Starting Class?

What do you think the starting classes will be?

We already know that wanderer is back, and we will most likely have knight because of dat armor, but the rest we will have to see!

Im hoping for there to be some pikeman class.

I want a samurai class.

$20 on Knight being a starting class.

I want a Necromancer since zombies seem to be a big thing now. An eastern Samurai like class would be rad as well

a sentinel. an even less mobile knight who starts with a greatshield and a spear. higher endurance than vit. thats just wishful thinking

yeah some kind of tank like character with a low grade heavy set armor and a great shield maybe not a spear though that would be an OP starter lol possibly a halberd of sorts or just a straight sword

I would definitely love to see a dual wielding samurai. Wakizashi and Tanto as starting weapons with a short bow. Mmmm...yes please.

Dual shield sentinel? Muahahaha

yusss a starter class that dual wields no shield

Knight (FTH/STR)
Sorcerer (INT)
Cleric (FTH)
Barbarian (STR)
Pyromancer (INT/STR)
Hunter (DEX)
Wanderer (DEX/STR)
And Something with perfectly balanced stats

Are there any others that I forget which tend to be the "default" class types?

You left out the deprived/barbarian class, but aside from that I think it looks good.

I want a class you unlock after beating the game on SL1 or another common challenge run. Something that is a reward for being a dedicated or skilled player. Maybe it is just an aesthetic change, but it's be a neat one.

That sounds about right, except I expect at least one new class like a Paladin or something. The way DkD2 is looking, they may bring back some DeS classes that got removed from DkS.

I'd like a soldier with heavy armor, and a small shield and a pike.

yeah, liking this.

would be good if you could start off as a certain class, but progress through to reach the top tier as you level up, maybe start as puny alter boy. . .end up as a fully fledged, face wreckin' Paladin

maybe it could have some link to a covenant. . .become a darkwraith Paladin or something?

Not sure how it could affect gameplay, I think your stats shouldnt alter no matter what 'type' or level of class you are, however, your level as a paladin would affect a certain few weapons like Grant, and maybe the power of some miracles, or the defensive abilities of your armour or shield. . .

kinda like bonuses that you only get if you focus on a pure build. Keeps it balanced and adds interesting elements to creating a build.

Class that SL is 1

Or... Royalty or something Like a Wanderer

Wanderer
Knight

I hope for them to keep the Pyromancer. Something authentic like Samurai or Janissary would be nice too.

They should totally have comedic classes, like a clown or a bear.
That would be so cool and fit in with the game perfectly.
Right guys? LOL! Yeah Right!

ha, like a pi$$ed up village idiot.

Armour - cardboard box with a sun on the front
Weapon - half eaten leg of fried chicken and the bucket for a helmet!

fearsome

Ha ha ha!
I can picture it now.
The sun on the front would have to be drawn on with a piece of coal or something.
His weapon would start out as a whole chicken leg but degrades by him eating it slowly.
lol!

Wanderer ftw

Thief must be included, it's too unique not to. Warrior and/or cleric will be included. I wouldn't be surprised if there's something completely new. Maybe one specifically for dark magicz. Pyro if included will likely not be optimal for pvp, seeing as it has been abused much like Royal from DeS. Chances are some unexpected class will be optimized for us
