Here are some ideas I had for the guardian.


Shield Raid | Guardian Skill
Tier II

Throw the shield at the opponent for Moderate damage and High aggro increase

Shield Punish | Guardian Skill
Tier II

Can only be use after successfully using parry. Swing the shield at the opponent for high damage and stun them for 3 seconds

Shield Reflect | Guardian Skill
Tier II

Use the Shield to redirect physical and magical projectiles at the opponent, damage done is by half and they are also effected by the extra effects.

Vigilant Eye | Guardian Skill
Tier II

Becomes immune to critical hits for a short period of time

Fortified Will | Guardian Skill
Tier II

Recover from physical debuffs

[Lavinia]

Skill Name: Elemental Ray
Class: Summoner
Tier: Tier II
Description: The Summoner borrows the physical properties of a follower to fuel a energy ray attack. It fires a think laser aoe attack that hits an individual target or a area on the ground. If used on 3 or more targets this spell will deal more damage than it's single target Energy Bolt counterpart. Weakens the summon that the power was borrowed from for 15 seconds. Has a moderate MP cost. Has a cast time of 4 second cooldown of 30 seconds.

Skill Name: Elemental Blast
Class: Summoner
Tier: Tier I
Description: The Summoner borrows the physical properties of a follower to fuel a series of energy blast attacks. This fires a series of weak but fast moving energy blasts based on the summon the power was borrowed from. Due to it's low mana cost and fast cooldown this spell is best used as a filler attack while waiting for the other more power spells to become available. At level 30 this spell only fires one energy blast then at 60 it will fire two and at 90 will fire three. Weakens the summon that the power was borrowed from for 2 seconds. It has a cast time of 0.5 seconds and a cooldown of 3 seconds.

Skill Name: Elemental imbue
Class: Summoner
Tier: Tier I
Description: The Summoner borrows the physical properties of a follower to imbue their weapon or weapons with that element. Weakens the summon that the power was borrowed from for 15 seconds. When an enemy is hit with a imbued weapon they take physical based on the weapon and elemental damage based on the element imbued. It has a cast time of 0.5 seconds, a cooldown of 5 seconds and requires a small amount of mana I maintain the imbue effect.

Elemental release could be combined with Elemental Imbue if to underwhelming.

Skill Name: Elemental release
Class: Summoner
Tier: Tier III
Description: The Summoner borrows the physical properties of their weapon imbue to unleash a special attack. Weakens the elemental properties of that weapon for 5 seconds. It has a cast time of 0.5 seconds, a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Fire: Fire Dot on next strike + fire damage

Ice: Slow effect on next strike + ice damage

Lightning: short stun effect + lightning damage

Earth: same as above I guess + Earth Damage

Wind: Knock back on strike + Wind Damage

Water: Dont know lol + Water Damage

Darkness: some sort of mind debuff + Darkness Damage

Light: Fires a wave of light to hit a single target, if ally heals them, if enemy deals light damage

Rough ideas, Elemental Release is meant to be used along side Elemental Imbue as a sort of combo, take them for what they are worth.  I just like the idea of a Summoner that can do some melee damage if necessary.

[Scoria]

Skill Name: Empathy
Class: Courtesan
Tier: idk Level 41+?
Description: The Courtesan is one who manipulates the emotions and moods of those around him. While an Animal Tamer may be able to make mobs see them in a better light, the Courtesan passively does the same for all Sentient beings, although that will not prevent Sentient mobs from assaulting a Courtesan. Further, they are able to toggle this skill to monitor the 'moods' of those around him. One could tell if someone is hostile at a glance, wary, friendly, and the like. Naturally, this is far more effective on non-Adventurers, and some Adventurers even consider the use of this skill an extreme invasion of their own privacy. Those that know about it, anyway.

0,0) several ideas for crafting subclass skills

Alchemist

Isolation sphere - Handy skill for alchemist to seclude an element or specific mana into a sphere. The sphere is controllable and can float on max 4 feet around the Alchemist.

