Poll - Why A New Class?

Sorry, it would be too different from the other classes. You kind of want all the players to feel the same, regardless what they pick.

 

Wow, you're contributing to this thread and seem to be pretty strong in your points. Could you write a perspective for me to add to the original thread?

 

via message or just a post?

 

Doesn't matter

Let me tell you a thing...

---

So I personally would like another class, but I don't think we need it. It clashes with the lore, and as you stated all playstyoes are taken. But, I have some things to say about that.

---

Firstly, the lore. This is the biggest thing standing in the way of adding another class, I think. As you said, all the lore speaks about the four classes of Wynn, Bobs lost soul requires the four weapons, etc. Adding new classes would really need changing of lore. That being said, it can be done, it just needs to be recognized.

---

It's the second point that I think everyone is stuck on. That all playstyles are covered. The thing is, I think that's actually why we need more classes. Each of our current classes is so broad, it does not really fill it's niche. Let me explain. Here is what we have:

Mage: Low health, low normal damage, high spell damage, healer
Archer: Low health, high normal damage, high attack speed, range
Warrior: High health, medium normal damage, crown control/AoE, tank, buffer
Assassin: low health, high normal damage, (intended at least) maneuverability, debuffer

Everything is covered, but everyone has things that they don't need to cover. See here:

Mage: take away heal, make another high damage spell, now it's purely a caster
Archer: fine how it is actually
Warrior: take away some of the crowd control/AoE, take away the party buffs, stack up health, now it's a tank
Assassin: take away debuffs, actually shove in maneuverability, increase health a tad bit, now it's an actual assassin

Then, we have the possibility for more classes. Things such as:

- A Cleric type thing that gets their mage's heal and warrior's buff, purely meant for party gameplay
- A Summoner type thing, since we don't have any summons
- A Shaman or Necromancer with the assassin's debuffs and warrior's crowd control/AoE, mainly meant for helping take down groups
- A Witch Doctor or something based around DoT and traps since we also lack that.

Now this is just a spitball idea, but my point is the fact that all gameplay types are covered is not so good. We have so many things mashed into 4 classes instead of spreading it out and focusing each class on a specific play style.

Okay. This poll is ALL about why there should or shouldn't be a new class and most of your points are depend on WHICH class they would add. You seem to be on both sides like I am, it would be really cool, but you know all the problems with it. I like how you address the problem and solve it. Could I mash all this into one paragraph and add it into the op?

 

Sure. All the class examples I gave were proof of concept. The main point was that if they made the current classes more specific instead of covering everything, they could add more classes.

 

For the new class we could have really cool axes, maybe a called a "Lumberjack" for non-donor and "Forester"(New word i just made up) for maybe a reskinned version of it exclusive to HERO ranks

 

Corkus was released less than a month ago

 

Wanna feel old?
Corkus isn't out yet

 

All of you guy's points are amazing, well thought out...

The idea of new classes comes down to one thing..

Why?

Will it increase gameplay options?
Will it add more things for the game to expand off?

I can go on forever, but the original classes are just a base. The things you can do with them, for example, speed archer, tank mage, tank warrior, glass-cannon assassin are classes in themselves.
If the Wynncraft team were to add a new class, they would have to add more items, change the lore, balance (nerf and buff a lot), but most of all, require heaps of ideas.
So, why not add more items to the game, and not make a new class? As I said before, the sub-classes (tank mage etc) can become expanded. Maybe one-day we'll have glass cannon mage (if thats not already a thing) or maybe tank archer!

Obviously there are many flaws in my opinion here, but the game will become a lot more interesting with more possibilities, millions more combinations and brand new ideas for builds if we had more items. A new class would change a lot of things, but make the game really interesting too!

All other opinions respected :)

 

With the new Corkus update, they add 1000 items or so. It still didn't change gameplay that much.

 

u get the point!

________________________________

wouldn't have 2 change a lore add it to a special secret corkus lore idk

 

But you come from Fruma, not Corkus

 

what if they made a quest where u can become a citizen of corkus and learn electro magic or engineering, etv

 

can't necropost
if you own the thread
*rollsafe*

 

probably unrelated:i want a class that can use a healing spell so we don't have to wait for one specific class

 

specify? is this a magic type class or what?
