Not sure how to go about suggesting a View attachment 270258Lamia-inspired class item.
I'm thinking primarily a boost to melee damage, with a chance of a DoT effect like Plague has (because snake bitesView attachment 270257), but with much lower base potency, and possibly a bit of slowdown (neurotoxin). It could build in strength if the effect is re-applied (maybe refreshing it, or not).
Ability 1: maybe shooting a thin but fast venom projectile towards our cursor position? I'm thinking a yellow-green color, since green is common for poison, but snake venom images show a yellow hue.
Ability 2: I'm not sure. It could be a speed buff, or a boost to perception. Some sites mention that snakes have infrared or heat vision. That could also just be a higher-rank passive bonus though too, and maybe it's only active underground and/or at night. Alternatively, Ability 2 could improve the potency of the class's DoT(s). Utility would be nicer though, since the class would already have a chance of a DoT and a projectile primary ability that may or may not have its own, or just be guaranteed application of the chance effect.
I thought this up because while Plague is great, it's specifically a magic damage-boosting class. That and I'm on a poison kick lately. Being able to attack from far away as magic often does is always nice, but this idea could work for someone who wants envenomed melee weaponry, and scratching at enemies with claw is fun too. Some images of lamiae show them with claws, as well, even if all Terraria's version can do is run into people for contact damage.

Calling the class "Lamia" might be a little odd though, but probably no more than "Bonfire" or "Regen", and it's like the class name is saying the user has the powers of a lamia. That and there's the Werewolf class, so no biggie. That one's cool, too.
I'm gonna be honest, this might actually happen, i really like the idea.
I've been playing with a sort of "acid pool" projectile lately for something else, but i guess i could change it to fit this.
The only thing i need is a good name and some sort of quirk to make it different from the other classes.
