A lot of people suggest new classes and professions, but it seems they can't be added due to not simply "fitting." The current ranking tree for both professions is 2 stepped, but what I am proposing is to add on another layer. Farmer for example, could spec into another, into the Logger or Lumberjack, with different kinds of wood offering different amounts of exp, or having the option of being a botanist with more gains from breaking plants, not just farmed crops. Or a Miner could spec to Geologist (gains more ores, loses ability to escavate) or into a demoman ( TNT usage, escavate, maybe a skill that let's them mine out 9 blocks at a time?)

For the Combat paths too there could be Wizard=> Sorceror, Dragoon => Spartan, Ninja => Lurker, and so on. I just think this will make the stronger classes harder to get, so the other ranks have time to get caught up. (And to have more of a variety of classes of course!)

Think about all the balancing that would have to happen :confused:

A better idea would be to add one extra spec off of each non-spec combat class. Much less balancing would need to be done. Although it still would take a LOOOONNNNGG time.

Herocraft really needs actual content for classes for these kinds of things to have value. Even all the reworks I'm working on only mean so much. Without a real purpose, it will all grow stale very quickly.

The idea of legendaries was brought into herocraft with the classes themselves. There were 4 legendaries: Juggernaut, Assassin, Archmage, and I forget the healer one. But you had to master not only the specs of each base class, but also other classes from different base classes.

EX: Juggernaut - Dragoon, DK, Pally, Samurai + Smith + Ninja + blah blah blah

If you do add another tier, at least make it so they can't pvp base classes, so newbs don't get raped even more than they already do.
