New character class?

Not so much speculation as just discussion. If the game does end up getting a new expansion, hopefully it'll come with a new class, and I'm just speculating on what else the game needs.

Last two classes we got were Druid and Warlock. I feel like we could use another distinctly melee class to keep the fighters, barbarians, and rogues company.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

People that can code with enough imagination to bake quests that are not:

Corridor full of enemies, kill everything, lever unlocks (fuck you stealthy toons), rinse and repeat 3 or 4 times. Big room with boss

A fucking clue on how to manage the game would be really nice too but I realize I'm asking too much

New races? Yes.

New classes? No.

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Introduced in Update 34, the Developer class creates Bugs to destroy players in addition to a variety of antiquated systems to lag them in their adventures. Dexterity is their casting stat from years of Pacman larps.

Design intention of the class is toward concentrating mostly on creating bugs and eliminating benefits for players, and ways to manipulate other players into quitting the game. While the Developer does have spell abilities, they are closer to a ranged character than a traditional caster. It is a regular class, not race-specific iconic one.

Class Summary[edit]
Alignment: Any - but being Lawful and/or Good restricts your forum posting options

Hit die: d6

Class Skills[edit]
Skill points at 1st level: (2 + Intelligence modifier) x4
Skill points at each additional level: 2 + Intelligence modifier

Could do without new classes and races.  More imaginative content would be most welcome.

I got one wish fulfilled when druid came out in with MOTU but was ruined by the rollout. I had to wait til 2015 to start enjoying it and since I last played it was still one of my favorites. The other one I was really holding out for was psionics. Since the whole goddamn Ebberon module is based around psionics it never made a shade of sense why they never implemented the class. I was totally confuzzled when they came out with artificers over psionics but maybe it was because we already had too many magic based classes not to mention the developers would have had to actually work to integrate psioncis along with melee cross class.

If they couldn't even develop a decent skin for their garbage anniversary event broccoli beater, I'm placing bets if they do dare to develop another class, it will be another homogenized, heavily sampled or blatantly ripped off collection of content from DDO or other outdated MMO's and thrown together like the classic Turbine septic tank casserole players have been choking down for now over a year.

I would say Psion is one that is missing but seeing how they implemented both Mindflayers and Warlocks I'd say it would just be a watered down bard with firewall.

For melee, there is a 4th ed class Warlord but I've not looked into it too much to say how it would differ from Fighter, Paladin, or Barbarian.

Add it with the new races... Kalashtars and Shifters are still missing as Eberron Races.

1) REAL arcane archer that can transmit all spells through a bow.

2) REAL palemaster that can rez every dead enemy to assist the group

3) COMPLETE druid that can command all random animals in the guest to their benefit (random animals vary per quest.)

4) Real FVS that can bestow crowns of retribution left an right (on a timer) to "bless" group members during combat in a non-dispellable way.

You know, basic PNP shit be introduced to the game...

Nothing, they'll only fuck it up and make the game balance worse.

Psionics would be the beezneez.

The mechanics are already in place even if re-purposed from other class abilities, spells and mob abilities.

Oh and confetti, permanent confetti...HWIN

I kinda feel like, outside of the Psionic classes, we have all the classes we really need.  What else can they add that isn't really just a very minor adjustment on something we already have? 

Races and Iconics seem to be the better place to invest time and energy and can add some more diverse and unique character build options.

(My personal fav options:  Tiefling, Aasimar, Kalashtar, Dragonborn for races and Dwarf Battlerager for an Iconic)

I'd rather see investment there, unless they are thinking of allowing us to go evil on alignments.  Then Blackguards would be a nice class add....

The loot was appalling and originally intentionally insulting. (Remember "Constant Criticism" being changed?) I was referring to the graphic for anything new being developed. Before there was so much more attention to detail. Now it looks like the developers are using a fucking etch a sketch for designing anything new. Tell me, does this thing come close to resembling a stalk of broccoli?

No wonder it kills oozes. This weapon looks like something that would come out of my ass after eating 3 bags of sour gummi bears.

I’d be OK with psionic classes.  But, I would prefer more choices for enhancement trees and epic destinies.  And those can’t happen until the class passes are done.

unlockable monster races- with level adjustments (ogres, minotaurs), race templates (halffiends, etc), and multiclassed enhancement trees emulating real multiclass prestige classes

When all of you say you want a psionic class I really get the feeling you're not remembering that this would be programmed by Turbine.

You're not gonna get a psion.  You're gonna get a spellcaster with sonic SLAs, charm person, and warforged weapon attachment reskinned as graft.  It will be OP, but it's not gonna be a psion.

Hey how is that new janitor job going Princess? a couple of us noticed your new schedule posting a 4:30 am San Jaun time like clockwork. Enjoying that second shift? 

Too funny to see you still trying to sound like a baller who is living the high life of booze and babes.. all while posting at 4am,  a time when the actual ballers are either dancing, fucking, gambling, or crashing.

Ah the long drawn out humiliation really is the most enjoyable to watch.

Jew.

Any rpg should include the 4 core classes: fighter, mage, thief, and jew.

Tho they have to introduce a new skill: accounting(int)

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.
