New Dual Class Elite Skills/Races in CH 5?!?

So, I was reading the EU forums earlier today to see if any light could be shead on our current US server issues... and I stumbled across a thread stating that on the www.runesdatabase.com fansite there are currently a bunch of new skills for warrior, priest, rogue, and mage listed. The skill level of these skills correspond to the current level breaks between elite skills. There are two new skills for each level break.

Definitely fuels suspicions ;)

I like where this is going. Those levels seem to be off by a lot because elite skills already exist at those levels. It may not be elite skills, there are a lot of new mechanics these skills would bring to the table for each class. Also a couple of classes do not have any new skills listed still. They might be reworks of old elite skills that are broken (The more I look at them, this becomes more and more likely). Thanks for bringing this up. It might be too soon to say new races, but these skills look very promising. It may be at the end of Ch4 for all we know, they do have the new level 65 Moa Weapons in the game and those were closely tied with elite skills.

Somewhere in the EU forum i posted this image, just a screenshot I made (ingame screnshot, regular game client). Looks like we may (or may not) get two new classes in the future. At this point i can only speculate about that.

That is interesting, although I do also remember seeing a gun skill on the skill tab when I first started playing the game. So anything is possible I guess.

Does anyone happen to have info on the other clients out there? I remember hearing some of them had all the classes unlocked or something and that they were in a chapter ahead of ours

"Harpsyn" and "Psyron"? Ooh! Sounds like a bard class and a mental/psi class. I was wondering if we were ever going to get new classes, so hopefully this means we will. :D

Oh come on, you mean to tell me that you wouldn't want to play as the Fandreith class. Where you had skills to like, tell awesome stories to all the mobs and make the bosses reconsider why it is that they stand at their dungeon location waiting for a nice group of heroes to steal his loot, instead of just like opening a shop in the instance to sell the gear that everyone wants. I would like to roll in as P/F and make all the bosses get Fan'd (TM).

Although I'm sure the class description might be a bit lengthy...

That makes more sense now as to why there are only 2 elite skills for each of the non-race locked classes.
We may very well get these two classes, they seem to have odd mechanics in the skills.
Either way, I like where this is going.

Saw this as well. One skill in particular caught my eye:

Suspicious, yes... but I doubt they could whip-up new classes & elites just to distract from problems.

Me thinks these have probably been on their road map for some time, and are finally starting to come over the horizon based on the tidbits of info trickling down.

As it stands now, we know the name of the next two classes, and their elite skills. I would have thought the next logical progression of in-game race would have been dwarves... but the classes listed do not really seem dwarven.


Could these be Zurhidon classes? :confused:

we were thinking on paleqnue, an in game related to thestory character, Dwarve, Khalon, Centaurin, Limon, Cat people(lol.. due to valley ofglory) an extension onto the elven class, or sumthing original.

Wow, was browsing runesdatabase yesterday when I saw those skills, thought they looked like elites so came here hoping to see any news on them.
Still no more info, but like some of the ideas I've seen.

Did notice that some classes have two elite like skills listed, others only one, so it does kind of give the idea of race based exclusion (like no druid/priest), or possibly class overlap. Of it could simply be unfinished at present.

I'll be watching with my scout's detection running constantly.

lol gigi was doing so good on typing till you got him all excited aboutt he fandreith thing, now he's illegible again xD

if they're gonna do something with dark damage, they should freakin fix altar of shadoj while they're at it!

and mages casting while moving... you know, if they give mechanics that don't oneshot you, and give you reasonable time to react to things, that would be a useful thing! 'i'm in fire, i died =/= i'm in fire, i'm moving out, and casting this spell, so i can cast spells while moving out of the fire. hey look, i lived, and now i can get healed?? and i got to do things???? that's what i'm talkin about.

ROFLSNORT!!! Oh god lol, can you imagine? It would tax my typing skillz. But you do have a good point- why do the bosses just stand around waiting for us to pwn them and steal their loot? The pen is mightier than the sword after all... why can't we all be friends? And Annelia would make kind of an OK guildie, as long as she only cast Burst Bones on the other guys in siege. Talk about epeen tho... but she can't buy megas so.. yah it'd be OK. That'd be like the Druid skill on ACID.

Ok, on-topic- this is actually kind of exciting. New classes, new races... could be really awesome. Could be terrible, could be amazing. A bard-type could be fabulous. Personally, I think RoM always had enough classes- I just wish they had more races. Elves are okish (their ears are too big for my aesthetic tastes), humans are boring.

Here's hoping that we'll see fixed siege before they roll out Chapter 5 or a new level cap though. And it would be really fantastic if Palenque could clear GCH and ToSH hm before too *groans*.

Well, if you check the 'energy' requirements for the new skills, it's either MP, rage, or focus. MP is seen for the Priest primary new skills... whereas both rage and focus are seen in skills from Mage, Rogue, Warrior and Priest. So presumably the 2 'new classes' use rage and focus.

Also, quite a few skills have the term 'rune' in them. I almost want to believe the new classes (or at least 1 of them) are "rune" based, kind of like how the zhuridon seemed to work.

Just thought I'd point these out. Btw, I have been nerd raging so hard since finding these, lol.

I've been doing some research myself, putting together pieces of the puzzle.

Psyron seems to be the one that uses Focus, although not sure. I'd be willing to bet this is a shorter ranged class that primarily is a debuffing or damage dealing class. If I'm right about it using Focus, it probably has some insane burst damage much like Rogues.
Harpsyn one seems to use Rage and temporary buffs/states. I think this is the one that uses the Blood Runes, probably similar to the Druids' Nature Power. I'm still wondering about this class and its primary mechanics, it's hard to tell. R/H seems to have a ton of new traps, including taunting and fearing ones. I'm really looking forward to this one.

I'd love to see a new race, not sure if it is going to be Zurhidon, but we will see. Their story doesn't really lend itself to being friendly to Elfs and Humans. I'm just going to throw it out there, I think the next race will be Naga or Kalonian (Rhino People). The Nagas were kind of forced into slavery by the Zurhidons and didn't have much of a choice. Kalons were friendly with the dwarves but then the whole Sismond story came to ruin everything for them.

Either way, both of these classes and possible races seem like they will fit into the game very well.