[Caligula]

Skill Name: Asura Barrier
Class: Shaman
Tier: Tier II
Description: An offensive barrier that can explode at the users whim, doing moderate damage. This is done by creating a barrier with surplus energy and then later giving it an unstable structure. This structure is stable enough for it to retain a shape and not go off without the user choosing to do so. This also has its downsides, as it is technically a barrier, its an attack that can be "broken" by hitting it repeatedly with attacks, however it has the advantage by being able to be controlled by the users will. This skill has an a 3 second cast-time, indefinite duration but a long cooldown. As the user Tiers up the damage and number of barriers one can create increases.

Skill Name: Manifested Buddha
Class: Shaman
Tier: Tier II
Description: Toggle skill. This barrier takes the form of the upper half a large Buddha with two arms and 2 forearms on every arm, it has a face and body-type that varies from user to user and an aura that forms a cloak. Before the catastrophe it merely boosted ones block rate using its appendages to block attacks, being merely cool to look at. In this form because it only defended in line of sight and had a high MP cost it was rated low and unpopular. However after the catastrophe, just as the Shikigami shares its senses with the Shaman, the giant Buddha shares its movements with the Shaman, causing renewed interest in offensive capabilities. With every tier up it can become larger and gains two more arms, these arms merely assist the two primary arms however.

Note: Each of these skills is based on Buddhist, Hindu and Shinto stories in order to keep with the theme of shamans, except for the first which is simply a controlled mistake. For those interested, the second is based on how the Asura are said to be the protectors of the Buddha.

I'll be posting a third. The third that is based on how the Buddha punished Sun-Wu-Kong, the monkey king, by dropping a mountain on him for causing problems in heaven.

Skill Name:
Mountain Tantra Sealing
Class: Shaman

Tier: Tier II

Description: The user will slam their palm against a target. Upon doing so four kanji appear above, to the sides and below the hand. The kanji vary from person to person and use to use. However the user will then focus energy upon the marked individual causing nearby stones to fly to their direction first attaching to the space between the kanji and be stuck there, then elsewhere. The stones do not move at all unless pushed, and they do not fall unless "peeled" off. They do light earth damage upon impact. The stones will continue to hit the target for as long as they focus upon them, slowly draining the users MP, but this skill ends immediately after the user stops. The unique upsides to this spell is that it doesn't activate until the user focuses on them and can even be used on targets in the air.

[Scoria]

Skill Name: Hall of the Moon
Class: Druid
Tier: 3
Description: The Druid's alternative to Court of the Sun, Hall of the Moon shifts the balance of nature in the surrounding area. Naturally, the limits of this skill dictate that it must be cast in view of the sky and between dusk and dawn. When this skill is performed, an area of 50 meters surrounding the druid will experience cascading pale moonlight, simultaneously providing a small source of gentle light and drawing the entire area into greater darkness. This boundary remains stationary even if the druid should move. While standing in this area, the temperature will feel as though it were 5 degrees C (~9 degrees F) cooler. Enemies weak to ice, water, or darkness will be lightly slowed and suffer a minor accuracy debuff. Additionally, ice, water, and darkness skills have their area of effect and duration increased greatly. The effect of Hall of the Moon lasts for 10 minutes. It has a casting time of 10 seconds and a cooldown time of 30 minutes.


- Basically a Court of the Sun counterpart. Promotes 'zone control' over the high speed that Court of the Sun promotes. It's tricksy and such, whereas Court of the Sun is a more 'blast them away' sorta thing. I would really encourage Ice, Water, and Darkness, because it fits thematically and I think the effects are slightly weaker here in comparison to Court of the Sun. K. Yeah.

[rexxar]

Skill Name: Split Soul
Class: Assassin
Tier: Tier 2
Description The assassin makes a second copy of himself this copy takes half the Hp, damage, Mana, ect. And can attack two different enemies (1 form attacks 1 monster another attacks another.) You can put yourself together earlier, if so combine the leftover hp from your second form to your current hp.

