I just think monsters are Neat! (he/him)
Are there any old classes that are tied to settings? Artificer was Eberron, and Psion is likely Dark Sun. I wonder if they'll continue this pattern in the future?
I do think Warlord would make the most sense, it's got the most recognizable name and concept I've heard, and it has the fan demand I've seen online (not a perfect sample size, though.)

GreyLord
Legend
A Real Assassin, not the archtype they have, but an actual Assassin Class.
Or, perhaps...a
Cavalier Class.
Just as valid as the Warlord Class.
They are prior full classes (as opposed to prestige) from Hardcover D&D books that are no longer classes now.
Though, I suppose in theory they could combine the Marshall (though that was more a miniatures HB class) with the Warlord.

The differences between the marshal and the warlord are pretty minimal. I wouldn't be surprised if the warlord started off as the marshal during 4E development and was renamed during the process.

The Marshal/Warlord feels like the biggest missing role from the line-up (my group ended up using the A5e version which served quite nicely).
Myself and some of my other players really loved the 4e swordmage and their highly mobile brand of ‘tanking’, but I don’t see this current dev team having the desire or sensibilities to pull off something like that for 5(+)e. I think the time for that class to appear would have been in the “Tasha’s” era, but we got the Bladesinger instead.
I think the Shaman would work as a Druid subclass, maybe one that can channel spirits in place of wildshape uses.

Personally, I think we have too many classes already. If it were up to me I would make Artificer a Rogue subclass and Psion, Sorcerer and Warlock Wizard Subclasses make Warlord a Cleric subclass and Shaman a Druid subclass.

How should the Swordmage be implemented in 1DnD?
