I remember hearing that a group of Summoners could work together to summon a large golem/mob that would be helpful in siege type situations and this got my brain whirling. What kind of ability/skill would a group of specific "XYZ" classes have if a bunch of them got together to cast it?
Some of the classes probably wouldn't work together, or are more solo oriented. I also don't have 100% an idea what the specifics are for all of these classes, but just kind of winging it based on the name. When I was writing these all out I didn't want to write "for a short time" over and over so just assume that all the skills are for a limited amount of time and not a permanent thing.
Let me know if you can think of any cool ideas for "group class skills" that I might not have. Or if you think that a class I mentioned is something totally different than how I talked about it. Would be cool to see how everyone else perceives the classes based on the titles alone.
Side Note: This is just a fun thought thread and isn't meant to be taken super serious (aka balance wasn't the priority nor is this a feasible thing to have for every class).
Weapon Master (Fighter x Fighter): The Master's of the battlefield call out to their allies, granting their allies additional damage/accuracy for weapon based attacks when near a friendly Weapon Master.