[Franny Stein]

Skill Name: Soul Reaping
Class: Summoner
Tier: Tier 1, requires an active undead minion.
Action: Toggle-type, minute and a half long deactivation cooldown.
Cost: .5% max HP Drain per second.
Description: An iconic build defining skill for “Necromancer-Type” Summoners. When targets are slain in the character’s vicinity, excess anima will be gathered into up to five shimmering blue ghost flames around the summoner’s person. Each Will-O-Wisp provides negligent light in darkness but their primary use is for consumption. When the skill is detoggled, wisps are detonated to provide pulses of HP and MP refresh to party members based upon 10% of the original victim’s values. In the case of there being multiple wounded, the spell will always prioritize the summoner before spilling over to those with the lowest health. Due to the 5 wisp limit, excess orbs will always be detonated for their effect regardless of timing which helps to make this skill popular. Representing a gamble intrinsic to the classic Necromancer style of snowballing upon the enemy’s numbers, there is a risk in miscalculating its use in a battle of attrition. Even so, the skill has proven very popular for its ability to sustain larger numbers of forces so long as one remains aggressive. Though this spell is popular for its thematics, it is a notorious aggro magnet and an obvious beacon of vulnerability for enemy players.



I'm worried this description might be too long. The wisps providing small amounts of light is actually meant to be a disadvantage by revealing your location and making it very obvious that you are draining out your own hp. With the way this works, 1% hp per second may make this more balanced, though yours truly is bad with math. The general idea is there though: a necromancer sustaining their forces and supporting their party through marching over the enemy. In light of the calamity, I imagine this spell probably won't make one too popular among The People of the Land.

Honey, have I got suggestions for you! Now instead of just copy + pasting the myriad of skills from the variety of places I have found them, I shall instead post the links 'to' them here for everyone to skim through. That being said, if they/you all want me to go and hand pick skills and throw them up here, I do not mind, it's a bit of lengthy work but I'd be more than happy to help out. I love the idea of filling out the skills/spells of the classes and heck a lot of these links also contain professions which can be utilized to make even the subclasses more robust.  Without further ado, here's the links!

Slayers (Lina Inverse woot woot!)
Final Fantasy: ARR (MMO, for all classes including spell casters and martial weapon users!)
Guild Wars 2 (Their skills are all weapon based, so click on a weapon and see the variety of skills they can pull off!)
City of Heroes (It's an older MMO and more geared towards sci-fi rather than fantasy, BUT they do have magic, elemental attacks, summonings, shield attacks, swords and martial arts and other misc that can be skimmed through)
Dragon Nest (It's a lil MMO but hey, look! More skills! :D)
World of Warcraft ( I know, it's one of the oldest and well known MMO's, which has a variety of classes so why don't we use what's already given?)

If you need any help or would like me to start compiling the various skills, then please let me know. :3

Skill Name: Senpai will never notice you (Disordered Barrier is the technical name)

The barrier lasts for 1 second, has a casting time of 2 seconds and a cooldown of 20 seconds. The Heretic is also unable to cast spells/attack while under the effect of ethereal barrier.

[Sophora]

Skill Name: Double Dance
Class: Swashbuckler
Tier: Tier I
Description: First the Swashbuckler dashes forward to close in on the enemy, and with all of their strength they knock the enemy back with their weapon by either a parry stance with one weapon or an X motion with duel weapons. The blade faces the enemy when used in the knock back so the monster takes damage as well as a slow affliction that lasts for 10 seconds. Depending on the weapon used the monster is knocked back 5 meters with one weapon and 10 meters for duel wielders. This is highly useful for biding time, running away, and impairing the enemy.

I noticed the lack of a lot of barriers for the Shaman class. Basically only three real 'barrier' skills at tier one, which I found to be a little sad, since most of them were either about compounding and/or modifying said barriers and only one of the was about pure damage mitigation, IE what is one of the main draws of the class. Also could we get the name "Damage Interception" changed to something that sounds more like a name of a spell instead of just a description? Like... Protective Barrier or Purification Barrier? I am also noticing some of the noted skills aren't present there, which has me wondering why not.

Anyways! Here's some suggestions for the Shaman class! I hope you like them. Some of these have been taken directly from the official Log Horizon TRPG book.

Shaman

Name: Guardian Barrier
Type: Defensive Magic - Multiple Allies/Self
Tier: III

All are Enchanter skills.

Astral Rage
Tier II Skill
The Enchanter picks a point on the ground, upon a successful cast any non party member within a 4 meter radius will receive the enraged debuff. This debuff causes monsters to attack more hastily drastically lowering their hit change leaving them open for easy counter attacks. While adventures/landers under this effect will feel a burning rage at the party members of the enchanter perhaps causing them to make foolish choices or to make mistakes. This skill has a casting time of 2 seconds, a duration of 30 seconds and a cooldown of 45 seconds.

