Future classes or archetypes?

[NF_Crenos]

I got a big problem with the game: I don't like the feel of nearly any of the skills or classes, lmao.
That is my problem, of course. Nothing wrong with what's in the game. Just my tastes not aligning. So I just start imagining potential future classes they might introduce, even though that might be insultingly early towards the devs.

I'm hoping for a Monk class. Can use staves as close combat weapons, and Dex and Attunement seem appropriate as main stats.
Theme-wise, Monks got martial arts and spiritual/magical arts. Think kamehamehas, just small ones. And some interesting self-buffing.
Some skills from the Soulfist class from Lost Ark might work as a visual example of what I mean.
What do you think?

i would ask for new classes, nothing wrong with monks i believe they are really cool but i would want to see something new, like jester or cannoneer, something that we dont usually see on other games, GD for example has the witch hunter

grabbing some ideas from lost ark could be really fun, a super sayan class would be pretty fun, like black desert online brought some really cool idea for classes too

i feel like we have so much of the same for so long, we could see different stuff to shake things up a bit, falconeer was a step in the right direction, that class came right from lost ark and its really fun to play

[DeiGratia]

I'd rather them rework some like forge guard, add skills missing, tweak some of the really old skills to be more in line w/newer.
Also finish story and add endgame content. Hopefully get the cycles up and running. For the moment all its really for is leaderboard and economy refresh

It'll be a long time before they add another class.

I like the leveling in this game and all the progression, I want more classes. Ive actually found most of the traditional builds play well on the few classes ive played to endgame thus far.

I think adding new and interesting classes would be great. Along with some form of secondary endgame grind mechanic.

I do hear some of the specializations need a second pass and im like 99% sure ive not played those yet.

I want a scientist;) he can be developed to chemical guy...with flamethrower skill xD corrosive stuff, nuclearstuff etc ..or biologist^^ with virus like the Coropocha Virus xD or the physicist, who can use..eh..whatever they use xD

[Elseworlds]

+1 for monk. The Wardancer and Soulfist in Lost Ark were awesome, but it was Lost Ark. We all know how terrible that game turned out. Just steal their classes, it's the only thing they got right.

I feel like you could do some kind of plague doctor / mad scientist / alchemist class that involved the throwing of lots of interesting glass bottles to certain effect. Maybe the mad scientist could toss a bottle that spawned a creation minion

Nuclear technician that could have turrets and mechs, maybe the summons could detonate on death and leave a radioactive haze that lowered armor or something

They should rebalance the current classes before they start working on new ones.

no details on which class and how?

[tankanidis]

BeastMaster needs a buff, the pet dying and needs to be rezzed mechanic needs to be looked at as other minion classes just resummon their dead pets, no downtime (outside of cooldown of skill itself)

Forge guard, shaman and spellblade need buffs. Necromancer and falconer need slight nerfs. For every class some subclasses are clearly better than others, more endgame viable and have more working builds and ability synergy. And it blows because subclass is literally the only thing you can't change.

Leave my necro alone~!

Buff any class you want, don't nurf anything please

Games that nurf classes down suck

Just buff the underperformers

Buffing everything will just break the balance even more. If one or two things are overperforming then it's better to nerf those things. Necromancer is fine except for wraithlord which clearly is either bugged or has extra unintended zero or two added somewhere in its damage values. It's so OP that it would still be OP if it dealt 10x less damage. This is what I'm talking about when I say nerfs. Some ♥♥♥♥ isn't just working as intended.

With the time taken and needed to fix things, i hope nurfs at the very last thing on the list

I'd rather see all other aspects of the game improved before reducing any playerpower happens

Beastmaster isn't going to feel better because Necro gets a nurf for example

I cannot express how disappointed i was in D4's early lifecycle when instead of improving Druid they just nurfed Sorceress and Necromancer, stealing what little good the game had at the time and making no-one happier for the result

There are things that are literally completely broken about necromancers currently. Those need a fix / nerf and I am saying this as a Necromancer player.
Things that are our of balance need a nerf or buff, but no one in their right mind would go around buffing 90% of everything else in the game because you dont want a class nerfed. That is not how it works.

I just love how those people are like, "Let's make EVERYTHING overpowered, surely that will improve the game"
