A new class would definitely extend the lifespan of the game for me. I have no doubt they will probably add a few new classes before too long to keep the get game 'exciting' for the player base.
Right now, I have the class builds I want to play filling 7 of the possible 8 slots. I am actually saving that last slot for build experiments or a new class when they make one.
I wouldn't mind seeing something like an un-armed monk style. I wouldn't want them to be Faction specific. If you make something Faction specific, you have to make three, each one being almost identical to the others. If you make one new class, and make it playable to each faction and all character types. That would be better imo. I think the Monk style would be cool. Make it with lots of boosts to speed and high crit. I think it would be a medium armor class with high burst damage and quick speeds, Stamina regeneration bonuses would be a must have.
Yeah, a viable stamina class would be awesome... monk. Wouldn't mind seeing a shaman/druid caster class of some kind too with spirits or animal magic lines.
I would like to see a Trapper class; one skill line to trap/train beasts from the world, one with traps/ranged bolus/net, and a line of close up dagger skills.
I'd love to have the monk spec I ran in DDO here. Moderate dps but nothing ever hit me. I wouldn't even need gear! I would watch a group of 5 die to mobs and I would clear the area and rez them after.
Such a spec would absolutely kill pvp though and I would not want that. Better to roll a DK and have everything hit me while I kill them....
I would rather see them open up all the skill lines for all classes to play. Thus destroying this "class" thing. This would add a far longer lifespan to anyone's game then just adding another class.
Refund of skill points would be necessary, one time thing per character that was created before X date.
I like some of the class ideas but what if there were 3 new classes that were faction specific. Something to keep each faction apart from each other and turning into a cookie cutter.
Just a spoonful of moon sugar helps the medicine go down.
if not new classes, extentions to current ones. Like adding a few elements to dragon knight. We know there are ice dragons and thunder dragons, but only fire dragon knights. I want to be an ice dragon knight.
