New classes? Or, more options...

Jougarnaut · Nov 25, 2019

Hi folks again!

Just as Dragon Warrior has 2 types of configuration (Berserk attack- Tank defense) I suggest that other classes have more flexibility, for example:

Hunter x Mercenary (bow beast with charge shot...)
Magician x Bishop (more heal for he and group...)
Mechanic x Engineer (guns, knife, bomb c4 timmer...)

And with that expand wisdom and add new skill

Please vote, and comment!!!

TY so much for read and to participate!

We've already talked about that in numerous threads.

Everyone can be more offensive or more defensive. The question is, is that viable?

And the answer is, it usually isn't.

If they added a subclass system (with 3 subclasses for every class), they would have to care for every subclass as they would for a whole class, so many of those builds could be at least a bit viable and would be made more interesting by subclass-specific skills and talents.
For example, mage could choose fire, lightning or ice element (each could be named nicely), and each would have different effects on the gameplay (fire=AoE oriented, lightning=single target oriented, ice=crowd control oriented). Ranger could go for a sniper (typical ranged bowman) or melee (blade fighting style), or some shaman sort with summoning etc.
Dwarf could go for a gunner or mechanic style, or for some melee fighter (bayonet, iron dwarf etc.). DK could go for berserker (2h oriented) or tank (1h+shield oriented) style, or for a dual-wielding style (would require dual wielding feature).

On top of that, at least two other classes would make sense, that is Priest of the Order and Jester.

Nope.

If we were to have new classes, those should be quite distinct and of course should fit in this game.
In my opinion, we have two such possible classes that would really be very interesting (because of the distinctness).

One is the Priest of the Order: low HP, a bunch of healing and supportive skills, a few slow but strong damage skills, a basic melee attack, very slow resource regen compensated by resource regenerating skills, most skills should be delayed.
The second one could be a bard/jester sort of class (not sure of the name), it would be tribute to jesters removed from the game. Since the jesters used "rune plates" (or something like this), they could be used here too. Supportive skills, runic traps, some illusions, some ranged attacks, some AoE destructive songs perhaps. While their last April Fool joke was seriously low-effort, they could use some of the ideas presented there, too.

Then, everything that is closely related to an existing class and has no real place in the game's lore, should be used as a subclass.
A shaman class based on Tayaz could be created... but Tayaz are very closely related to rangers, they even worship the same goddess.
A shaman class based on the Nords could be created... just like a Nord warrior class. If they make it distinct enough from the existing classes... then sure, why not.

The reason why I keep saying "skill tree" is that I think that we need more possibilities and some more available complexity in the gameplay with each class.
