I don’t see any form of healing class fitting into combat. It sounds like a balancing nightmare.
The balance is already hard. And the time they develop it, the game will be far more balance than now. It will be the same thing for all the content that they will released.
And you don’t have to do a classical healer like every fantasy rpg. You can do a kind of healer.
I keep the priest of Sigmar as an example. They are all warrior, the hammer is their symbol (like Ulric). What you usually do with this kind of character is to put a hammer and a shield and keep it for saving your troup/character from chaos with the light of Sigmar. And have soft healing (for the RPG part) directly in the first line.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a new class and I’ve always enjoyed the healer roll. I’m just not sure how it would fit into groups. Maybe the only healing he/she provides is from an ult similar to Krubers, but the health is permanent?
K I’ve a lot of idea about it. Like for exemple career with only one kind of weapon (almost like the dwarf killer) but with an additional spell on the Q. Like a “bolt” of light of Sigmar. That would bring more diversity on the game.
If you wanna think about the potential career’s skill of the Sigmar’s priest. It could be a call to Sigmar. For 5 sec the temporary life is permanent life instead (or just at the begin or end depend on the balance) and the chaos kind is slow by 20%.
The number are here just to give an idea, but it could be a way. There is plenty of idea possible. I will try to develop it and post it in a relatively close futur if some people are interested in.

An actual High elf would be interesting… I can already imagine the classes: Loremaster, Swordmaster, and Mage. One melee focused, One magic/ranged focused, and one hybrid.
I’m just glad you’re not in charge of this

High Elve are my favorite ! And i think we can make 2 heroes with them.
A man, with White lion of Chrace (melee damage), Phenix guard (tank), shadow warrior (distance).
A women with sister of avelorn , Mistress of Hoeth and a Dragon born mage.
That would be awesome ! (I just have to work in it ^^).
I didn’t know of the tepid alliance between the vamps and the humans… I try to avoid End times lore, due to the stigma, but doesn’t that kinda makes a vamp character somewhat possible? I’d be interested, but i have no idea what FatShark is willing to do. A new character would be very difficult.
I can’t image that we’d get more than one potential new character, if any at all.
It seems to me that a high elf would be a pretty good blend of exotic and lore friendly, i mean we’ve already been to a high elven ruin.
If we do get a high elf (unlikely i know), i’ll riot if we dont get a class as a swordmaster.
Mistress od hoeth is a sword master
Weird, i can’t find anything on them. Either way i want one lol
Well, it would be even worse if someone whose only “arguments” consist of ad hominems would be in charge (you).
Admittedly, he didn’t claim to have an argument, it was only a comment. Not everything has to be a debate, buddy.

I never claimed to have any arguments and you don’t know what an ad hominem is.

I expect someone who disagrees to engage in a civilized and logical discourse instead of spewing unproductive and pointless ad hominems and making fools of themselves in the process.
“fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.”
I maybe miss translate. I think the real word is : Master of knowledge. It’s basicly a swoardmaster with basic spell of each of the 8 winds.
Given our choices for careers, I’d say they have much more room than you believe.
Which would actually work, given how they currently explain how each character went into their different careers.
That’s not entirely true. Only Dark Elves can be shades. And even then, there are specific conditions needed to be a shade. Kerillian wouldn’t be able to just change to being a shade arbitrarily. Same goes for going from a waywatcher to being a hand maiden. A change of which deity they follow isn’t the only thing required.
That’s not true. She could also manipulate/use them for her own gains. Either way, becoming a dark elf out of the blue doesn’t make much sense. It makes even less sense when you consider her history with the group of heroes.
That can’t be true when you consider what they’ve already done.
In the end, the most important thing here is what is fun to play. Lore is cool, but I could care less if there is some bending here and there to allow stuff like Kerillian being a Shade or some other thing in the future. These new options are very enjoyable and that counts for the most here. You have to weigh options. To make a 100% lore-accurate game that caters to a handful of people versus making a game that will make lots of profit, stimulate growth, and become a game enjoyed by the masses. The latter will probably give things like DLC, lots of new content, more patches, a possible 3rd game, and so on.
Some people want to play as one of these unique identities(slayer, shade, unchained, etc.) and adding “careers” is a great way to do it without dumping tons of resources into designing new characters and then somehow tying them into the existing group of characters. There actually is a good way to do it(bring new characters in), but this isn’t the thread to discuss that.
I love lore myself, but given all of this is fiction, making exceptions occasionally isn’t that bad. Especially when it allows for really enjoyable content to play.

Based on a lot of Kerillian’s voice lines, it seems this is the case anyways XD like that one that goes something like “this is my tale of heroism, you all are just sidekicks”.
Ah, the Loremaster, yeah i mentioned him.
Yep i agree. But for kerillian i think they could have done it differently. Wood elves have enough career to deal with it.
And it’s an End time story so that mean a lot of change. Even if this story is subject to discussion, about the end for the biggest part. I found the story line very cool, diving deep in the non Manichaeans world of warhammer. No all the dark elves are not just bad poeple. No all high elve are good.
With a good story we can do a lot of thing ! ^^
