Hi, I've been inspired by some other Demigod ideas in this section of the forums and have decided to come up with my own suggestion, a Demigod that I believe will be fun to play.
Summary
Argyle is a melee brawler meaning he doesn't really use a weapon except for his armoued (weighted) fists and his agile but strong body. He brings on a relentless attack and won't let enemies run away easily.
Appearance
Argyle appears as a slightly larger then normal male human, with a light robe on, bare feet and thick gloves. He is somewhat muscely but still slender enough to be agile.
Background
Argyle has traveled the world seeking opponents strong enough to challenge him. He has over time developed his own fighting style and defeated many masters of various martial arts and other hand to hand fight styles as well as a few masters of melee weapon based styles.
Strengths
- Able to keep beating down an enemy with low mana cost
- Has great DPS and evasion
- Can chase down people who try to run
Weaknesses
- Lower HP then most classes
- Purely a melee type Demigod
Abilities
Heavy Punch(Active): Pulls his right arm back and launches a powerful punch. This punch deals 200/400/600/800 and reduces the targets attack speed by 3%/6%/9%/12% for 10 seconds (does not stack). Cast time is 1.5 second with a recast of 10 seconds with a low mana cost. 5th rank adds 2 second stun.
Disarm(Active): With a quick swipe of his arms, he disarms the enemy. This attack disarms an opponent for 3/4/5 seconds, making them unable to attack, though they can still move around in this period. It has a cast time of 2 seconds and a recast of 15 seconds with low mana cost..
Swift Blows(Active): Argyle starts to throw punches rapidly causing his opponent to sustain heavy damage quickly. During this attack Argyle must stay within melee range of the target to continue the attack. Each punch deals 50/100/150/200/250 and a punch happens every 0.5 seconds for up to 7 blows. After the attack, Arygle suffers a -15% attack speed debuff for 10 seconds due to the strain of this attack. This attack has a cast time of 1.5 seconds and a recast of 15 seconds with a medium mana cost.
Evasive Maneuvers(Passive): Argyle goes through many life or death trials which he learns to better evade a large variety of attacks. This abilty allows Argyle to evade attacks at a 2%/4%/6%/8% rate.
Chase Down(Active): Argyle chases down the target within 15m at a high speed of 150%/175%/200% causing them to be stunned for 0.5/1/2 seconds and dealing autoattack damage. Cast time is 1 second with a recast of 20 seconds and a low mana cost.
Endurance Training(Passive): Argyle undergoes special endurance training which allows him to sustain faster attack speeds. His speed increases by 5%/10%/15%/20%/25%.
Swift Movement(Passive): Through much training in harsh conditions and in life and death situations, Argyle learns to move much more swiftly then beefore gaining 3%/6%/9%/12%/15% in movement speed, allowing him to get to and from his enemies much quicker.
Strength Training(Passive): Argyle undergoes long sessions of strength training, increasing his overall strength. His attacks gain 5%/10%/15%/20% damage increases.
That seems to be my idea for this sort of Demigod. It is meant to get in and beat the enemy to a pulp. His has quite a bit of damage potential with no health/armour bonuses, but has some evasion and speed bonusesif you want to put points in. He is quite open to interupts and ranged type characters, although Chase Down will help him get up to range players fast if he needs to. His counter would depend on his build, if built for all out damage, one of the various ranged classes will be able to hurt him quite a bit from range, but if he goes for an evasive/speed build the larger hp tank types will be able to counter him better.
I've not thought of his basic starting stats yet, but I'd guess he'd be up there with UB/Sedna in starting movement speed, but down with the ranged style characters in HP. He'd greatly benefit from HP/Armour type items as well as damage increasing items.
Anyone got any feedback they could provide for this build, I'm probably not best at the actual damage/%age numbers provided.
