Has intrepid mentioned which class would come next after the bard?

    They haven't mentioned, but I'd bet a lot of money that it's rogue next. Reason being, pet classes are incredibly finicky and problematic from a design standpoint, which is why they're either overpowered or underpowered in most games. Finishing every other class will give Intrepid a baseline for capability they can work off of the balance the summoner against. We've known for a long time that the summoner was almost certainly going to be the final constructed class for a long time specifically for that reason.

    Supposedly they'll both be in the first A2 update after A2 launch, but I suppose one will be showcased before the other. They haven't mentioned which.

    Also, rouge is red in French, rogue is the class. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    I agree. I feel like they will deal with stealth mechanics before pets. I will not be surprised if pets are doing everything except what you want them to do in the first couple of weeks after Summoner is implemented.

    Summoner is required to be last because its the one that needs to look at what everyone else is doing and go "im that guy too".

    So i fully expect rogue to hit next.

    I agree. I love multi-pet classes. Though, they are hard in program for many reasons.

    More than likely the rogue will be shown next.

    summoner will be last it takes the most work to make since pets and all that.

    Yes I can fully see this being the case. I'm also very curious to see how the summoner's multi class choices impact their gameplay.
