Good morning everyone. I've done some thinking over the last week or so and came up with a character that I am currently calling the Holy Man (I also named him Shaktis). So, take a look-see, I'm interested in whether or not people would be interested in playing as this character or what ideas they have that could tweak some of the skills. I purposely included a lot of game-changers in the skill trees, but see what you think.
I'd appreciate any and all feedback!
Shaktis came to Pandora in search of freedom from religious persecution. What he found instead was the Hyperion Corporation attempting to take total control of the planet, rendering it a far cry from what he was looking forward to. In order to satisfy his own desires for freedom, Shaktis has decided to take up arms against the Hyperion Corporation and rid Pandora of its newest oppressors.
Consecrate: Consecrates the land the player is currently standing on in a circle around him, using a 3 meter radius as a default. While standing on this consecrated land, the player and teammates deal +40% damage, +50% critical hit damage, +75% fire rate, take -25% damage and -50% effect duration. Any enemies who enter the area deal with -60% movement speed, +50% damage taken, -50% gun accuracy. Consecrate lasts 30 seconds with a 50 second cooldown.
