The future of Melee

ok so whats next for melee in gw?

I mean we got the warriors, the meat shields of the game

And sin's do the hit and run tatics

And now were getting the dervish, whick i see as becoming the the blender in melee range

So whats next?

Whats next? Nightfall hasn't even been released yet. We haven't even seen the balanced versions of them. How can anyone guess whats next?

But for the fun of it. A frog throwing melee attacker.

I vote for suicide bombers, mostly because I just don't like monks.

death nova now that be a crazy synergy

NERF! NEEEERRRRRFFF!

lol a whole new meaning to EoE bomb groups!

anyway they have very creative devs, i myself didnt see anything happening after factions classes but im very imppressed with the dervish and paragon from what ive seen. Im sure they will come out with more things but id rather see for chapter 4, 2 casters classes. I mean assassains arent casters neither are paragons and dervish's and ritualists dont pack much damage. I wanna see another caster class, they can steal ideas from neverwinter nights becasue im sure no one would notice and there are good ideas in that game!

QFT lol! ...I can't believe people are already anticipating chapter 4 o.O

I would vote more of a command type profession that has a mini army of npcs that can actually be TOLD WHERE TO GO without them complaining...like normal people, or not understanding like minions(and some normal people >.<)

dont blam the minions its not their falt they got no brains mr "i cant summon brains for my brainless minion" necromancer.

Wtf? I didnt really understand that... What do you mean?

Me neither.

he says the minions dont understand thats because they dont have brains they dont have brains because the necromancer dosent summon brains for them because he fears they will be smart enough to rebel agenst him.

youre really weird.




... stay away from me.

We already have a Kamakazi, they named it Assassin :P

Something with a massive 2-handed sword. RAWR!

Actually, thats really all I could think of...2-handed swords and maces...

So maybe a superKnight, with a big ol' 2H sword...and a Berserker with a mace/flail/large spikey ball that crushes things...

Maybe we'll even see classes that share attributes, a new class that also revolves around Swordsmanship?

Melee that involves body control:

Ie:

Throws, Shoves, Wrestling Locks, Pins

No one would notice is they stole from DnD? Well, I guess not... pretty much every fantasy based game does already.

Well they could always go with my Samurai idea, with a melee units that slices through targets with movement attacks.

Haha, hard not to :~)

And yeah... Neverwinter Nights is based directly on DnD. Nothing is "stolen" because it is supposed to be a game a version of DnD.

I want to see hand to hand (not wrestling holds... or pins... it's going to look lame when you are grappling with a rot wallow or something) but fist fighting. Kicking, punching, etc. Could use things like katars. I ask you... is it a Shocking Katar of Fortitude... or tesla glove ...

Or someone that fights with a staff. Not a magical staff... a quarter staff. WHACK!

Brass knuckles FTW!
Sundering Brass Knuckles of Fortitude... *dreams*

On a serious note:
I do like the idea of Samurai.