Astral Fear
Tier II Skill
The Enchanter picks a point on the ground, upon a successful cast any non party member within a 4 meter radius will receive the fear debuff. While monsters under the rank of field boss will flee in terror of the party for the effects duration, adventures and landers will perhaps feel compelled to flee themselves or experience a lack of resolve to face the enchanter's party. This skill has a casting time of 2 seconds, a duration of 30 seconds for monsters 15 seconds for adventures/landers and a cooldown of 30 seconds.

Ethereal binding chains
Tier III Skill
The Enchanter picks a point on the ground, upon a successful cast any enemy, party member or even the enchanter within a 4 meter radius will become chained to the ground by a pure white chain. Almost unbreakable by those under it's effect this skill binds anyone in the radius for 5 seconds, once this expires those within the radius have 1 second to escape the radius or they will be bound again for another 5 seconds. This skill has a casting time of 5 seconds, a duration of 11 seconds and a cooldown of 60 seconds.

Ethereal Image
Tier III Skill
The enchanter selects a friendly target and upon completion a clone made from raw magic energy is created. This clone is physically identical to the target in every way, voice, scent and so forth, but they lack the memories of their target and therefor personalities. This also includes the item level of their equipment they had equipped at the time, but reforges are not carried over. This clone is unable to access skills of any type and only has access to the auto attack skill. Under normal circumstances this clone acts in a similar manner to a Summoner's minion, it requires a constant large upkeep of MP to be sustained and acts under orders of the target, not the enchanter. It also has a duration of 20 seconds in this state, after that duration is up it is desummoned or desummoned early if the enchanter can not maintain the MP upkeep required. Under a special circumstance this spell can be paired with Mana Trance, the Enchanter will enter a trance like state that would allow him or her to control the clone as if it was their own body, while their actual body would be disabled and unable to act for as long as the trance is maintained. The MP that would normally be given with Mana Trance now goes to fueling the clone, giving it a much extended duration. This skill has a casting time of 5 seconds and a cooldown of 60 seconds.

Ethereal Port
Tier II Skill
This spell has several names like "Noob Saver" or "Trollport" from when Elder take was still a game. Before the catastrophe this skill was used primarily to harass party members by dropping them off cliffs or to save new players from standing in dangerous area of effect spells, now it actually can save a healers life or save someone from a trap. Ethereal Tug instantly teleports a friendly target of the enchanters choosing to their side if that target is within 10 meters. This skill has a casting time of 1 seconds, and a cooldown of 60 seconds.

[Kaytina]

Skill Name: Holy Shield
Class: Cleric
Tier: 2
Description: Passive skill that allows a cleric to use their wielded shield as a somewhat useful melee weapon. The shield glows bright white when bashed into the enemy. Attack power is based on the shield's magic defense stat. Attack ignores enemy defenses.

This is a skill used by a character who specializes in it and will appear in the anime a little later down the road.

[Tyonis]

Skill Name: Ace Move: Rairyusen (Lightning Dragon Flash)
Class: Samurai
Tier: 2
Description: Chain X. Reverts Chain to 0 after use. The Samurai focuses his Ki into the length of his blade and releases it in the form of an explosion of light that generates threat and inflicts Blind on all targets within three meters. The amount of additional threat and the potency and duration of the Blind are determined by how many Chains consumed vs the target's level. This Skill is typically used to secure threat during the opening phases of a boss battle and to help mitigate an enemy's auto-attack damage. As a consequence of Elder Tale becoming real, the bright animation also now serves as a possible AoE Stun, like a flash grenade would in real life. This Skill has an animation time of 2 seconds and a cooldown of 30 seconds.

[Murasaki]

Note we're also looking for a lot more Subclass skills. The core skills in all Tier I-II lists are essentially all finished, so we'll still accept skills but might adjust based on demand.

[Haneroze]

A common demand for Shamans is more Shields that aim to reduce the damage. I would suggest looking at the Feca in Dofus and Wakfu for some inspiration (They've just done an overhaul on Dofus too, it's worth giving another look if it was already done).

Anyway, you want some Subclass skills? I decided to do a package for our highest level subclass. It may inspire you for other Craft subclasses too. So here goes! I'll keep editting until someone else posts.
