Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark080matter" data-source="post: 4096740" data-attributes="member: 61269">All I want for Christmas is my two favorite classes.....Well well nice I like the topic OP.  Here's my wishlist, complete with relevant links to any ongoing forum discussions being had over at the Wizards message boards. In order of how badly I want it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />1.) <a href="http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1001120" target="_blank">4e Duskblade Thread</a>  I really want this one because it fits one of the NPC characters I'm concepting for my upcoming 4e setting much better than the Swordmage (probably) will.  You can see the thread for more details on that.  Basically the topic of discussion is a Arcane melee  Striker, flavored off the Duskblade from the 3.5 PHBII.  I think it would be a great counterpart to a Swordmage Arcane defender, would really round out the Power source (along with the upcoming Bard, I suppose), and also... I really dig the idea! Good job Wizardmon for his work on it!2.) Another controller for pete's sake!  <a href="http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=997181" target="_blank">Finding the Holy Remote: another divine controller!</a>  This sadly neglected thread, OP'ed by the peerless (and indefatigable!) Ironblue, is a promotion of ideas for a Divine Controller that would actually be very unique in mechanics from the Wizard.  Concepts include the use of "retributive" Prayers that mark allies/terrain/etc. with delayed ranged attacks that trigger at the approach of enemies, and also abjuration-like effects that deny enemies their abilities.  Cool flavor, and it fits the archetype of the evangelizing Inquisitor quite well ("Pelor consecrates this ground, trespass fool and be ye Smote!"  "By the will of Bahamut, molest not my brethren, or face his Divine Wrath!")  Go check it out and post to save this unjustly dying thread (oh yeah also cuz I made a really good contribution to it!)3.) from the Psionic power source, I would quite like to see this: <a href="http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1000494" target="_blank">Psionics and Soulknife?</a>.  Buncha ideas kicking around for taking the Soulknife and somewhat merging it with the Lurk (from Complete Psionic) in order to form a more perfect Union... errr, Psionic melee Striker.  Huh, that makes two melee Strikers I want.  Guess that kinda stuff just excites me.  Oh, as a corollary to this, I suppose that it would make the Psychic Warrior the Defender of Psionics.  But that wouldn't surprise anybody, would it?4.) The Druid!  But not what you think!  In direct opposition to what Wizards has said in R&C about the Druid focusing on shapeshifting more, I want to see the shapeshifting reserved for some other darn class (the Shapeshifter, Primal Striker perhaps?  w/e I guess), and instead make a real Druid: Primal Controller! I can't find any living threads devoted to this anymore, but this class needs to happen! (even if by some other name :\) There is just so much great potential for summoned lightning storms, blasts of wind, insect swarms, terrain-effecting powers, Wild Overgrowth, Earthquakes, etc. that it's mind-bending.5.) well... my last one and I swear I'll leave peacefully.  This is a class that I made!  <a href="http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=15234465&postcount=130" target="_blank">The Dragoon, A truly Martial Controller</a> I won't say much more about this, other than to say it's at the bottom of the list because I can very easily see Wizards choosing not to make a Martial controller for sake of leaving a deliberate gap in the Power source, and also because most of the ideas out there are just a tad too contrived and/or limited (and I almost tend to agree with them...).  It was a fun mental exercise however.Thanks for listening!  Keep some of these great threads alive!</blockquote>
