Your thoughts on the new classes

I'm curious as to what their skill sets will be. I know the Seeker is a melee class but will it be similar to a BM or a Barb, or some weird combination of the two? (I plan to roll one to figure it out)

I'm not much of a caster type of person so I don't care much about the Mystic.


EDIT: Woot! Finally got first...

I think they can both (seeker and mystic) see assassins who are in invisable mode.
For the rest: we will see

I'm looking forward to this.

Though, my question is for the mys. (even though I am going to try Seeker first) is the summon a magic skill like how the wizards use the ice/water dragon (don't know what it is never was a wiz) or is it like a pet like the veno? That would be interesting (and solve the "can't be a male veno" factor)

Also, what seperates the seeker from the blade or barb? I mean the psy was the fastest spell caster over the wizard so will there be an added on feature similar but with the Seeker instead?

from what has been revealed so far it seems the seeker will be a heavy armor tank which will mix Physical and magic damage

Not sure, but I have a full set of 80 gold HA and 100 HA that I'm gonna roll one just to find out. Since I have 99% of the gear I'll ever need, it would be pointless not to.

Both look interesting, I mean a melee class with magic? wow... xD I'm a huge fan of magic classes in PWI so I'mma try both but I'll prolly stick with Mystic.

seems interesting I'll defenitely try out both classes would be cool if the mystic could summon some spirits or something ^^

I know that I'll try out both classes, but I'll probably end up with mystic if any of them. I have real trouble stomaching melee classes. There's something that's just not right about that mob being able to hit you xD

Actually I'd hope Mystic doesn't rely too much on summons, I wanted to play something new but not a summoner, which PW already have ><

About the seeker using both physical and magic powers, I kinda fear it will fail in pvp.
From what I experienced in other mmos, usually those kind of hybrid classes rely too much on different several stats and gears and can never excell.

But then, I may be wrong and it will be something different I think of.

I hope the Mystic is more based on debuffs than on buffs or summonin' pet-like things...
And the Seeker sounds too powerful imo...both magic and phys. attacks oO

Ah well...curious, though...

And I hope barbs will be able to use 2-handers aswell o.o

As interesting as The Seeker may be, we all now they will just roll fist/claws anyway, so it'll be another BM with a few different buffs b:bye

The Seeker, a Paladin, has HA, is melee, and has magical self attack buffs. I forsee him being the new OP class.
The Mystic seems to be a more "necromantic" version of the Veno with some Cleric/Psy buff abilities. Going to be hated by Venos for a long time. Just as fist/claw BMs and Archers hate sins.

Seeker would be nice if they implemented it to have skills which take % physical damage done and convert to magic damage....would make them actually fairly effective at killing other heavy armor people (think of an ultimate which for example deals all magic damage...) Im sensing this class might go with the theme of slow attacking hard hitting...claymores probably having more base damage than any other melee weapon to accomplish this..as well as a long reach. This would also mean they would have less stunning skills, since you dont have to keep a target in place to dps it, you can actually take down the target in 2-4 hits or less easily. I suspect this will be the hardest hitting melee class on a per hit basis, with melee skills which have large damage modifiers...most current melee classes have no huge skill damage modifiers on their skills (arma is all hp, not skill damage), like no base + 400%-500% weapon + 10k physical damage, like a wizard magic ultimate...seekers might actually have stuff like that.

In the grand scheme of things with all melee classes this would all make sense.

Barb - Survivability
Sin - dps
Seeker - nukeing < where im thinkin this will end up
Bm - does all of the above less effectively than the specific classes

Anyway just my thoughts on how this will pan out...

I'll play both classes as well. Since veno/psy/sin are only classes I stuck with, I never really used HA on my chars so seeker would be a new thing for me that way. A HA class I would want to play b:victory

Its not that i have anything against current melee classes, other than magic never missing hehe, but I kinda get bored as hell on my sin sometimes for example. Its just opening skill (rib, tackle, stun etc.) then spark and auto attack as needed. Stealth is kinda fun but I don't pvp so its kinda meh.

I'm hoping seeker has a little more finesse to it than that.

Mystic might just cure any desire to go back to my veno since if the limited skill list so far proves accurate the charm skill has some nice advantages. You will never run out of minions assuming you are fighting charmable mobs, you won't need to feed or heal them i suppose, or drop mils on skill books.

I for one hope i get to charm a bulldoc massacerer even if its just for 5 min. Those things pwn, even now they take way more of a beating than some lv150 mobs do b:shocked

The +awareness buff would be largely useless for me tho except that it nicely comes with large hp regen buff attached.

Hopefully they will have interesting flyers. We already have 2 riders and 2 winged races. Maybe they can ride crystals or colorful leaves or giant feathers or something. I prefer wings tho.

Maybe some kind of machines. Steampunk wings lol
