[Class Mod] Martyr

$

===============================

“Let me suffer for your Sins.”
Martyr vows to endure the pain and suffering to comfort all others. His body, torn and bleed from the holy signs. Bearing chains and device of self-torture, he walks the Earth, seeking to repent the world for its sins.

Martyr is a front line tank and healer. His large HP allows him to take some punishment. His healing skills are some of the best. However, they do come with cost, and usually at his own health or stress. He is also not a strong fighter. While exceptional against Unholy, he has relative very low damage dealing capabilities. He does support well with some heavy backline damage dealers (like Cannoneer)

Skills (short descriptions) ===============================

-Touch of Judgment: Front melee attack. Deal more damage to unholy.
-Hand of Rapture: Range multi attacks. Also clear corpse
-Blood of Martyr: Strong healing to a target, but at health cost to yourself.
-Bearer of Sin: Cure all ailment from a target, but stunt yourself.
-Sign of Stigma: Strong self healing at cost of stress.
-Lazarus Gift: Gain a riposte where every time you are hit, you heal other in the party for a small amount.
-Iron Shroud: Become Impenetrable. Increase your own Defense.

Designer Diary ===============================

Aww.. trying to finish this for the Easter weekend… a good fitting theme, I think. :)
This is a quicker job. Got the idea first from another post suggesting that the game need a front line healer. After several brainstorm ideas, the old Martyr idea surface again, and feel could fit well with the Abomination’s base model.

Graphic wise, a basic head swap change. But also added the “sign” on his hand for the favor. While didn’t do too much change, do feel it still look fitting.
However, some of the skills’ FX are a bit trickyer than expected. Wasn’t able to get some of the look and feel for it as I want. Oh well.

For design of skills, they are just base of trade offs for self and other’s healing, and stress. Would like feed backs on the balances.

Well, anyhow, comments and feed back welcome. Thank you.
