New Perk Concept: Electromancer

So I got this idea while typing a response on a healing syringe thread. This concept offers some fresh gameplay ideas while staying grounded (no pun intended) in the somewhat-reality based environment of KF.

Keep in mind all of this is pure concept and the ammo expenditure and damage models would need to be balanced in line with the other perks. With the energy suit concept you are given special attack choices on full charge. Weapon damage models would need to be balanced keeping this in mind.

This class has level perks and weapons designed to give it a lot of utility between melee/ranged damage and healing. If you don't feel like healing while dealing damage you can skip over the healing based level bonus at 20.

Now that I've conceptualized the perk / class I think it would be a super cool addition (biased of course :cool: ) or something similar to it. Mostly based on real world weapons.


Perk Name: Electromancer

Equipment: Energy Suit , Electric based weaponry

Role: Focused DMG/ AOE DMG / AOE Heal / Crowd Control through stuns

Summary: This perk would have the options of playing more melee based or range based.

Energy Suit

What would be unique to this perk would be your energy suit that periodically recharges (30-45secs?). When the suit is fully charged you have usage options.
  1. Like a force lightning attack to where you can direct your energy in focused direction and the first target it hits takes the most damage and it chains off enemies in proximity with damage decreasing each time it is branched.
  2. Electrical overload. Sends out an energy spherical blast from around yourself.
  3. Chain Heal or AOE heal. You can expend your energy charge to heal all teammates in a 30m radius for 25 health or something along these lines.
  4. Phase Out - Go invisible for 5 seconds and can pass through Zed and player actors.

Passive Stats
+1% Electrical Damage per level

Weapons:

Knife Replacement: Handheld Stungun. Electrocutes zeds to death as you zap them. Adjust damage model match knife or put a recharge time on it.

Grenade: Electrical Stun Bomb

Grenade works similar to an EMP nade but dealing increased electrical damage while also stunning everything for 3 seconds in its radius.

T1: Electric Staff or Electric Whip

T2: Coil Gun

Clip size 8/ 40 capacity.

Impact damage to initial target with the electrical energy jumping in the radius. Think of it like an electrical grenade launcher. The electrical coils hit the target and explode on impact spreading to the zeds around.

This gun includes +12.5% chance to stun on impact.

Spoiler!



T3: Energy / Plasma Gun

300 Charge per battery. Can carry 3 batteries. Energy expended at 2 charge/second.

This would be similar to what Cyber used in the Matrix. Focused energy beam that deals constant damage to the focused target. Deals minor aoe damage around focus target as the electricity makes minor jumps.

Imagine its ammo / charge usage working similar to gas tanks on the flamethrower

Spoiler!



T4: Phase Cannon

Clip Size 20 bolts, capacity 100.

A powerful electrical bolt based weapon. Think of this is an electrical equivalent of the Husk gun / rail type gun.

Charged bolts are fired out that can pass through targets similar to the eviscerator blades. Bolts electrocutes initial target on impact.
