic verison of the
healer class that isn't member so that both new and old players comming back could try it out.

We are awear of our community not being as big anymore and that we can't stop you from improving the game for the majority of players but I hope we also could get some love, thank you for reading and
I hope you have a great day

 Timeless Chronomancer

Hey everyone, I would like to talk about the Timeless Chronomancer class and it's variations.

Right now, the class it's a bit of a mess, from all the 9 consumables combinations just 2 are really usable, and that should not be the case. This class has a great concept of being an adaptable and complex class, but it lacks consistency, I feel like it has great potencial but kinda of a bad design.

I think the class should also have a better defined core principles, my suggestion to achieve that is to better define what stats should be important for the class and what each hourglass and corruption should do, I think all of them should have more of a role and be usable without corruptions, for consistency sake. In my opnion all the hourglasses modes should share some traits, for an example, I think all of them should be a dodge based class, and buff the same stats, this would also make everything more consistent without limiting how different the modes can get.

Hourglass of Transcience

This hourglass is what sets the tone of my suggestions, it has a lot of personality and a lot of problems. I find the idea of having a self dot and a dodge buff really interesting, this kinda changes how you approach a monster because you not just fighting the monster, it becomes a secondary thing, you are mostly fighting the dot, and that's really cool.

With that said, I think the first thing to do is to define what how I think this hourglass should work, what would be it's weak/strong points as well it's challenges and what are the current problems that it faces.

I think this hourglass should have a role of being a high skill, high reward, high risk kinda of gameplay, going towards soloing high hp, high hitting bosses.

Let's start the discussion by the problems and then talk about ideas.

The first problem is that the self dot on Transcient is too unpredictable, it gets increased/decreased by your resistances, stats, total hp, other class buffs and so on. That even makes this hourglass conflict with forge enchantments. For an example if you use Valiance as your weapon enchantment, the self dot is gonna grow so much that you gonna die even with Infinite Corruption healing, not to mention the capes or helms enchantments This hourglass is only really usable when you are alone and combining it with Infinite Corruption because you need the healing hot to survive the dots.

The second problem is that the dodge buff is only accessible after you use your fourth ability twice without healing, that makes this hourglass even more unreliable, making it almost impossible to survive a monster damage combined with the self dot, even when the monster has a low damage.

Now let's talk about the ideas.

The first thing to do would be to define this hourglass identity a little better. In my opnion the original design goes for something of a dodge class with a high skill celling and great damage, so let's improve that. My idea is to fully embrace the dodge class aspect of the hourglass, the growing self dot that makes it impossible for you to always have the dodge and the two fase damage and haste buff, making it so that you need to have a good timing of your abilities if you want to extract the full potential of the class.

So my idea is to first make the self dot more predictable, making it deals true damage based on a percentage of your max health and grow with time, this way the self dot would not be affected by buffs or equipments, making it posslbe to use more corruption combinations, forge enchantments and it would aways give you the same amount of time to use your abilities. Currently we need to be able to survive 4 ticks of this dot to make a full combo, so a dot that starts taking 5% of your max health as true damage and doubles every time it ticks, would aways let your survive 4 ticks if not hit by a monster, 5 ticks if you have heals, and never 6 as it would get up to 160% of your total hp as true damage. I think it's really important to be a true damage tick so this hourglass can be used with Entropic Corruption.

The next thing to do would be to make Transcient apply the 50% dodge buff, so the first time you press the fourth ability you already have a great dodge, making it so that the only damage you have to manage is the true damage self dot, then on the second time you press your fourth ability without healing you would get the current 50% damage buff of Ephemeral, and then if you heal while Transcient or Ephemeral, you get Stabilze, buffing only haste in 50%, we would not need the endurance buff anymore, removing the endurance buff would also increase the risk of dying by getting hit, so it would again benefit someone that can you use this class correctly (Stabilize haste buff is also what makes possible to make a full combo during the 4 first ticks of the self dot).

Hourglass of Power

Overall this hourglass is currently the best, as it is a lot easier to use than Hourglass of Transcience and it also has the highest damage, as it is the only hourglass usable(barely) with Entropic Corruption.

I think this hourglass should have a role of low skill, low reward, low risk gameplay, going towards farming low hitting, high hp bosses.

While I really like the simplicity of this hourglass I think it should be changed a little for consistency sake. Instead of buffing damage, haste, critical strike chance, critical strike damage, hit chance, dodge chance, damage resistency by 10%, I think it should buff damage, haste and dodge chance by 20%, this would improve its survivability and overall speed while lowering damage a bit because it would crit less. Also the increased dodge would make this class a lot more usable with Entropic Corruption (it's best match).

