Mage Knight ish class?

Sup!

Just got wind of this game and must say it looks fancy, i haven´t tested the game Yet (no key) but untill i can play i thought i might aswell gather some information.

So i was checking out the Witch and the Templar and im torn on wich one to play with.

So i have a few questions.
I tend to play as a hybrid Melee Mage (or Mage Knight as i call them) character and what i have seen Templar seem to fit that spot, but do they have any "range" ish skills at all?

I fancy Swords so ill probebly go with 1 handed or 2 handed (are there 2h swords?), depends on what type of Off hand there are in this game(dont like shields that much).

I saw that Templars can enchant there melee attack with elements and i find that awsome, can the Witch do the same? i might roll a Witch if The Templar lacks any range attacks (while usiong a sword)

So yeah in short:
What type of Off hands are there.
Are there 2 handed swords? (just incase there are no intresting Off hand items)
Do Templar have Ranged spells/skills
Do Witches have some kind of melee skills/spells or Elemental Enchanting thingy
Wich one resembels a "Mage Knight" ish class?
Can Templars/Witches use Swords 1-2 handed? (i´m guessing templars can but ill ask anyway)


I´ll probebly play as a Melee to mid range DPS´er if possible.

My only problem i se with the Templar is that they remind me of a Paladin, and i dont feel like playing a tanky aura buffer Meat shield (like the Diablo 2 Paladin....eww), and im worried the Witch cant be in Melee range.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: uuuuh im preeettyyy sure i posted this in the General Discussion...owell

Shields or dual wield (you can dualwield any one haanded weapon including wands)

Yes.

Do Templar have Ranged spells/skills

Classes have no skills, they come from gems.

Classes have no skills, they come from gems.

Probably Templar

All classes are the same, classes really mean nothing in this game aside for 3 things, how your char looks, your initial stat distribution and your starting position in the tree. I suggest you look at the skill tree

Hmm ok, ill try the Templar then!, and yeah i ment gems but i thought Gems had some kind of class Restriction or something.

and Oh, so shields are the only "off hands only" avable ? hmm guess i´ll se how dual wield is otherwise ill use 2 handed swords.

Thanks alot ReZar!
