wish they still keep making newer jobs

[XxobZenxX]

I feel that RO in general needs even more job classes.

Some classes I hope that gets invented in RO are..

Necromancer and Druid types

or any job classes that seem either a bit more sinister or just outworldly

[Sarin]

I'd like some "darker" classes...would be fun.

Summoners, hm...I wonder how'd they be implemented (kinda reminds me of Diablo II, always wondered how's possible to summon humanoid skeleton from remnants of, for example, pocurpine...or ghost). Or shapeshifting? Changing race would be fun.
Other thingies I'd like to see would be like "endower" battemages, that would specialize on spells to buff their attack with weapons, class specialized on throwing weapons, or...hum,some kinda of antimage class with specialized skills against magic....

But chance of seeing those in RO is minimal. Best would probably be to make a server with those, but that's hellot work.

After what Gravity is doing with 3rd jobs... no more jobs, please!

Sarin

true indeed, it would be much work to make each new sprites with new movement.  And speaking of Diablo 2 esque skills that could be implemented on new characters, I don't think they would allow an ability like corpse explosion and such.

And the anti mage classes would be great too, with high magick resistances and such.

and Tom

I didn't mean putting a fourth job change or nothing if that is what you got out of my topic, but something more like gunslingers and ninja but a lot more sinister or otherworldly is all.

[Sarin]

Hum...skills working with corpse would probably be, because of their fast disappearing in RO, (de)buffs that would do something upon target's death. Corpse explosion...meh, would be fun, just use it on enemy paladin and bring him down...KABOOM. Wipe.

Oh yea, D2 skills...they'd be fun, like bone spear, frozen orb, etc...imagine those at WoE.

Getting these to game...they'd have to go through usual 1st class-2nd class (trans)-3rd routine, so they'd be as powerful and as slow to level as 3rds, to make them playable but not so easy to level. Perhaps branching them as another "main" classes from normal 1st, like...mage->necromancer->high mage->lich->great lich.

[Tom~]

Oh, sorry about that :x

Well, I saw a server with that kind of jobs. "The bosses lair", if i'm not wrong?

[Omni]

Necromancy would be fun.

[orix1357]

Your best bet are servers which implement the Special Jobs from Ragnarok Online DS: Shaman and Dark Knight.

[Xarale]

I always wondered why Gravity never implemented a job that involved use of shadow magic/skills.  There was rumoured to be a Jiang Shi class 2-3 years ago, but it never got implemented, nor does it look likely to be implemented anytime soon.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like this, though I'd rather get settled into the 3rd classes first.

[mahawirasd]

well sarin, thrown weapons = ninja right? xP no love for the ninjas...

summoners... would be hard to really make something special coz imho an alchemist has enough variety of "summons" at his disposal...

corpse explosion = that sin skill that no one seems to use enough...

gah RO has too many frozen skills already... they really should buff that frost nova skill a bit though imho...

[Idola The Witty]

Ooo I wish I saw this topic earlier.
I'm not sure why but the traditional jobs get somewhat..dull after playing them for a while. Having a larger selection of classes would make things interesting once again.

By throwing, I meant more skills with it, and more variety. Throwing spears (and not just by one skill), axes, knives...I meant class that would really specialize in these. Ninja throwing skills are lame.

And there is not too many summons...a few static plants, and homun...I meant stuff that would really follow you around, and so...if you played D2 you'd know what I am talking about.

Corpse explosion =/= venom splasher. It's different...corpse explosion was used on corpse to make it explode for high % of its max hp (it was I think 60-100). Venom splasher just deals some damage to target.

[XxobZenxX]

I think the Druid and the Amazon in Diablo 2 can throw spears if I remember correctly

Also, corpse explosion pretty gory but from what I understand very damaging to the enemies as well.

Seriously though, most of the RO classes seems too "good" or "neutral." That's probably why some of us find some character classes rather dull.

Third jobs were a decent addition but it really just made you more of who you are in essence.

I mean if they made expanded classes like Gunslinger, Taekwon, and Ninja I know most of us would appreciate something like Necromancer, Druid, Barbarian, hell even witch doctor would be good too.

[Sarin]

Amazon could focus on throwing spears, even had some unique spears for that...but any class could use some, but just Amazon had related skills.

Well, "dark" classes would be indeed interesting...but as extended, nope. They'd have to be comparable to 3rds in power, and unless you make them go through similar long leveling process, too easy and thus too played. They should be extension, not replacement.

And, witch doctor..hmm, like in Warcraft 3? "Da bi gud choice, mon"

[XxobZenxX]

come to think of it I think you are right about extended classes not being that great.  After all the extended classes we have now are not that great.


Posted on: Nov 06, 2009, 03:33 pmbasically if a necromancer type class was in this game I could imagine something like

novice -> cultist (i made that name up) -> Necromancer -> trans high novice -> high cultist -> Lich
