i like blademaster melee is one of my speciality since long years

 

Blade Master as a Class is a pretty cool idea.

There are only a few buff sets that actually have melee weapons as the main weapon of choice when it comes to the infected. So this could be nice for a future update

This is a joke, for you weebs, Bye

 

Not bad at all, I'll have more thoughts on this later but I'll leave it here for now.

These anime character ideas xDDD, this is just perfect xD

Here's an actual class idea from my thoughts at work today, and overnight:

- Arcane Mage -

Requires Level 5 in Support, Debuffer and Hunter and 1 new role quest, which you'll only get to do after having maxed out the above classes.

On Unlocking the Class:

• (Passive) Elemental Swords: With the |E| Flaming Sword Buff equipped, it now allows the weapon to take on different elemental properties, affecting melee weapon stats. Hold SHIFT for 3 seconds to change melee weapon elemental affinity with compatible melee weapon in hand. 60 second cooldown.
  Flaming Sword: The melee weapon now pierces 10% melee defense when attacking infected and ignites them, dealing 1% current HP as damage, tanks take 0.1% of current HP as damage each tick for 10 seconds instead.
  Thunder Sword: The melee weapon now attacks 25% faster but deals 20% reduced melee damage. It has a 10% chance (3% on tanks) to stun any infected hit for 3 seconds. Infected stunned through Thunder Sword have a low chance to be electrocuted for a small time afterwards.
  Ice Sword: The melee weapon now attacks 20% slower but deals 25% more melee damage. Hitting infected will slow their attack and movement speed by 15% on hit (1% on tanks) (Max: 30% reduction). If an infected is frozen, hitting them will instantly kill them regardless of HP and deals x2 damage to tanks, ignoring defenses.
• (Passive) Arcane Energy: Each time you kill any SI, deal 1000 damage to tanks using your elemental swords/abilities or 2500 damage to tanks in any other case , you will gain 1 stack of mana. Mana is used for some class abilities.
• (Passive) Element Affinity: Whenever you fight any tanks, you will be able to scan their body by holding USE for 5 seconds while facing them the entire time within 1000 units. This will give you their elemental resistances and weaknesses, giving you valuable information on them. Striking any tank that is weak to an element will make them take 25% more damage and have respective element effects become 25% more effective. Striking any tank resistant to an element will halve the damage that the tank takes.

On Reaching Level 1:

• (Active) Fire Attack: Let's you drop fire at your location without the use of a molotov. The fire will deal 20 HP/s to infected standing in it, igniting them. It lasts for 5 seconds and deals no friendly fire damage to survivors. Costs: 1 mana, 15 second cooldown. Using the flaming sword with this ability increases effectiveness by 25%.
• (Active) Ice Attack: Let's you create an ice explosion at your location without the use of Freezing Grenade. The explosion will deal 500 damage to nearby infected, slowing them by 20% for 5 seconds and freezes them if they're too close. Costs: 1 mana, 15 second cooldown. Using the ice sword with this ability increases effectiveness by 25%.

On Reaching Level 2:

• (Active) Fire Shield: Allows you to select one alive survivor other than yourself and gives them a fire shield. This gives that survivor 20% damage reduction against fire damage, fire affinity on their weapons, makes fire based slows decay faster and gives immunity to being burned for 10 seconds. The fire shield lasts for 30 seconds and will instantly dissipate if the survivor touches any body of water or becomes frozen. Costs: 7 mana, 3 minute cooldown.
• (Active) Ice Shield: Allows you to select one alive survivor other than yourself and gives them an ice shield. This gives that survivor 20% damage reduction against ice based attacks, ice affinity on their weapons, makes ice based slows decay faster and gives immunity to being frozen for 10 seconds. The ice shield lasts for 30 seconds and will instantly dissipate if the survivor is exposed to fire. Cost: 7 mana, 3 minute cooldown.

On Reaching Level 3:

• (Passive) Status Penetration: Allows all buffs that inflict status effects to bypass status effect immunites (except for debilitate immunity) of all tanks. Status effects inflicted on a tank that is immune to it is 50% less effective, but also gives 1 mana.
• (Active) Thunder Attack: Let's you create a lightning blast where you point at within 1000 units of yourself. Any infected shocked within range will take 500 damage, become stunned and will become electrocuted if they're too close to the blast. Mutated Infected that are affected also have a 5% chance to lose their mutation, reverting them into normal infected. Costs: 1 mana, 15 second cooldown. Using the thunder sword with this ability increases effectiveness by 25%.

On Reaching Level 4:

• (Passive) Element Guard: While using any specific elemental sword, it will give you 10% defense against the tank associated with that element and gives -20% reduced bad status effect duration (cannot stack). Being near any survivor that is attacked by the tank will transfer 25% of the damage dealt and status time from them to you instead. This gives you 1 mana for every 500 damage taken through Element Guard.
• (Active) Drain Attack: Allows you to consume a first aid kit by shoving any tank with it. For 30 seconds, 10% of the damage dealt is transferred back to the survivor as health received, benefiting from any more health gain effects. Any survivors who inflict the affected tank with a bad status will receive 50% more HP back based on the damage dealt. Tank cannot be drained again from for 90 seconds after, 120 second cooldown.

On Reaching Level 5:

• (Active) Magic Attack: When you have gained 50 mana, using your current element sword, hold USE and SHIFT for 5 seconds while standing still. This can let you target an area within 1000 units of you, doing an powerful elemental attack based on your elemental sword's affinity. With fire affinity, you'll release a fireball explosion, dealing 5,000 damage to all infected nearby, leaving behind a fire puddle that deals 200 HP/s for 15 seconds. With electric affinity, you'll summon several thunderbolts to strike down on an area, dealing 10,000 damage to all infected in the area, stunning them for 6 seconds (3 seconds on tanks), and electrocuting them for 15 seconds afterwards, all bypassing debilitate/status cooldowns.
