Poll - Why A New Class?

The most important thing, which everyone is missing out, is that the four lasses we already have are the foundations of the gameplay, and are also important to lore;
Bob was famous for mastering all the classes, and they have been directly called "the four arts of WYNN"
Therefore, any additional classes should be special unlocks, maybe for completing the game with one class or something.
and they should be derived from a martial art of another province.

________________________________

i think that if there is a class added, it should be a martial art of another province E.G a necromancer from Dern, or a Paladin from Gavel, or a Druid from Bloomi
it should be a mix of meelee and ranged attacks, so for example a Druid can use both spears and staffs/wands, or a paladin which can uses both spears and bows, or a necromancer that can use both Daggers and staffs. I would make a seperate thread, but these things are suggested everyday. i do like the druid however, as far as i know it is original.

No idea, if you're talking about PvE or PvP, all of those fall into different categories.
You got ranges of attacking (just melee and ranged, self explanatory), then you have methods (stealth, magic and just regular), then you got roles which would be offense, defense and support. You could get fun with it and a buffer like an enchanter, or a vanguard class like paladin-but like, no.

Again, that's kinda miscategorized. Yeah, Knight and Barbarian fall into the same slot as "Warrior", basic melee classes with very little difference in their playstyles. But, Paladin/Crusader (same thing) are pretty much just a warrior class but warrior/cleric, a tank/support class. No idea why you bringing WoW into this, and rogue is the exact same thing as assassin, just less aggressive. I guess "arcanist" could fall under wizard/mage, makes sense-same with battle mage. Just kind of blurry since those 2 terms are usually meant for 50/50 mage-warrior.
Monk, almost similar to paladin/battle mage where you have your pure melee gameplay, but semi-reliant on skills. Only thing is the monk playstyle is pretty much in between fighter/rogue (warrior/assassin) and it would either be warrior-cleric (healing), warrior-mage (aggresive magic) or warrior-enchanter (buffs and debuffs).

This isn't an FPS though.

What about weapons, how would you determine what weapon this custom class would use, honestly, this sounds fun, but, but don't you think adding something like this would set in order to change the others? It would be a mess.

He's just adding pretty useful point that this thread was going to lead to anyway. You need the;

You could always just make another class with different origins, but with the current classes we have now, it's kind of a sense that we all come from the same place and that we're equals in the end-sounds as cheesy as Bob's lore. With a different backstory for an entirely different class, it basically be isolating them from the current four.

 

1) My point was that other than necromancer, there isn't much sense to bring anything else since the classes will be similar. If you brought any class mentioned in my post, you'd already have a similar class to it.
2) Didn't bring wow into this. Might have similar classes there, but I didn't mention wow with my post.
3)Arcanist isn't similar to battlemage. Arcanist is pure mana build, battlemage is warrior-wizard.

 

1. My bad
2. WoW, Demon Hunter
3. Arcanist is a tricky term, it's kind of battle mage, but less warrior.

 

I got demon hunter from diablo 3. It's similar to archer with difference of dual wielding crossbows.
Grim dawn classifies Arcanist as a wizard/mage, basically pure arcane build, so I accepted it like that. Battlemage is usually a combination of warrior+arcanist. It's same in tyranny and one another aRPG I can't remember the name off, so I just went with that.
Obviously nothing is set in stone and everything comes down to interpretation.

 

I'm on mobile ;-;

 

Summoner/Builder class

people we have the province of corkus; at this point we can just invent some bullshit weapon and make an engineer class or something

 

They will be terrible in Wynn

 

Lies, summoners are never terrible

 

SENTRIES

 

DRUIDS FROM BLOOMI PLEASE

 

Alright, I cant really debate this, but I still dont know how much a new class would fit. All that Im saying for now

 

thanks for the mention :D

I'm starting to suspect my idea isn't terrible and people are just making me feel bad.

 

Well, it's all about how people think. The criticism you receive for a suggestion is much a harsher than anywhere else here. People will tell you the suggestion is bad, because it isn't perfect. Now, I don't think any of my suggestions are perfect, except for Status Scoreboard and /speed remove. That's only because they're optional.

________________________________

Could I add your perspective into the original post?
Also having a druid from bloomi wouldn't make sense lorewise, unless they changed the tutorial.

What are we gonna do now, main Hanzo?

 

The summoned mob ai is one of the buggier things there is

 

Sure if you want to.

 

Yo, instead of having a new class and rewriting EVERYTHING from scratch. lets just add more spells to each class (not a shameless self-advertisement to my thread that you all already know about). This way, @SaltyPhox 's sheilder spells could be added to warrior and everyone will be happy

 

Corkus was just released a couple months ago and I feel like if there is going to be a new class it should be a Corkus class. Like Electro magic mage a spell could be stun where the spell stuns people for 3 seconds in a 3 by 3 or something maybe a 5 by 5. or something that has to do with elctromagic avos stuff or corkus engineering. I could make electro magic more descriptive but these are just cool new class ideas etc.

 

All the classes have similar magic, nothing element based (The mage has fire/ice spells but that's because it's a mage. It's not focused on a singular element). Again, this would just isolate the hypothetical new class from the rest. You want it to feel as it everyone is on equal ground.

 

can u dumb it down 4 me?