Hourglass of Paradise

Currently this hourglass is not usable, it does not fit any role of the game. This hourglass is designed to transform the class in a Tank, lowering its damage by a lot, but the thing is, we already have a hourglass that do not lower the class damage, and it works a lot better as boss fighting class, so, what is the purpose of having a tanker mode? Also it's buff is activated by the fourth skill, making it not usable with 2 of the 3 corruptions, and the only usable corruption is a healing one, which this hourglass already has a lot.

I think this hourglass should be completly transformed in a support role, to continue to have a relavant gameplay compared to the others. This way this class might be used in hard to solo bosses like Azalith, or maybe even an ultra boss.

Firstly I would remove the current buff on the fourth skill and would make that it has a permanent -70% damage debuff, but with no crit or crit damage loss. This would make this hourglass usable with the other corruptions, as it's buff would not be tied to the fourth skill anymore.

Second thing I would make, is to change the third skill to a area heal to up 6 or 7 friendly targets, giving each one a buff of 30% damage, haste and dodge chance buff and maybe a mana comsuption buff as well. This way this hourglass would continue to have a lot less damage than the others but it would make a great damage support as it still is a calendar class.


Entropic Corruption

Amazing overall, this corruption is the reason why this class works so well with dodge chance, because at the same time it taunts a target, it increases the damage you take by a lot.

This corruption should be the high risk, high reward.

I would change the haste buff to a crit buff, something like 10-20% crit chance. This would make that this corruption does not make it easier to use Hourglass of Transcience as it would make sure that you need Stabilize haste buff to work well with the class. It would also slow Hourglass of Power a little as it would get around 40% haste without this.

Infinite Corruption

This is what makes transcience viable right now, and I really like it's simplicity. This corruption should continue to be the one of a support aspect.

I would make it's hot heals something like 25% of the max hp, making sure that when combined with Hourglass of Transcience you can survive the fifth self dot, making it easier to manage the class, giving you more time.

I would also move it's dot to the base class, so all of the hourglasses have something of a growing damage over time.

And finaly I would add a small 10% dodge buff while the hot is active, this would make all the hourglasses more reliable and easier to use when this corruption is chosen.

Foresee Corruption

Right now this corruption is just too complicated and has a too high cooldown and it's not used. I think it should be simplified.

As the other corruptions, this one should work as buff, but with a low skill, low reward, taking the role of a jack of all trades.

It could be simple buff like increasing the damage buff of the fourth skill by an extra 40%-50%. It would be a great alternative to the 100% of Entropic Corruption as it would have none of the downsides.

Considerations

I think that with those changes this class would be a lot more popular, and a LOT more consistent while keeping it's skill celling and complexity. We would finally have 9 different usable and interesting combinations.

 I know it has been buffed before but I would like to suggest a slight rework to a skill on Great Thief.

The class is Great Thief and a great thief would be always prepared! My suggestion is a change to coin flip, in a sense a thief wouldn't take such a gamble without knowing it is in their odds.
At less than 20% total mana or even 15% , coin toss should always give the mana regeneration instead of the heal over time. It would solve mana issues and the class mainly is a dodge class not really needing a heal over time as much.

A Rigged Coin Toss perhaps?

 After additional thought, at low health % , it should apply the HoT instead. This way it thematically always plays into the thieves favour when things are looking grim for them. At higher than 20% health/mana, the coin toss should still be 50/50.

 Please make Evolved Shaman great again and fix Undead Goat!
Evolved Shaman just has no real purpose even in mid game. Its not a farmer, subpar PvP at best, zero support cause heal is so low, and the soloing takes ages when there are better classes for this unless you literally haven't farmed anything else. Its such a grind to get, and there is no reason to used the EVOLVED version when base Shaman is just better. Maybe lower cooldown on the 3 skills and make skill 5 a multi target that stacks on YOURSELF? That might actually make the class pretty decent, but its overshadowed and unused. Period. Not even in PVP since HP is so high and relying on a 50/50 stun is so inconsistent that it leads to death every time.

Undead Goat is just very bad. Got banked instantly, while Darside was praised for its cool looking aesthetic, Pet combat style, 4 target attacks, and somewhat recent buffs and reskin.
Oh, and its SOOOOOO slow! The rank 10 doesn't even work. The 15% haste buff feels like it TAKES AWAY haste instead. You can have Vim at level 100 and still cap at 11% Haste. ELEVEN! That's base haste from enhancements! The haste rank 10 doesn't work. Please rework Undead Goat. It was such a cool concept and the poor fella didn't even get a well received class. Noobstine deserves better. He basically got a winning lottery ticket and only received infamy for his class being so bad. So please, AE, FIX. THESE. CLASSES!
