Guardian Of The Forest, Saltuarius ~Rooted Updated~

[(XBOX)Clayton Peace]

Saltuarius

“The Forest Guardian”

 

 

“Look Deep into Nature, for then you will understand everything better” - Albert Einstein

 

Idea:

The idea behind Saltuarius, The Forest Guardian is a little bit of Tanky Druid with a heavy does of Nature. He is good for a simple solo run, but he more geared towards a team effort with some decent armor and great vitality he is good for standing on his own, but shades his allies from the harshness of the weather.

 

Name:

The Latin word Saltuarius, meaning “Keeper of the Forest”. Themed around the idea of nature and vitality with a druid like ideal. Saltuarius was just a no brainier for the name.

3. Creeping Lichen – Saltuarius releases spores of Corrosive blighting lichen that will eat away at the enemies armor and slow their movements. Creating combat opening and weakening them at the same time.

I will be expanding on the Abilities here tomorrow when I get home, if you have Rank Scaling Suggestions for them or ideas to modify them please let me know. I will be adding the Rankings for them in the spoilers soon to come.

Cool concept kinda reminds me of hashiram senju like abilities lol. But yeah has great end game potential.

haha yea about that. That is where I got the name for the Ultimate ability. I based some of the ideas loosely off of him. Then I found Flora hahaha and I was just dumbfounded how we thought of similar things... like almost two sides of the same coin. 

 

But that aside, I like the playing of Frost and I like the playing of Oberon so I wanted to make a mish mash of them but I wanted a twist and I though ... plants would be cool... forest. I like forests, hmmmm who also uses forests... ahhhhh, then I went to town typing and came up with Saltuarius. He can take the hits and dish out the damage if need be and most of all he can keep the party sustained. If you have any ideas I am most certainly open to them.

i feel liked the base stats are really high.

 

both the hp and armor will be the highest in the game considering ash and zephyr have 450 which is the current highest and the highest armor currently is held by valkyr with 300. 450 is really ridiculous. and considering he still has more shield than valkyr i think the stats are pretty high. other than that the frame looks good :)

I will work on balancing that, I was looking at it for the support basis of the "Rooted" Ability, which would make him a pretty target not being able to move, and he gains none of those buffs. That is too the team, however, I felt the same way about them being a little. High, please thos you are the Veteran here if you have a suggest I would be all ears friend ^__^ honored you commented.

 

EDIT: Valkyr has a base armor value of 600.0 <_< not trying to be rude... just wanted to point that out

~UPDATE 3/5/15~

 

As I go through and flush out the powers I will continue to update the title add anything I have modified to the change log at the bottom of the OP and give small progress update posts like this one.

 

Thank you for your time looking at my Concept Fellow Tenno, Tell me what you think so far, give me ideas, Balancing issues, different abilities he could have. Let me know what you think about Ability Augment Mods he could have as well if you are all satisfied with the Abilities I have. Also please note that the details on the Abilities are just memory place holders for myself. They are in no way set in stone they are just there to Remind me what my train of thought was and to convey what the power can or could do.

 

Have a great night Tenno ^__^

still lookin' good! noticed a bit of a typo though! blightning should be spelled blighting, unless of course you mean lightning that carries a blight.
