I would love for a Necromancer class now (used to say no in favour of skill line).

Although I don't think they will release one next year and will do something else for the expansion instead.

None

I don't want new class in 2018, but If they add one, then anything but not necromancer. You will ask me why and the answer is because.

I can understand that, I've always mained Necromancer in other mmo's and as I commented above honestly Sorcerer in this game is a combo between a Mage and a Necro

I think that the Necromancer stuff should be incorporated into another class rather than being a class unto itself.

I voted the Shaman archetype because it can bring in some different magic skills to the game and can be positioned as a strong healer class that can also include some necromancy as a related skill. This would be much in the same way that the Sorcerer class includes some Daedric summoning.

I am not in favor of the Studio's idea to make all their classes "like Warden" and somewhat role universal. I strongly believe that classes should not be balanced according to roles such that every class can fill every role and every purpose equally.

We are getting a lot of "magic user" skills across multiple classes in this game and they really need to start focusing on something different.

Strongly agreed. I personally don't think every class should be able to do everything...It just doesn't feel right. Some classes might be able to do 2 out of the 3 things but not all 3. DK can Tank and DPS, Templar should only be able to Tank and Heal but can do all 3, Warden can do everything but should be a tank and healer, Sorc should only be able to DPS and Heal but can do all 3. Nightblades I feel should only be able to Tank and DPS but I feel can do all 3. It adds variety in the game but tbh I don't like it. I mean I guess it being how it currently is allows people to play whatever they want in PvP but in PvE I feel like it should be more set in stone

Necro or some type of dark mage styled char (like a magblade)

Shaman or Monk, I am down for one those!

I can finally see what the Whispering Fang style is all about

No classes, an open skill system with "incompatible" skill exclusions.

You’re evidently trying to find parity here with Everquest, which is exactly the way you’re describing the classes.

Unfortunately, the layout of the game (currently) doesn’t support any more “support” characters. Warden was another catch-all, akin to the Templar pre-nerfs. Any other addition would just be another DPS, but the kind of balancing that it would entail would likely lead to a lot of negative feedback.

Everquest could get away with it because they started the game with a plethora of classes and supports. Supports were especially important (i.e. enchanters) because fights, and the game itself, was considerably more difficult. One add could mean a party wipe very easily. I think more classes and varying types of gameplay would fit into this game if the encounters were much more difficult. You would need more strategy than simply zerg damage, trials tanks just blocking, and healers healing via standard healing springs/extended rituals.

Oh, and in that game dying was a BIG deal. Lose a lot of experience, and you had to find a class nearby that could actually res. Sadly, games of that.difficulty (which developers don’t do anymore because they want to attract more casual players) are no where to be found. Simply making this game harder would make it very clear where the classes were unbalanced. It would cease to be just a gear grind, and most encounters would resemble VMOL than Fungal Grotto I.

THAT'S exactly what this game needs to move forward. Harder. Then you can talk about different classes and such. After the difficulty shows very clearly where the balance issues are, and many of the gear options would stand out as needing changes to make them more viable, then expanding on the structure is viable.

No new classes. Skill lines sure, classes no.

Necromancer should never be a class choice. How is Tharn going to make a necromancer out of us if it's a class and one we didn't choose. Unless of course they offered class change as well.

I was exactly going off Everquest, I loved that game...

Why not remove classes instead?

Then what kind of game would this be? Everyone would just run the best skills in game with BiS gear and then there's literally no diversity...I want more diversity...More classes. More gear..more skills. Not everyone run the exact same thing

None. Just add Spellcrafting and I'll make my own classes.

Add jewelry crafting

Necroshaman. AKA the class that the reachmen necromancers use.
