*takes deep breath*
Enchanter.
Crafter+Mage is my idea. Somewhere between the two classes.
My idea for this class revolves around minecraft 1.0 right now, unless it can be done in this current versoin. I don't know. I didnt make Primordia.
I always visualized this class as more crafter then mage, but this class can also hold off in a fight.
An enchanter has the ability to wield all tools. This includes diamond, and gold. They can wear leather helm, and legging. They can wear Iron and leather helm and chestplate.
They can wield up to gold in swords, but not diamond.
My idea is that they can enchant weapons and tools to be more powerful, or have elemental capabilities.
examples:
Sword: can be enchanted with: poison, fire, strength, and healing capabilities.
Bow: can be enchanted with, fire, strenght, and healing capabilities.
Hoe: can be enchanted with: automatic fertile soil upon tilling
Shovel: can be enchanted with: being able to go through dirt faster, and yielding possibly 2x dirt drops.
Pickaxe: can be enchanted with: Possible double drops, healing capabilities.
All armor enchantments will include but are not limited to: hunger stifling/slowing effects, VERY slow HP regeneration, stronger defense, etc.
I dont think i missed any tools...?
This class will have skills similar to a crafters, but will also have enchanting skills as well. This class is mainly a helper class, giving powerful tools to those who need them, BUT the enchanting spells will require a heavy price. I'm gonna say, all mana, 30%hp taken, and items used up depending on the item that is being enchanted. Said items will be valuable, like a cobblestone stack, or 25 redstone, 1 diamond, etc.
Enchanters will be able to equip all of what they can enchant, except for the armor above their equip level.
Enchanters will be a tier 4 class, branching like this,
Crafter>miner, gatherer, apothecarian>blacksmith, herblorist, alchemist>enchanter
Mage>Sorcerer>pyromancer, soulstealer, thunderbringer>enchanter
Mull over this sexy class. :D
