What class do you most want to see? (a SERIOUS POLL)

[GrauGeist]

I vote assassin, too. Could be like Eizo

[Cultusfit]

Assassin/Thief. We already have two ranged heroes. Another melee hero that is a cross between BH/warrior would be quite interesting. Smokescreen with melee would be an interesting mix....brings back memories of the Bounty Hunter in DOTA.

No kidding
Assassin/Thief or Monk could use them.

I still think more than the summoner the game needs another melee focused class. One with mystical/magical abilities

paladin, monk, assassin, ninja, thief

You know ninja....it's commonly used as a secondary to monks or thiefs/assassins but if they did it as a main it might work well....
swords, and sicles

quick wiki:
Along with common weapons, a large assortment of miscellaneous arms were associated with the ninja. Some examples include poison,^[73]makibishi (caltrops),^[94] cane swords (shikomizue),^[95] land mines,^[96]fukiya (blowguns), poisoned darts, acid-spurting tubes, and firearms.^[84]The happō, a small eggshell filled with blinding powder (metsubushi), was also used to facilitate escape.

so you give them smoke screen, posion, an acid trap (area DoT would be awesome)
Assassinate (make it work a lot like elbans so it's a line/bleed effect where character moves to the location)

could also give them some of the BH weapons...I dont think the system would really work with a sai in one hand and pistol in other...but if they would that would be awesome....sword and gun....

[GrauGeist]

Assassin / Thief / Ninja are all the same dexterity / speed / quickness fighters with light armor. Same base build, but with different Sets. Ninja Set, Assassin Set, Sniper Set.

[CarnivorousDeathParrot]

One reason I dislike the apprentice set is that it already looks like some shaman type...

I voted for Assassin of course.

Metaraces (humans, elves, dwarves, orks, trolls, etc.) with innate buffs and weaknesses would add further diversity, even to existing classes. But it would make a lot of work for the devs and their artists. :-(

and their artists. :-(

90% sure there's only one

[Purple Potato]

*snip*

This has nothing to do with the OP.. OP is about making it so everyone isnt a human and could be an elf, or orc or something. Not adding a new class or anything.

Topic posted heading is "What class do you most want to see? (a SERIOUS POLL)" my response stated "Druid", and "Assassin", class. So the response is on topic. I've just added some defining qualities to each, Thank you.

yeah my bad, I thought this was a different thread. Sorry.

[Melchiah]

Just noticed that Travis voted for Druid/Shaman. Not a melee'r fan, I take it. ;-)

Idea for a Ninja/Assassin Class: Weapons, Gear, and Abilities that can focus on either ranged or melee combat. Soft overlap with either BH or Warrior in a single Class depending on the load-out.

Idea for Summoner: Passive Ability proc that summons a single-action entity that imparts offensive or defensive buffs to toon + all minions or attacks/de-buffs all enemies on the screen. Entity type and effects are random but always beneficial, with proc chance and effectiveness increasing and a new entity unlocking with each skill level. Think FFT's main summons + RNG + attack proc.

I want a farmer with a high fork. Why did you not make that a option? Now i can't vote.

Might as well ask for a kangaroo with boxing gloves and sunglasses.

[Trouble]

I think I'd be most interested in some sort of martial arts with mystical abilities. Perhaps even with the monk/ninja options based on armor set and active skills, like the (intended) difference between the Warrior Defender and Juggernaught sets.

Summoner/Necromancer... Just triggers memories of making a Necro in D2, loving it, really loving the playstyle, and then walking up to Andariel and watching my army shatter in her first AOE.
