As of now, a 6th character DLC has been confirmed (dont quote me on that) and here is my idea for a character that I would very much like to play as. Im open for ideas, opinions and criticism.
Ive noticed during my experience playing BL2 that there arent any skills that boost and help the team other than Mayas harmony tree with the restoration and elated skills, so I came up with a class idea focused on team play.
Introducing Brad as the Paladin
Action Skill: Unity
A team buffer that starts with a damage reduction of 25% and can have more effects added in different skill trees. The skill doesnt have an AoE and will buff the player as well. This could also include DT and Axtons turrets. 15 sec duration and a 40 sec cooldown.
There could be an *epic fist pump* animation and a cool light explosion every time the skill is used.
Melee Weapon
A giant two handed sword
Skill Tree 1: Revolutionist
This tree could focus on leadership abilities and utility teambuffs
Skills:
Stockpile: a constant aura that only gives ammo regen to teammates, no rockets or grenades
Focus: recoil reduction and accuracy added to Unity
Treasure Hunter: increases odds of finding better loot, you know you want it
Influential: cool down regen aura that only works for teammates
Wing Man: +3% to all stats for every player next to the player for only other players, confusing yes
Double Fist Pump: can use Unity twice per cooldown, tear 6 skill
Rally: increases the duration of Unity
Repulsion: when activating Unity, knock back all hostiles
Solar Powered: shields have increased recharge rate and lower delay during the day
Stamped: running into an enemy gives them any negative status effects you have, also works with tackle
Futurist: increases elemental status effect time on opponents an decreases time on you, works with stamped
Skill Tree 2: Prowess
Could focus on combat and DPS teambuffs
Skills:
Tackle: sprinting and jumping into enemies will knock them down
Dead Mans hand: when you are down all your remaining grenades are dropped
Battle Cry: a damage and fire rate teamboost for Unity
Bloodlust: kill skill that grants regen to player
Blitz: Unity adds movement speed and a shade more damage resistance
Loudmouth: cool down for Unity
Rebel: increase damage for player
Firebat: increase fire damage
Payback: after taking damage you gain a damage boost
Charge: shoot while sprinting and no accuracy penalty for jumping, works with tackle
Gun Kada: very fast reloads and improved accuracy
Smite: added melee damage, with a little health regen
All In: a constant aura giving the player and teammates a 25% damage, recoil reduction, bullet velocity and accuracy bonus, tear 6, seems OP
Skill Tree 3: Field Medic
Survivability and health and shield buffs
Skills:
Toughness: health boost
Stunt Man: explosive damage resistance
Adrenaline Rush: adds movement speed and regen to Unity, can run with blitz
STAT: from BL1 except it restores half of every ones health and shields when Unity is used
No Man Left Behind: a tear 6 skill that revives everyone with Unity, this seams way to OP though
I Am Ironman: immune to knockback and a shield boost
Mr. Apocalypse: health regen up to 5% per sec after 12 sec of no damage, 1% per level
Renaissance Man: a little better at everything,
Energize: everyones bonus shield effects are shared when inside player aura, possible tear 5 or 6
Innovator: Unity adds the lowest health and shield rating of the players to everybody for its duration, possible tear 6 skill
Story: The Previous president of Hyperion has feared that Hansom Jack would attempt to assassinate him so he put our player in charge of dealing with Jack. Brad and his squad where deployed to Pandora in peruse of jack. They inevitably are lured into a trap and the player is the only one who survives. He now wants to avenge his team and the recently deceased formal president of Hyperion. This was inspired by Chris Redfield from the RE franchise (poor Chris).
Just something about Paladins that are so badass.
