    Stupid thread, this game doesn't need new classes. People who think it does haven't got a clue how to play it properly.

    Necromancer, Summoner (undead), Lich class.

    I think they've covered the bases with the existing ones...though a more subtle support class that doesn't directly main heal/dps or tank but rather enhances the group's chance of surviving with utility in a more subtle way whilst doing some dps would be good, I've always found these bard-styled classes add a lot to party dynamics, I'm biased since I like playing these the most. Plus, not entirely sure how one could be implemented in a futuristic game like wildstar...

    Just about any class a person would want could be added more simply by incorporating skill lines they would use into the game, it seems to be built around this fundamental idea.

    More skill lines for the classes and more skills for the current lines would do for me. 
  • LagKingBongLagKingBong Member Posts: 54

    I'd love to see some additional elements (make frost viable please!) get some dedicated skill trees.

    Also, longer buffs specifically related to knockdown resist would b awesome. 8-14 second Immovable just aint cuttin it.

    Imperial Legatus (or soldier, whatever name you want) which is a tank and specializes in reducing damage taken by tactics and formations. You don't have to be Imperial to be in the Imperial Army :)

    Another stupid thread by OP.

     

    Don't need new classes just new skill trees.

    The Litigator class for all the forum lawyers who threaten to sue gaming companies over every perceived wrong.

    Whatever happens, I would dearly love if they shook everything up regularly so that the usual anal crowd can't just google 'the best build/gear/tactic' for every boss/instance and turn the game into the same old stupid minmax, predictable, repetitive endeavor like every other game in the last 15 years. And then maybe I won't have to listen to the same old 'pff dude you have tier bleh gear it's like soooo last patch and your spec if myeh myeh myeh blah blah blah' every time I enter an instance to enjoy the game. 

    Something that keeps players guessing or at least have to test things out for themselves...then wipe the slate clean and start again would be a lovely novelty.
