Dread Knight

Oh yeah.

Murr · 05-25-2005, 01:37 PM

Inquisitor sounds kind of cool. Sorcerer (Wizard), Summoner (Mage), Necro sound pretty standard. Blood Mage could be cool too if they go Empath style.

Faille · 05-25-2005, 01:40 PM

and bards are back!

leane · 05-25-2005, 01:43 PM

Isn't that the EQ2 class list?

The Bog · 05-25-2005, 01:46 PM

Dread Knight? I'm in.

Sortof, except Bard doesn't split into "Minstrel" and "Guitardude" etc.

Wow, I know people don't want them go in the direction EQ went, but this list makes me extremly happy. Beta where ru

leane · 05-25-2005, 02:01 PM

I think its gonna be really hard to not go in that sorta direction, It is all based upon Tolkien/DnD to begin with unless your game is in a totally different genere.

Where is Enchanter?

I want my fucking KEI Bitches!

Angerz · 05-25-2005, 02:07 PM

Blood mage sounds intriguing.

Is it going to be a step further in the tribal/feralistic priest skills beyond shaman? Or something completely new?

And I second the "Beta where are you?"

Mkopec1 · 05-25-2005, 02:09 PM

So this means that Vanguard is going in the way of no crowd control?

This kinda blows in a way. I liked the added tension, skills, and tactics that CC brought to the table.

It seems like VG is going by the way of WoW and EQ2, hardly no CC.

I'm pretty sure that the closest we'll get to an enchanter, such as it was in Everquest, will be the psionicist. Unless of course there is a class that wasn't mentioned, which Brad said there could be.

My guess is; enchanters will appear in Vanguard, as part of the crafting sphere.

I agree with your standpoint on crowd control also, I think it's pretty lame that up until now, Brad has said crowd control will be very limited; and he's remained silent as to whether or not there'll be a class specializing in crowd control. Honestly, it'll be a definate sticking point for me, and I assume many other players, if at least one crowd control specialist class isn't included in the line up.

Crowd control, like any other game mechanic, should be evolving. I'm sad to see that the more recent games on the market, with the notable exception of City of Heroes, have sought to de-evolve crowd control to the point of irrellevance and borderline nonexistance.

What's interesting is that he said "I'll post a list of the classes that we feel confident about, leaving out a few that we still need to work with more"

So there are more than these that they are working on.

And Mkopec1 the Psionicist is the semi-known "enchanter" type.

Ahh, Ok, I didnt put two and two together. I guess psionicist=CC does make sense, sort of like mind control shit going on.
