But it is my list. Feel free to add yours! I would love to see them!
p.s. My pew pew choice would be the bard I wrote story in paragon path for, or a Seldarin dedicate.
So they can make new classes easily, even if they don't have all at launch.
However, I do agree with the other posters... more pew pew!!!

I just hope it wont be like DDO ,they promised new classes but for 3 years i never saw a new class.O wait i think 1 class ,after i left i heard they added some.
Yeah, I heard they finally added druid (lol)
But forget classes - that was quite a big deal for DDO to add classes, problem was the incomplete classes. e.g. half of the classes didn't have prestige classes, some of them had half of it upto level 2 It was highly erratic.
I think they go more like Swoosh Poosh Waaahhhrrrgggg BANNNGGG!
p.s. I gotta get off from monty python, but am scared of withdrawal symptoms.
Is there such a thing as a Summoner Cleric in 4e? I was always a fan of summon monster spells when I played clerics.

As for the remaining classes, it's too early to say, but optimally every class with every build should be in at the end ;P
Ok, I lied when I said these are my expectations, I'm not that optimistic. These are more my hopes ;P
frenzied barbarian and maybe a variant that would add some leech ability on hit ? cause keeping them alive can be hard
and something like a naruto ninja for the future with collectable spirit shrouds( think kyubi shroud with different looks) and physical based spell/combos jutsu
a summoner that can summon giant elemental hands and stuff to smoosh foes depending on the elemental"part" summoned would grant different spells u can cast only while its up
Character is what a man is in the dark
In D&D I think that cleric or warpriest fit pretty well in the role of a hybrid melee/magic class or maybe arcane trickster or paladin, it depends on you whether u want to focus more on melee or spells.
That means 4e FR exclusive class (yes a complete class of its own) called swordmage. or ardent, battlemnd etc - lots of choices
I do see Cryptic's hesitance to include a custom or freeform class or even multiclass (Gods I hope to see this as well) there are Diehard and longtime D&D fans that see this as essential to a complete D&D game. However they are making an MMO and there will be players who have never played and more rarely even heard of D&D that would not have a pleasant playing experience if all classes were freeform ie; wizard, cleric, fighter, ect due to not understanding the placement of stats, skill points, feats, and Prestige classes aka paragon paths. The reason to have predetermined builds for this reason makes total sense to allow first time players to have a meaningful play experience, but please Cryptic don't restrict all players with predetermined class builds. At some point, I'm pleading with you Cryptic, Please for the love of all that is D&D include an option to a build your own wizard, cleric, rogue, fighter, ect class.
As a long time D&D (CRPG especially) player some of the fun for me was trial and error building my own character, if I made a horrible choice and ultimately messed up my character build I either releveled (which I realize is not feasable for this game) or deleted and rerolled my character to correct the mistake.
I say this because I am very sure that other members of this dedicated forum community have the same if not in most cases more experience with D&D as myself probably feel the same as I do about most of what I have said.
GW FIghter
Guardian Fighter
Divine Cleric
Battle Cleric
Trickster Rogue
(Some sort of ranged) Rogue
Control Wizard
(Another) Wizard
That is really all I expect at launch, maybe a 3rd build for each class but I doubt it. I would guess that Paladin and Ranger would be the next classes added in.
Battle and Control Wizard
Battle and Devoted Cleric
Trickster and Scoundrel Rogue
Virtuous and Protecting Paladin
Two handed and archer Ranger
This is what i hope at launch.

* barbarian
* bard
* cleric
* druid
* fighter
* monk
* paladin
* ranger
* rogue
* sorcerer
* wizard
With 4e, I think swordmage also becomes a necessity. My dream Neverwinter would ship with all those 12, each with at least two "builds" a la 4e.
I could see monk taking a backburner, as they're sort of shoehorned into the FR western fantasy pastiche, and barbarians and sorcerers have such similarities to fighters and wizards, perhaps they could wait a little, too. The others are just as important as the classic four man band (cleric, fighter, rogue, wizard), to me.
+1 for Faerun specific classes and races. YAY!!!
And.... That's it.
Is that Leeroooy?
