The new profession to be released in the future should be a soldier profession.

there’re currently 3 scholars and 3 adventurers but only 2 soldiers in game.

the new profession should be a soldier class to balance out this ratio.

This also gives us another option of playing a heavy armor class for those who don’t enjoy the guardian and warrior.

Possibly some caster that wears heavy armor? sounds like the start of an idea

My main is a guardian, and by no means does it even have the chance of being a caster… Have you never used ranged weapons on a guardian? yeah tell me what you think about it. Especially when comparing it to a warriors rilfe/longbow,

Yeah, but that’s a bad implementation. It’s still the concept.

Doesnt seem to me as they were intending guardian to be a caster, or else they wouldve tried harder

Sure SEEMS like they use a bunch of magic all the time.
All of their melee weapons use magic in the process, torch uses magical fire, nearly all of their utilities are magical in nature…

Just because they use magic doesnt call them a caster… Compare to casters in game such as necros or eles….. no similarity at all

Magic pervades everything they do. Every single weapon skill other than portions of the autoattacks use magic, nearly all of their utilities use magic pretty much exclusively, and 2 of their elites give them a spellbook.

That rebuttal works both ways, it’s entirely up to interpretation.
And the Guardian’s ranged skills are VERY caster-like, regardless of their effectiveness.


I personally think the new Soldier class should be even more aggressive then the Warrior.

Perhaps something that emulates animals like how the Norn are devised, or like Udyr from League of Legends.
Maybe throw ‘Brass Knuckles’ as a new weapon type that would be an option for some of the existing professions but would be the go-to weapon for this fighter-profession.

It would make combat feel more hands-on with entirely hand-related skills like:

  • “Choke”, channel onto an enemy for up to 5 seconds, dealing damage and stunning them (but stunning yourself as well)
  • “Toy with your enemy”, grab an enemy and swing them around, dealing PBAoE damage, then launching said enemy away.
  • “Beat down”, get on top of an enemy and beat on them, crippling them and dealing heavy damage and bleeds.

Fun stuff that you can’t pull off in the same manner with a standard weapon in hand.

“Bleeding, Poison, Confusion, Torment, they all look delightful on you.”

Lv80s: Guard, Thief, Necro. Renewed my Altaholic’s card on the HoT Hype-Train. Choo choo~

Indeed actually there aren’t really any real ‘casters’ in this game it seems. They could totally make one and give it a system like thief’s initiative but maybe call it “magic” or something (just to not use the always used “mana”.)

Like a Viking Berserker! That might prove to be interesting.

Honestly, I’m hoping to see another heavy armor class that can use rifle and greathammer. Maybe something similar like thief that uses rage points or something similar, and has no cooldown on skills, so it could be different from warrior.

Chronomancer could come back?
I wish it did, was such a cool concept.
They said it’s not though, unfortunately.
