I just started playing and im new anyone know what the class is or any images?

I don't believe they are releasing any other hints besides "It will be a ranged class" So the possibilities are endless. That being said, the "Ranger and Warlock" seem to be the communities guess.

During closed beta 2 or 3, don't remember which exactly. Items were dropping for the scourge warlock, it was then patched for the next CB. So I assume scourge warlock is next, but I also heard rumors of archer ranger (which uses those nature nodes you find) Either way those are most likely the next 2 classes. But I would put my money on Scourge Warlock next, since they already have the equipment made for them.

thanks alot

lol wasnt patched very well scourge warlock pieces were still being dropped in BW3 probally still around just very rare

On a side note, I don't understand why it is such a big deal if they announce the next class? I mean every other mmo announces a new class MONTHS before they are released. Using WoW as a reference, everyone knew a deathknight was going to be the new class in WOTLK 1 year before hand? I don't see why they just can't announce the next class. Just a thought.

I want it to be the warlock but the sad thing is it will probably be the ranger.

I would also prefer warlock over ranger, but either way I will prolly play the new class after toughing it out on a GWF, lol.

GWF is a bit annoying to level but once he gets to end game well hes better but still has no real place in it, pvp on the other hand hes a stunlock machine who still gets owned by everything else if he doesnt get two hits in first, but on the ranger thing i dunno what it is about bow users but i can never bring myself to enjoy them in other mmo's, there is something about shooting a mob and running away (kiting)that really irks me

My GWF has been 60 for a week or so, and i re-rolled rogue, but to your point about archers, I HATE kiting, with a passion, but when they do an archer type class, I don't see traditional kiting working in this type of game. I can see some snare/root abilities, and a paragon path which specializes in "up front shooting" meaning bonuses to survivability and dmg bonuses to enemies who are close. Kind of like a trapper in a way, although pure speculation, but I see a long range tree, a short range/survivability tree, and a party buff/enemy debuff tree.

Ahh my bad I thought when you said "toughing it out on a GWF" you meant you where having trouble leveling it, what else is there to do endgame at the moment ? runes and enchants? just wait it out till the market reaches saturation point to socket as they are thoroughly too hard/expensive too make , get your epic set with your gaudian AD from the AH and move on to the next character:D
A trapper might be cool though, but if the dungeons mobs current pathing reaction to traps at the moment is any indication unless they rework some mechanics it would be completely unviable.

Sorry, I meant "toughing it out" by being kicked by every single dungeon I tried to join, which is why I re-rolled rogue, lol.

I think the new class should be a Warlock for definite. Because at the moment there is no class that really has control of minions in PvP. And having a Warlock will be fun to play if they had moves like fearing targets away and damage over time spells.

Rogue is the best

redneckronin · June 2013

Why aren't there Archers/Rangers in the game already?

Why add two warrior classes, two caster classes but not a genuine ranged class.

Makes you wonder if there is a problem with non-magical ranged combat mechanics.

All The Best
