Int/Dex hybrid class speculation...

I'm in agreement that the sixth class will likely be an assassin-type. I also believe the character will be female to balance against the three males already announced.

The name is up for debate of course. Assassin? Possible, but unlikely due to the negative connotation associated with it. Rogue would likely work, since the name has been used and overused to the point of being a staple in the majority of RPGs.

I would like to see a non-human class. Perhaps an Imp? How you play it could make it assassin\thief or even trickster. It would be on the dark magic side and makes sense for int\dex. Plus avoids icky gender issue.

By the looks of it the game could use more summon magic period... but it should be open to the mage type (in the spirit of the games ability to customize your character).

Likewise with beast taming - good idea, but why limit.

Ninja will always be a huge disappointment OR completely broken. Don't try to walk on sacred ground... you might as well make some sort of steam-punk pirate type.

The option I like after reading posts is the Monk though. Lots of goodness there.

Based on the INT/DEX items it's going to be something in the vein of Monk/Assassin from D2.

All the INT/DEX items are claws/gloves/etc. so it will be a melee style character as opposed to an arcane archer.

Of course the character class name is all flavor. As there are no class specific skills we already have all the game mechanic relevant information about the character. It uses both INT and DEX to equal effect.

Well a range type would make most sense do to the fact we already have 3 melee but one 2 range class, so a mix of str and magic gave templar one, I could see dex and magic would be a trikster / hypnotist, but never know to they have released it.

What about a Druid ? In most of the RPG I've played they kind of use both Int/Dex,

Wondering which kind of gameplay though, looks like a melee character is missing.

I'm hoping it'll be some kind of cleric/healer type character. Being on the opposite end of strength, they'd need high maneuverability to make up for their lack of physique to avoid attacks. Fits the mold well enough.

I envision the 6th character being something dark and a little unique.

Possibly a blend of both an Assassin and Necromancer in play-style -- a cloaked figure that uses it's magical powers to manifest ghostly spirits from the Nether-world!

A "GhostMage" *smiles* now that would be cool!!

Ahhh...I see that a ton of new Curse skills have been added with the latest beta patch install.

We just might see that new GhostMage character yet!

So long as it isn't an obligatory *cutesy* character I don't mind.

Something a bit different I hope. A ghostly highwayman with pistols and whips...

....or a Torturer along the lines of 'Shadow of the Torturer' by Gene Wolfe.
