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?
The future of Melee
trebes
NinjaKai
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.

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!

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?

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

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!
Trunce
Brass knuckles FTW!
Sundering Brass Knuckles of Fortitude... *dreams*
On a serious note:
I do like the idea of Samurai.

What about a beast master that can transform into different animals and the like that can do different forms of attacks and even summon pets etc, this opens up a wide variety of attacks and skills for the designers to work with.
I do like the samurai/ninja idea, maybe with smoke bombs to conceal a withdrawel or attack, or breakfalls to escape etc.
Or a wizard, or a shadow master that can flaunt a persons shadow to rise up and fight etc
or a person that can use dust and ashes as weapons, dust from dead bodies, or create dust storms, quicksand, hot ashes? or someone that can ride a horse or other form of beast and use them for their attacking and defensive skills.
Just flicking around a few ideas.

I'd like to see a melee class that relies more on positioning. For example, having an attack that knocks an enemy down when attacking from behind, another attack that interrupts when attacking from the side, an elite attack that ignores armor if used when charging an opponent face on, etc, etc.

Water spit [Preparation] You take a drink and spit water. For 10...45 seconds, your attacks are 50% slower but do 50% more damage.
Moonsault [Finisher] You must be positioned higher than your opponent to pull off this finisher. If Moonsault hits, you do +20...50 damage.
I'm all up for it

easilly the way to go is marital arts, some sort of shaolin monk, with attacks and self meditation
although then what do you give as weaponary ?
but i would like to see another ele type char
or for a laugh (never will be in the game) a jedi

I love the Martial Artist Idea.And the have can have attacks with their hands and fists and the meditation can be easily interupted like traps but if you pull it off you next attack(s) can do like +20 damage or like inflict poison etc. I really like this idea. For attributes that can have Medition, Melee Mastery(primary), Fist Mastery, Legs Mastery, then some sort of self heal.
But of course better names.
