Librarian / Psyker class

[Plebeian Kilo]

Love what I've seen, but is there any confirmation we won't be able to play as a librarian or psyker? Is it too OP for this kind of game?

[Megapewpew]

The Deathwatch RPG does a good job making them not too overpowered, as well with drawbacks and it's lore accurate. Not everyone is the protagonist psyker in one of the books so they wont have to "nerf" psykers too much if at all.

Lore accurate Librarians are probably not going to happen here. I'd rather they make solid classes that are true to lore rather than make a watered down version of OP cool things. Maybe if the game takes off we could see special modes that would allow them in without invalidating other classes. Like dreadnaughts or terminators.

If they worked in Darktide and Deathwing, they can work here. We also have the shadow in the warp for lore reasons why they're not floating gods one shotting reality with their mind in the game, lol. There are Thousand Sons sorcerers in this game, we should be safe to have our own psyker.

techmarine would be cool too

[FlacidSnake]

if the game hits well, would be good additions to the class system. I'm hoping for a good apothecary/Tech marine class in the future, which would work well.

Would make the other classes redundant.

For real.

Unless they decided to seriously water the Librarian down.

None of the other classes will be lore-accurate either if they want any semblance of balance. Besides, not every freaking marine pysker is Gamma Plus. It's been done in RPGs and other games.

As someone else also mentioned, we're fighting the freaking Thousand Sons and the Tyranids, both who bend over other pyskers anway.

It would be incredibly easy to make even a strong pysker feel balanced against them. You're not going to out-pysker the Thousand Sons and the Shadow in the Warp is always a problem for pyskers.

To be honest i think Techmarine and Apothecaries are more probable coming

My two favorites. Sad they aren't already in though but I guess they are super special in the Ultramarines.

apothecaries and chaplains seem like perfect support classes. wwz also got several new classes later on so i would expect the same here

ehm, there are not any Librarians in Darktide. A Librarian is a Space Marine. Darktide has only human psykers

What he's saying is that pyskers capable of consistent, dependable battle are rare and typically far more powerful than your typical human, so pyskers in Darktide aren't really lore-accurate, but they're still in the game and balanced alongside non-pyskers.

Very little in most games or the RPG books are lore accurate, because they have to be a game and the lore itself doesn't know what it's doing or wants to do, i.e. the long running jokes about titans and what lasguns really are.

well, I see your point. Ordo Hereticus and the Adepta Sororitas see it too xD. To tell the truth, I main as a trigger-happy zealot (lol, Iknow, it's my own personal built but I like to shoot things first and then axe them screaming "FOR HIM ON TERRAAAAAA!!!") in Darktide but lots of times I've played with psykers that could clear an entire level alone, without any help.

We will be getting more classes/weapons to purchase as the game goes on. If I were to guess one of theses classes is probably first on the list to come.

I mean, Space Marine 1 ended up having dreadnoughts (sorta kinda) with Dreadnought Assault later in it's life. So you never know! Librarian/Sorcerer might be an option later, given some of the videos I've seen and the enemies we fight.

Terminators would be kinda cool. Perfect game and enemy to segway into a potential Space Hulk-esque mission etc.

Playing as a space wolf psyker sounds fun.

Though adding new classes when i have not even played the 6 that are already in the game... I think it is a bit early to be asking for more...

[Heroine Nisa]

I'd say don't count on it, but the devs did add new cool classes to WWZ, so that may happen. I'd personally love to see a Techmarine myself.
