Prayer- The Class

[Pyrolikespie]

Well I have been thinking.. Warriors, Mages and Rangers are all classes.. why not those who use Prayer? I can't think of a good name but Priest or Monk sounds fine to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-What defines a class? It's about the way they fight. We'd need additional prayer spells, such as..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saradomin's Blessing- Negates the effects of all other prayers on you. But this drains your prayer very fast and you can not attack players or use other prayers while this is in effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthix's Balancing- lower or heal every player's hp in the area(multicombat) to make them all similar. This should cost at least 20-30 Prayer Points.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zamorak's Smiting- Damages a certain prayer and disallows them from using protection prayers such as Melee, Missle, and Magic. Saradomin's Blessing is not negated by this. 10-20 points or something

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I fear that if someone were to camp near an altar they could repeatedly use a spell like Guthix's Balancing or something and then recharge and repeat. This might be considered a strategical advantage by some rather than being unfair, as if you were to approach an altar in the wilderness where someone was doing this it's your fault for entering the wildy in the first place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also the skill might be strange as if it works the way I imagine it the Combat level system would have to be remade so that you can be prayer based and your level ups will effect your combat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another problem is that prayer would be levelled up by burying bones rather than using your skills in combat, so this might make it unfair or too hard. I don't know which, or what to say about it. >_>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Prayer was a class along with the other three I don't know if it would have advantages or disadvantages along with the others.. This could ruin Runescape if it was not done correctly so it mgiht have been better if it just worked like magic, being weak to Range and strong against Warriors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Another idea I had was healing 10-30% of your HP at the cost of all your prayer points or another player.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's all I have to say. Go ahead and criticize if you want, I was just thinking that this might be a cool idea.

I'm not intent on just up and flaming, yet there is not much I can say. The prayers you suggest might work well when integrated with the other combat modes, but I really don't think it would work well on standalone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, you do have an idea, but it needs work. Best of luck to you!

I agree with you, this could be a new breed of pure - lower combat skills but high prayer.

[sheepdean]

surely it would be best to simply make a tank - prayer pure?

[Hevendor_Guy]

It doesn't need a class. Not to mention Jagex would have to completely overhaul the combat formula, which I think is not worth the effort.

[drapit]

maybe too dynamic?

[dave0293]

i like the idea but seems to me prayer to powerful.

 

 

 

would it be F2P?
