Just an idea about a possible 7th class (after rumors about a “barbarian” 6th class).
Ladies and Gentlemen, the new class could be :
The ARTIFICER, with subclasses
The Pyromancer
The Saboteur
The Technomage
The Pyromancer, a mage-style, would rediscover the until now “meh” abilities of the Mage regarding fire skills/spells. We may have flamethrowers, a decent fire aura (RF says yay), devouring flames, induced combustions, in general inferno everywhere.
The Saboteur would make nets, caltrops and traps of the Falconer look obsolete. Equipped with complicated ballista-type contraptions and combining advanced explosive / magnetic / lightning traps with area-denial turrets and mortar, would give a fresh “post-apocalyptic” aura to the game.
Finally the Technomage inspired from the sci-fi genres, would employ magics that would teleport the player or enemies, exile them to other dimensions, use mind-control or alter reality to turn enemies fight each other, use exotic weapons and be cool and deadly.
In my opinion this new class would offer so many different skills and playstyles, would be super-fun to play and would attract players from the huge crowd of fantasy / sci-fi audience.
I would appreciate your thoughts and ideas about that…
