Okay here's my idea for Illusionist v2.0:
Q - Swap between luger and the Scarab's Claw
M1 using luger - fire a bullet dealing <X> damage
M1 using Scarab Claw - fires a claw like projectile causing a life-link on the target (Explained below) and will break a life-link if one exists.
M2 - Sword attack (Renya has requested a combo system. May or may not actually do so.)
Space - Mirror Image Split (same physics as it stands now, may change the way damage is dealt to the Illusionist)
Life-link:
It's a simple concept. As long as you have line of sight and are in a certain range to your target your life values are linked.
Meaning if you were to take 15 points of damage, the person you are linked with takes 15 points of damage.
The same goes for healing, which is important for using this on allies. (Maybe, could make the Illusionist too much of a medibuddy)
Important note: you can NOT switch from the Scarab's Claw while you are linked to a target and maintain the link. If you want to life-link with someone, you have bound yourself to melee only.
