Whip Melee Stalker Edition (Mostly a Joke, but could be fun)

[Steampunkette]

All attacks are designated "Melee" but have a 15ft reach.

 

Tier 1) Corruption. Just take off the Ranged component.

Tier 2) Lash

Tier 3) Garrote (Hell on Earth Animation, functions as Assassin's Strike with a different name)

Tier 4) Build Up

Tier 5) Placate

Tier 6) Crack Whip

Tier 7) Burning Rage. Turns Lash and Corruption into Cones with 5 targets. Click that lasts 20 seconds.

Tier 8: Hellfire. Passive. Causes Corruption and Lash to sometimes spawn a flame patch for ticking damage on your target, Crack Whip to become a PBAoE with a 10 target cap.

Tier 9) Hellions. Click that causes next Garrote to spawn 5 flaming minions that have a damaging aura and follow you.

 

Burning Rage uses the animation for Blazing Aura. Hellions uses the Seishinteki Kyoyo animation. Both add flames in the same style as Demon Summoning for particle effects.

I think Whip Melee is actually a reasonable contender for a future powerset unlike many ideas posted here, so I wouldn’t even call it a joke. Don’t know about some of the special mechanics buried in there, but let’s do it.
