What kind of skills would it have?

ArchivedUser

I like the D&D style shaman class, in the vein of tribal or magic users that gain their magic from nature and through the use of rituals.

This is "similar" to the druid archetype, but rather than turning into beasts, a Shaman wields magical influence over beasts. 

I hope some class combo(s) leads to this archetype, such as Summoner/Mage or Summoner/Cleric.

I would love a gunner, however I know Steven's vision does not involve that class ever coming to Ashes.

I'd like to see some sort of, I don't know, (forgive me for the terminology) "Animagus" type class.
  A were-type class that can shapeshift into different types of animals/beasts with different attributes and stats. Maybe as character progression, unlock different animals/beasts (on end game character have monster as ultimate)
  Obviously with limitations and maybe set duration timers on each transformation before reverting back, leaving it with appropriate cooldowns, forcing you to use multiple strategies and timely transformations (instead of just sitting in Cheetah mode all day) lol 

Opinions anyone?

Creative. Shifting between animals would be the skills. Bird, Turtle, Wolf, Bear etc. --each one giving a buff and increased evasion, attack, or defense.

Another option.
All three, with extra on top

How about acolyte? 'The power of MY god compels you!'
Shapeshifter...obvs
hypnotist... 'stab your friend now'
Oooh body snatcher.... your characters swap bodies in the middle of a fight
Magneto!

Necromancer or beastmaster. I like pet classes

I personally would love to see a class that utilises technology (it doesn't have to be super sophisticated).

The question is "if one more class could be added what would you like it to be?" so I cant vote in the poll because my class is not on there.

I would say a Monk or more specifically a Martial Arts type monk with fist weapons. Almost an exact copy of the pathfinder monk class so cool jump and fall mechanics for negating or lessening fall damage as well as many resistances to poisons and other things of that nature. Also a few abilities from pathfinder that would be cool are "Stunning Fist" and "Quivering Palm" not to mention "Evasion" I think it would be a really cool class as well.

P.S. If anyone wants to read more about the Pathfinder Monk here is a link to the Monk page of the Pathfinder SRD.

Some natural type druid like shapeshifter sounds perfect to me. Just travelling alone would be enjoyable by choosing different animals to travel with including flying animals at the higher levels

Monk, there are no guns in Ashes. How'd did you arrive to Gunner before Monk?

I realized that a Monk is basically a Cleric/Fighter... so.. didn't put it in.

Psychic would be cool, I love it. They can read people's skill tree and item on them, even meta read their pms lol, that'd be fun.

I expect Druid or Shaman to be a subclass of Mage.

ArchivedUser

Would like to see a druid shapeshift into different types of animals

ArchivedUser

I have a feeling Druid might be a mix of Cleric and Ranger... maybe Mage/Ranger? Ranger/Mage? There are a lot of possibilities. As far as I know we don't know the full archetype combo list yet.

I will be disappointed if there isn't a combo that makes one. After holy characters, druidic ones tend to be my next go to.

ArchivedUser

64 archetypes.
Druid will already be there.
The devs say Ashes will never have guns.
Psionics has not been ruled out yet.

ArchivedUser

In my opinion, a gunner in this type of game would just damage its reputation. Simply put that this is a medieval-fantasy game.
Psion could be awesome and combining it with a tank build.. maybe that's too overpowered?
My call is a Druid. Using the powers of nature to do as you please is just plain fun
Binding players with tree roots and letting your summoned wolf bite him off with the bleeding effect.. ahh the joy of torture >:3

ArchivedUser

Huck Mana, gimme my psionic power

ArchivedUser

Where's my "other" option?! Fail.

Personally I would like a Monk type class. This usually means am unarmed melee type fighter but with some special and unique skills.

Of course with 64 class combos, maybe one of them will fit that, maybe the Rogue/Cleric? idk

No need to worry, Steven has crushed the idea of guns in the game.  I personally would like the idea but respect the wishes of most that it does not fit a fantasy setting like this one.

Can't really have any technology at all.. Then that takes the game from a fantasy game to a Sci-fi game, changing the entire genre lol so I think the closest you would get to a gun is a crossbow for archers. xD

Yup.  Front-line guy in light armor with a staff and holy powers, that's your classic Monk and it's basically what a Cleric is in this game already.

It's in me blood!

ArchivedUser

I feel gunners are part ranger and druid part mage.
psychics have a different feel to it

ArchivedUser

I'd love to see psionicist in game.  They are a wonderful alternative to the traditional mage/summoner/cleric archetypes.

When you say Monk, are you talking like the European type? Because I would agree with you (The Friar from DAoC perfectly matches that description)

But I'm talking more the Monk from games like V:SoH, EQ, WoW, Diablo3 and even D&D. Basically un-armed martial arts master that often has highly unique abilities like healing, safe falling, mind over body abilities, dim mak attacks, immunity to toxins and mind control, etc.

Now I would love it if the Cleric/Fighter was named Monk but I would want something more than a simple stick wielding healer.

ArchivedUser

think the others will be sub classes , gunner but on old school musket like fable 2

ArchivedUser

I'm not sure shapeshifters fit too well in this game, but I always love turning into a giant bear or wolf in combat.  I also enjoy nature magic.  Roots to strangle or snare enemies, summoning plants to spit or attack your enemies, or healing powers are all cool.

Cleric/Mage or Mage Cleric maybe a Druid for all we know. Also no guns pls.

Necromancer for @drdebica ❤️

Ohhhh, I have an idea....what if the GOD you chose had a direct effect on the flavor of your primary class?!

So in your example what if worshiping say the Forest Mother (completely made up) meant a Summoner would summon creatures from nature but worshiping say "nagash" the father of corruption and evil meant a Summoner would become a Necromancer?!

Holy crap, that would turn 64 classes into 448! (6 gods +1 agnostic)
