    Why would you name it Tank? That seems uninspired and half-arsed.

    Very bad, very sad, this game seems to be being created with the consoles in mind, look at how basic the skills are. PC gamers spent a lot of money on a game that was created for console players.

    The classes are rather lackluster, I'd agree. However, I'm more interested in the innovative ideas these folks have with regard to the game world itself. As long as I have a fun character to play that is somewhat familiar and that has meaningful progression, then I'm happy, and have less to "worry about" so that I can enjoy the actual world more.

    I Like all the familiar Classes and the familiar spells. They are a great bass after all this is still in development. I have faith in Ashes of Creation to come up with more advanced spells that No one else has. and i look forward to seeing the final product. :-) Have faith, This is Only the beginning of a great game in the making. It is not even in the Alpha Stage yet hahaahha. Patience is a virtue

    If it turns out to be "console-centric" then I have no interest as I've yet to see such a MMO that's worth anything at all. Only time will tell.

    Yeah, I was wondering the same thing when it said base classes. Curious if they are going to take a class evolvution approach like RO etc or if they just mean these will be the 4 starting with others coming in the future. Those ability numbers seem a bit limited as well so hopefully there's a lot of skill customization, like adding different effects to spells etc. I personally feel the execution is better than the diversity a game brings. Quality over quantity.

    'I've got a great idea! How bout we forget about thinking of a proper class name and just call it by its codename Tank. That way, even novice players will know right away what it does!'


    You've got to be kidding me.

    It bothers me that the healer is the only class without a perception skill line on the list.

    'Tank'? What a shitty name. Not only that but wow, what an extremely weak set of classes. I don't even see a fighter type who's able to use two-handed weapons... How is it that they're trying to make a game that has been inspired by the MMOs of old like EQ, etc... Yet somehow they're offering far less class choice in comparison. I wasn't too excited by Ashes to begin with seeing as how it's a Kickstarter MMO but damn, this looks weak.

    If this game was as revolutionary/innovative as people claim they want the next game to be, no one would play it.

    All the bases classes? Because this doesn't make sense if they are planning to branch sub-classes off these 4.

    All the bases classes? Because this doesn't make sense if they are planning to branch sub-classes off these 4. 
    They have 8 base classes, Tank, Fighter, Rogue, Summoner, Cleric, Bard, Mage and Ranger. Each of there classes are later paired to augment your class into something more. This would make the class you play. We have not been given that info yet but if you start out as a Tank and pick Mage as your second class, you could be a Battlemage. Tank base class and Cleric secondary class you could be a Paladin. 

    These skills you see now will evolve into something more as you progress. You can earn augmentations by the race, religion, secondary class and more. To give you an idea how that works. A Mages skill "After Image" after picking Cleric as a secondary class could augment "After Image" with the Cleric skill "Stolen Blessing" so the copies of the mage when they expire could blow up and damage enemies and heal allies in range of the copies. 

    This will lead to thousands of option. As you notice you have 8 skills, each doing more then one thing. Augmentation deepens that even more. Like the Clerics large heal also being used as a res. Taking us away from having 50-80 skills and a million hotkey/bars. This will make combat more fluid. Stop you from fumbling because 1/2 your screen is filled with hotbars. Letting you focus on combat. About time I say. This also opens up Ashes to port to consoles very easily. What you are seeing here is skin deep on their class system.
