should SK have abilities? like a charge power where you can knockback your foe or push him or her back? or maybe a regenerate ability to recover a small amount of health overtime? maybe even a rage ability where your character is really powerful and can deal massive damage for a short amount of time? or a speed ability? where you can move very fast but when you take a hit your slowed down? these following abilities i think may be a good idea:

.Speed= doubles speed (includes sword)
.Rage= Triple attack power
.Charge= 35% chance of stun
.Regenerate 25%= recover 25% health
.Protector= Protect another player
.Power Up= Double attack power
.Prepare= Double defence power
.Battle Cry= Boosts all living party members attack and defence
.Cloak= allows the player to be in the shadows for a small amount of time
.Overdrive= makes the player unleash a flurry of attacks and finishes with a huge slam

i think some of these may be of use to us Spiral Knights but i highly doubt that OOO would do this...
all we can do is hope...

for general clockwork runs

for general clockwork runs these won't work but for pvp based games they may have some merit but need a lot of balance to make them viable

These basically exist already

These basically exist already in Lockdown.

Speed, Rage = Striker
Protector, Regenerate, Prepare, Battle Cry (sort of; defense only) = Guardian
Cloak = Recon

And Overdrive would be useless.

I should note that when I played it, Lockdown was surprisingly balanced in terms of classes. Could use a few tweaks, but these bonuses you listed are a bit much.

Oh!

This isn't actually a bad idea. I played CA, and they just released abilities a while ago. I find it cool, and it also makes the way to create a customised character so you can create a balanced team. You should only be able to equip about 3 abilities, and some aren't compatible with others.

Ya I kno trinkets usually do that, but then boost the trinket effects and keep these effects slightly lowered. Or make them have drawbacks. eg. +Speed -Defense or something........... Can't have ubertanking
