[QUOTE="Ktulu, post: 4071815, member: 13465"] I've seen some discussion on the two build options for the rogue (both for and against). I haven't seen anyone speculating on other class build options, so I figured I'd see what everyone thinks: Here are the ones we know/can easily assume: Rogue: Brawny rogue, trickster rogue Fighter: Two-handed fighter, sword & board fighter Ranger: Two-weapon ranger, Archer Ranger Speculations: Wizard: Staff, wand, Orb. I get the feeling that the build options for the wizard may be more linked to the items than they're letting on. It makes sense, seeing how the aboves focus on different tools (primarily) for the class. Warlock: Fey, Demonic, Outer planes. This, too, makes sense as the build type, as they've pretty much confirmed the three in another article. I noticed that, taking this into consideration, arcane characters would have more than 2 build options. This would also make sense, figuring that there are a number of different weapons and options for martial characters to be different (swords/axes/bows/etc...), but wizards and warlocks will have a finite number of spells to choose from, so giving them a few more options is a good idea. Total guesses: Paladin: Undead fightin' paladin, Demon/devil fightin' paladin - This is only a guess, as the paladin and fighter are quite similar in role and weapons used, so they would likely want to make sure his builds were linked heavily towards his divine role. Cleric: I don't really have a guess for this one, being a leader makes it tougher to figureout..which brings me to: Warlord: This one's got me stumped. A friend suggested maybe a leadership VS warrior role, allowing him to choose a more up front fighter type vs the stands in the back and plans type. I'm stumped on this one. Ktulu [/QUOTE]
