Forum:A third armor...

Ever see warhammer 40k? in it, a Space marine has two types of power armor: standard and Terminator. If we put in a third armour type with new heavy weapons specifically for this armor then it would add a new kind of play style. it could be called something like "Hoplite" or something as this armor would focus on soaking up damage and drawing monster's attacks towards it. it could have a passive "Taunt" ability which has a high chance of provoking enemies into combat against the wearer. Useful for supporting Gunners and HH users but it would also have a heavy weight so yes, only powerful attacks will knock you over but movement speed will be about the same as a lance or GS. It wouldnt be just defensive, weapons like a large pair of hammers or a two handed battleaxe ensure a high damage output. I know what you are thinking. Is it too much? Short answer: yes. To balance it out, all suits of this armor would have a negative elemental rating for almost all elements and the cost and materials would be vastly higher than Blademaster and Gunner armors. also there could be a certain stage ingame like a certain monster material needed to make the first suit, giving it a sense of exclusivity for new players. also there could be limits like only one or two each party so as not to make things too overpowered. However thats my point, it needs too be overpowered a little bit as it is the bridge between hunter and monster, clever yet powerful, high damage yet easily outmaneuvred by fast monsters like 'dromes. and if you dont like it, stick with a lance.

Any criticism or improvements would be appreciated!
