This is my 3rd fantasy class (in like a week, wow) and I feel as if all the class ideas are taken, but I think I can squeeze 1 more in.

The Armological class is based on weaponry and agility. Its attacks are based chiefly on speed, but uses a patchwork of attributes. To illustrate:

Primary stat: Speed
Secondary: Piercing, strength
Tertiary: instinct, defense, vitality.

Its element could be a new grey element called steel, or for you purists it could be boring physical. I will use both interchangable, most likely. You can vote on which is better.

The weaponry used in this class is any 1- handed weapon. (uses primary and secondary.) I was also thinking that you could use all weapons for either spot, but they would have better stats when used as primary. tell me if this is a cool or stupid idea.

Some of this class' moves are used in other posts (rush on volcanological, tornado strike on cycological comments) but were intended for this class.

Lastly, I wanted to describe 2 builds i am basing this unit on.
Ninja: uses piercing, speed, and buffs to deal high damage and crits. Also has enough speed to dodge a fair share of attacks.
Berserk: Focused on strength, survivability, and recovery.

On to the moveset:

Starting moves:

Velocity Strike
Attacks the enemy for 200% of your speed and regenerates 8 focus.

Shuriken
CD: 3, Cost:30 focus

Active:

Rush
CD:4, Use: 2, Cost: 15 focus
Deals damage equal to 225/265/305% of your speed and applies the debuff "Crush" to the target, which decreases its damage output by 10/20/30% for 3 turns.

Blade Spin
CD:6, Use:1, Cost: 25 focus
Spins around 4/5/6 times, hitting the enemy for damage equal to 60/75/90% of your speed each time but applies the buff "Dizzy", which lowers your speed, piercing, and defense by 40/30/20% for 3 turns

I made it a one turn thing for a reason. It's your standard move and you use it almost every turn at lvl 1, so it doesn't apply a buff.

@t3hzb0t- I already have a passive speed increase and urs is too powerful. your 1st move is extremely overpowered... i'll fix for u. also crit chace + 100% doesn't make sense. + 30%? or make lvls?

Charge
CD:4, Use:2, Cost: 25 focus
Charge the target doing damage equal to 120/180/240/300% of your speed with a 30/45/60/75% chance to stun your enemy for 1/1/2/2 round/s. The enemy also takes 15/25/35/45% more damage during this.

Vapor cannon for hydros is a standard move and applies a 12 focus a turn for 3 turns buff.

And don't hydros already have a blood strike? No wait I think it was blood rush...

omg! that's good, but more than slightly overpowered. I know it'll come up, but 100 focus cost, high lvl, and high cooldown (The effects last half the time its cooling down.) do not justify this. Also... It does damage and dishes out 3 effects....

(And yes I am very fond of ellipses....)
