The (Much?) Wanted Dragoon Class.
#1
Hello friends. This is Tori here with a lovely suggestion that I am sure many people would like to see. Duelist is able to use pole-arms,but lacks a pole-arm using (without talents, traits, otherclasses---etc.) promotion. There is infact, a really noticable lack in Light-Armor focused and polearm focused classes, so I decided to design a Duelist Promotion with specialization in both of these factors.

I think it's lacking a few skills here and there, but it's a nice base outline, enough that people can hopefully get the general idea of the class.

PROS
Master of Polearms and Light Armor
Great range, Hit-rate and critical rate
Versatility in being either a heavy hitter, tank; or dodge-machine.
Makes running CEL and DEF in the same build, viable.
Doesn't really get as crippled as other melee fighters by immobilize, due to range of polearms.
Synergy with either a more evasive or defensive class.

CONS
Most it's skills have an evasion-check, and lacks any real autohits save for support skills.
Have to manage Fluidity as an extra resource to maximize the effects of several skills.
To get the most out of the class, you're stuck using polearms and Light armor, as well as having the manage your stats strictly.
Most of it's defensive utility gets shut-down by AOEs.
High FP cost for melee skills.
Probably not a good class to run with Magic.
