The Classes Thus Far (Class List)

[Acany]

I doubt it'll be 25 unique classes. If anything the four announced classes serve as a generel description of a class category - but time will tell.

[Refrain]

Maybe there are only 8 classes and they just added ph's for more pages to play with our minds

[Valkyre]

Picking a class will be a pain if there is 25-32 classes to choose from, there will probably be at least 4 classes you would want to play. How to decide? =/

Play them all. ;)

[Kalbuir]

You pick all 4 ofcourse :P atleast that is my hope

I hope to see a really broad class system offering different playstyles withing each archetype. Of course balancing is important otherwise certain classes become pointless. The biggest worry is them trying to balance both pvp and pve, which simply doesn't work. You end up in the infinite cycle of balancing and rebalancing and never get anywhere just creating cycles of flavour of the month and a huge amount of wasted dev time.

[Kalbuir]

I would be a big fan of splitting what a skill does in pvp and what it does in PVE but this effectively means a lot of extra work and resources. It would probably be the only way where both pvp and pve can be balanced. Like Durn said the constant balance cycle and grief between pve players whining about pvp players because their pve skill got nerfs is just pointless and a waste of resources.

I think we can assume that with the addition of the Bard image from the High Elf race page that the Bard class will (Thank God) be making it into the game.

Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU!! Please let it be true

[Kalbuir]

Bards will be a unlockable class :P To start one you need to send in your audition tape with you singing: "I need a hero" the Rift/HoT community will then decide if you are good enough in reallife to become in bard in-game.

I'd totally send in that tape.

[Faelor]

With the idea of there being around 24-32 classes, I hope there is a Bard!

A bit busy as of today, could you or someone else grab a source so I can post a link along with it? Thanks.

[souper]

Nah, I don't think Paladin was ever confirmed. It was only implied strongly that there would be one, or something like it.

That's why I am kind of hesitant to post any rumors on the list. I mean, we could create a full list of classes (aka see the other thread listing what classes people would like to see) but I'd like to keep this strictly confirmed classes.
