Banshee: Class Concept (Sound Class)

Hi guys,
this will be a Wall of Text so if you aren't ready to read much, skip at this.


Lore:

I'm starting this Thread speaking about the Banshee, for who doesn't know what is, I'll make a little summary:

The Banshee is a Mythological creature of the Irish/Celtic folklore, a female spirit of a woman (Not really true for the "Woman", but we'll see after because), that use the "Voice" or her/his "Scream" for kill.
The Banshee is also called the White Reaper in much Mythological Text because when someone hear her/his"Voice" or "Scream" is going to die (Or could be died a family member) and frequently she is rapresented dressed in white.

Much people think that the Banshee is only a female spirit, but if search well, you can find that the Banshee could be male too, is the same Mythological creature, with same power, and same characteristics, is called too Banshee, but sometime you can read also "Farshee" or "Faer Sidhe".

So for who think that this would be a Female Class only, that demostraded that could be a male too, so don't worry about this.


Banshee Class:

Ok, let's talk about the Class.

This Concept is Based on the fact that normally the Banshee is rapresented like a Death Dealer, a fax-simile of the Grim-Reaper, infact is also called White-Reaper.


Redisegned Concept Art:

For begin, i'm showing you a simple image:



Ability:

The Weapon used by this Class is a Two-Handed Scythe, for connect to one of her/his name.

That Class is an Hybrid Melee DPS/Sound Class, that don't require the use of instruments for cast her/his Sound Spell.

The Banshee use the Sound that come from is Voice to Cast a moltitude of Spell, like Sound Wave DD that deal damage, Stun CC caused by the Noise, or Sound Barrier that reduce the damage taken, a "Sound Charge" like a little Sprint that come from behind produced by the Sound and the classic Speed Buff, related on the "Speed of Sound", infact with his Voice the Banshee could make himself and his group improve the Movement Speed at the "Speed of Sound" (Obviusly not the real one).

But apart some CC, DD and other "Caster-Like Spell" that come from the Voice, the majority of the damage come from his Scythe imbued with the Vibrations create with his Screams that make his Scythe stronger.

The Banshee could wear only Cloth Armor, but have a Self-Buff (A Sound Barrier) that reduce the damage taken.


Sound Graphic Effect:

The graphic effect of the Sound are a flux of repetitive grey circle that become progressivement bigger.

When the Banshee Cast a Spell:
With the hand that doesn't wield the Scythe, the Banshee take his "Flying Spirit-Head" in front of himself and "Scream" the Spells, while his neck continue to let out a "Shadow Smoke"


Conclusion:

I've choose the first Concept Art for this Banshee Class because is the most indicated for many reason:
- The Darker one
- The most Spectral
- The most usable for epic Casting/Combat Animations
- The only image that hit the true essence of the Banshee

This Class is one of the three Hybrids Sound-Class distributed on the three Realms and is the DPS one, the other two much probably will be other kinds of Hybrids.
