Thread: New Class - The Sentinel

The Sentinel -

The Sentinel is a Healing DPS Tank that can Buff and Support at the same time. He has three traitlines, however, the Sentinel has the unique ability to merge all his traits into one, with all the bonuses. Not only that, the Sentinel can make duplicates of his merged traits allowing him to stack his bonuses up to 6 times.
The Sentinel has a wide variety of skills that the player will use regularly in different situation. Some of the major skills are,

"Victory - Which gives the player a 100% Critical Chance and 200% attack damage. It also scales of the opponent's health, dealing 20% of it's maximum health".
"No Escape - This skill gives the Sentinel a region wide track. He can select a target anywhere in the region and teleport to it, instantly 1 shotting it and everything around it within 100 metres".
"No Surrender - The Sentinel heals up for 200% of his maximum health. Excess health is converted into a permanent bubble, this skill stacks 10 times".
"You Shall Not Pass - The Sentinel stuns up to 10 enemies in a 50m radius for up to 10 seconds. This skill has a 5 second cooldown and the stun is stackable".
"Hand of the Valar - The Sentinel absorbs all damage for 20 seconds and gains 50% runspeed".
"Stalwart Ally - This skill allows Sentinel to buff all his nearby allies for 20% extra morale, 30 less% attack duration, 50% more base damage and 20% more runspeed. This buff lasts for 24 hours and has a 7 second cooldown".

The Sentinel has the ability to use all 3 types of armour, all forms of weapons and has the unique ability to steal other players clothes and items. He can also choose to "skip" quests, whilst retaining the same XP and quest rewards. He can also set instances to "solo" so that he can get end game gear without interacted with other people, ever. Not only that, all travel locations are open to him at the start of the game and the Sentinel has the option to swift travel everywhere. However, the best feature the Sentinel has is his command over enemy NPCs. Upon approaching them, they will kill themselves for him, but he will get the XP and will be able to loot them. In PvMP, the Sentinel does not have to kill the Tyrant to flip the keep, he can simply fly into the flag room and flip it there. Whilst in the Ettenmoors, the Sentinel gains a unique buff which causes him to reflect 200% damage causing the 1 shotters to in-turn, 1 shot themselves making it unsafe for Creeps to AFK anywhere.

However, some of the best features the Sentinel has access too is the ability to fly, shoot through walls and ultimately, draft nearby players into his group. The players must do his bidding until he releases them from his service. They lose the ability to log out or leave the group, and if they displease the Sentinel, he has the option to "Execute" them, which breaks all their armour, weapons and sends them to the rez furthest away from his current position. They then have 10 minutes to rejoin him or he can ban them for 3 days. ultimately, this leads to the Sentinel's ability to pick fights with friendly players. If someone steals his mob, gets in his way or force emotes him, Sentinel does not have to stand and take it, he can start attacking them (without the spar option) and can even kill them. The enemy players cannot fight back and must simply accept they have displeased the Sentinel and must die.

Anyway, I hope you liked my class suggestion. If you have any constructive feedback or whatever, leave it here and I'll be sure to answer any questions. Thank you!

You have some pretty good ideas, ill give you that. But this class will never happen like it is right now. Why u ask? Well pretty much you've put guardian, champion, captain, warden and maybe hunter together. No class should ever have the ability to "control" other players, basically ur talking about a special ranger class (session play in moors) multiplying his power alot and make him run free and control other players. If this ever were to happen no one would play moors cause they're sick of being controled. You have a really good idea and i think if u take some stuff out and minus his abilities, it might actually happen. Once again, brilliant idea, just tone it down a lot. I can understand ur wanting to have a new class and if ur serious, more power to ya. I also have the dream of one of my classes (elf-lord and ringbearer) coming true...

It it possible to ban this guy from LoTRO? I honestly think he's either crazy or has the world's worst sense of humour.

EDIT: Or (as in earlier replies) is actually having a right laugh as we all believe he's being serious.

Yeah I read your post about the 'ring bearer' class so it does not at all surprise me that you found this thread to be serious and a somewhat feasible idea.

Well, I will admit, I'm not Orion when it comes to classes. I based the Sentinel after his changes to the Champion and Minstrel, especially the part about flying and controlling players.

Rofl! This thread is art! And it's ended up being a nice jab at the mindset of thinking you know "enough" about anything after a token glance...

I mean no offense by this post, so please don't take it the wrong way. Try applying for a GM, but other than that it would cost about 5 billion TP or more to buy. Even if this class were free, I wouldn't play it because it completely defeats every purpose of the game, and I want a challenge in it. I would probably stop playing the game if they made this class easily available.

Really? Over 40 posts in and you still fell for it?

HAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!! Best thread in WEEKS!!



THIS is why Democracy fails....

'Goose with the Golden Eggs' is enabled whenever the Sentinel consumes a pie. The Sentinel pulls down his/her pants, crouches and $#[7$ out a Worn Symbol of the Elder King.

This right here had my husband and I rolling with laughter. Well done for remembering the Legendary Trait!

Idiot.....Sentinel class has already been done.... its called a GM -_-

"The Sentinel is a Healing DPS Tank that can Buff and Support at the same time."

Plausible?

Adam and Jayme says: "Myth busted"

Seriouly, read that line again and again, it makes less and less sense every time.

If you can trick him into eating a bowl of Mithril Flakes he loses all his powers and is toast...

Not sure how well that'd work out...

Edit:



Old pic didn't work.

This class is of course based on ol' Tom himself and the starter area would be in the Old Forest. A few more skills...

• The Voice (for singing) - Puts anything within 100 meters to sleep.
• Crazy Legs (dancing) - Causes any creature within view to stop all aggression and start dancing until they collapse from exhaustion (drains all Power and Morale to 1 point each).

Haha great post + rep
