A minor note of observation in concepting class.

I think it is hard to come up with a new class that have new function at this point. As you well know, most of the archtype of typical rpg class can be cover by the 6 core classes, or its combination (Paladin = W/Mo). There is little room for new function type. Even the expansion class they came up with are just extension of the core's combination. There might be more, but hte only two function that was not cover that I can think of are Stealth and Gating (teleporting), but those two are also hard to blance.

However, there are still two things that a new class can fall back on.
One, is theme. A good theme, or character image, would attract player to playing that class, much like how the Naruto-wannabe flock to assassin. So if the class is sexy enough, one can over look its repeat of same old function.

Another is playing style. Usually it depend on what playing mechanic it offers. So Monk, Ritual, Paragon, can all be seen to have a very similar function, that of a buffer/healer. But the way each play is very differnt.

Thirdly, is how it's attributes are combined. This allow one to make a seemly different character, and allow more choice in proff combo. Like how paragon match a physical range (which was cover by Ranger) with shout buffs (which was offered by Warrior or Monks) into one.

So maybe with those in mind, could help you make a more unique class concept.

i'd say engineer yust seems the most original approach

jesh · Nov 27, 2005, 01:27 AM // 01:27

The sorcerer class from NWN. Eat my timestop, you worthless w/mo noobs.

Of course that will never happen, so I vote for druid or some sort of pikeman.

Symeon · Nov 27, 2005, 08:26 AM // 08:26

Do any you want, I don't see the reason you need to ask us which, just do one!

meh. only problem with a sorcerer class is that it is pretty much an elementalist. the majority of the elementalist water skills slow down or stop an opponent outright. sorcerer would pretty much be an elementalist in a cool robe.

as for pikeman, that would ridiculously unbalance the game unless they were terrible with pikes. a pike does alot of damage at decent range, so you would have to make them either be terribly innacurate, or find some other way to nerf them.

druid: have you ever played Diablo 2? druid = ewww.

Anyhow, what new class would you like to see. Actually, the question should be, What new concept class should I write up/revise.
While I have been stop playing GW, but still a high intersted in making concept classes, especially with the good people here. I have done alot of those CC before, and many still need a better write up and revision, and while I do want to get to all of them someday, I am just lazy. But I feel I should do one this break, and cann't decide which one, thus this post... (also to get a feeling to see if anyone is still interested to read my stuff) And here are the choices...

Engineer
Brawler/Chi-master
Dragoon/Rider/Knight
Commander
Enchanter
Dualist/Pirate?
Bard
Naps

hmmm... what o what.

Engineer- See Closed Post of hate
Dragoon/Rider/Knight- So more of a w/mo paladin
Commander-uh...so a party leader?
Enchanter- so a prot monk?
Duelist/Pirate- Pirates...hmmm...pirate suck
Bard- Yeah a singer...that would help...
Naps- go take one instead of making these stupid posts

Brawler/Chi-master

how i'd love that

almightytom · Dec 06, 2005, 02:26 AM // 02:26

dragon, i gotta agree with you for once. brawler/chi would be cool. imo, it would just be a melee monk (like the majority of real monks are) ie: staff, hand to hand combat styles.

darkdragon99 · Dec 06, 2005, 02:26 AM // 02:26

y would a say a word to you when i can just tell Dralspire about you trying to start another flame war

almightytom · Dec 06, 2005, 02:31 AM // 02:31

actually, if i recall correctly, you started the last flame war. im tryin to keep it civil in here and have a real conversation, but if you are threatening to report my guild mates, i might get nasty.
now. heres my ideas for brawler/chi
attributes:
chi (main attribute. affects the monks chance to hit, and maybe damage)
hand-to-hand (increases damage done while fighting without a weapon)
staff (increases damage done while fighting with a melee staff)
prayers (improves skills related to boosting damage done with hand to hand and staff, and also improves skills related to healing)

Lasareth · Dec 06, 2005, 02:44 AM // 02:44

Kaboom. Keep it clean, ladies.

Lasareth · Dec 06, 2005, 02:50 AM // 02:50

Look at the forum guidelines again, Picard. There's a section called "flaming"

I'm still working on the others.

Till then, please return to the subject in a civil manner.

Bubba Lips · Dec 06, 2005, 02:56 AM // 02:56

spearmen would be ownage IMO.

darkdragon99 · Dec 06, 2005, 02:56 AM // 02:56

ooo the brawler/chi could also use something like brass nuckles that go with the hand to hand that way you can get some item bonus
