A Beast Tamer remake really should take in the gameplay of Beast Tamer and uphold to that gameplay style and improve it further while retaining the good aspects of why we love Beast Tamer. Lynn right now removes a lot of the fun aspects that Beast Tamer, Chase, has and removes most of the unique identity of Beast Tamer, Chase.
Choice of Playstyle:
Instead of forcing players to only use the bear as the main attack, have the option for players to choose between which animal they want to have as their main attack and add in a bear toggle attack where the bear attacks on a 2 seconds cooldown when the bear's main attack is not being used.
When that animal's attack is being used, then that same animal's toggle is disable for 2 seconds and only the other 2 animals' toggles can attack so that no matter the choice it ends up 1 main attack and 2 toggle attacks so that all 3 animals are attacking at the same time.
HAWK ATTACK: Something similar to how Attack Formation works, a rapid-fire type of attack that hits multiple monsters in very quick succession (also known as a hurricane type of skill).
WOLF ATTACK: Something similar to how Snow Leopard's attack works, the wolf will do a strike and if the player was holding down the forward arrow key when the attack was used, then Lynn will move slightly with each attack and if no arrow key was used then Lynn will remain stationary as the Wolf strikes forward.
All three animal attacks will upgrade further with the following job advancement(s) so that they are equal in power to each other.
Greatly Improve Lynn's Mobbing Playstyle / More Like How Beast Tamer, Chase, Plays:
The flight skill how it should be change:
~ No longer is a keydown.
~ Teleport backwards and up slightly, does a quick tornado blast attack, and you are placed into Flight for 30 seconds (thirty seconds) with full, unrestrictive free movement. Use skill again to exit flight early.
~ Cooldown of 15 seconds, cooldown begins immediately upon casting the skill.
While flying, the hawk's main hurricane-like attack will change into a large tornado around Lynn while the attack is held down, very similar to current Beast Tamer, Chase's tornado skill, but the damage retuned since there would no longer be a cooldown.
(Wolf and Bear attacks can be used still.)
The hawk's toggle attack will be changed to a skill that works exactly like Baby Bombers while flying, 4 projectiles that flying off at an angle to explode on either contact with a monster or they reach their maximum range, on a 2 seconds cooldown. 5th job Big Hawk enhances this further for the duration.
Big Hawk 5th job skill becomes Big Hawk or Big Bear, Big Bear is only active if Big Hawk is unavailable due to using the hawk's main attack.
Big Bear's attack would simply be do more damage, bigger area, and hit more monsters. While in flight the big and less big bear does a large roar attack around Lynn.
Improve Lynn's Mobility:
Hawk Dash:
~Recharge cooldown reduce to 2 seconds from 5 seconds.
~Add in a new toggle skill that let's the player increase the dash range further.
This will allow for a smooth gameplay while mobbing with having the dashes up for every respawn cycle of the monsters. It will also allow the dash to always be relied upon for boss fights, like a mage's teleport skill.
Bring back Beast Tamer's glide skill:
~When you use the vertical jump and still in the air, can use this skill again and hold it down, and as many time as you like, to glide in the air with your hawk. Hawk's toggle attack would be disabled while the glide is active.
~Add in a bonus active skill that let's you place the glide on a key, separate from the vertical jump. Can use a dedicate key, the vertical jump key, and/or a keyboard shortcut command to activate the glide.
Further Skill Improvements and Hyper Passives Changes:
Wolf Hyper Skill Active:
~Change to a skill where the wolf does a slice through attack and then leaves behind a purple lightning flame-like trail for 30 seconds that does damage per second, 30 seconds cooldown. (This is to bring back the blue flames of Snow Leopard.)
~If Lynn was holding down a forward arrow key when the attack was used, then she hops on the wolf and dashes with him.
~The purple lightning trail applies a party debuff for 15 seconds every time it attack a monster that causes attacks to gain +40% critical rate and +10% critical damage to the debuffed monster.
~The skill's direct damage is readjusted.
Barrier Hyper Skill Active:
~Cooldown reduce to 120 seconds, 40 seconds duration still.
~Prevent death cooldown will be 300 seconds.
This will really help Lynn with being that protector role and considering Champ Charge's Cat Tree is 30 seconds cooldown with a 10 seconds duration, why does this skill need to be a whopping 300 seconds cooldown.
5th Job's Overhealing into a Shield Skill:
~Reduce the cooldown to 120 seconds from 180 seconds.
Just to really cement Lynn as a protector support with being able to more reliably save her allies. Plus it keeps her as a true 120 seconds cooldown class this way.
The Only Party Buff Improvements:
~Add back +2 Attack Speed and Bonus Attack Speed Effect. (This will help Beast Tamers easily hit attack speed cap like how it currently is, and if we ever wanted to help new players train their legion this is an option as well.)
~4th Job upgrade also adds on +30 Weapon and Magic Attack. (Makes it more useful for mobbing this way.)
Hyper Passives Rework:
Frankly Lynn's current hyper passives are boring and uninteresting, and very much do not fit within the realm of a support character.
1. Dispel buff / Target heal / Party heal: +10 seconds duration.
2. Dispel buff / Target heal / Party heal: -10 seconds cooldown.
3. Dispel buff / Target heal / Party heal: Adds on an effect that causes affected party members to be immune to all knockback effects for 5 seconds upon the initial cast.
4. Party Buff: Adds on +35% increased healing from all sources for the entire party.
5. Party Buff: Increases by an additional +20 Weapon and Magic Attack for the entire party.
6. Party Buff: Increases by an additional +20% Ignore Enemy Defense for the entire party.
7. Bear Flames Summon: Now slows enemies on the flames by 60% and applies Untouchable debuff for 15 seconds.
8. Bird Dash: Increase maximum charges by +1 and gain +20% normal monster damage.
9. Wolf Debuff Attack: Increase debuff duration by +20 seconds.
