Just thinking that a ghast would be fun to play. You could scurry around the battlefield, annoying the hell out of enemies when you hit them in the ankles with your club.

Not really sure how it would be an agent of the inquisition though...

Assorted tribes or clans of the small creatures know as Ghasts are typically avoided or purged upon discovery. However as the Veil between worlds becomes thinner, most people have forgotten about such small annoyances, and the Ghasts themselves have begun to fall prey to the terrors emerging from the Fade. Most tribes have broken and fled, but a small band of the creatures have taken notice of the straight walker with the green fist, and how the mean things from the dark places go away when the 'In-qis-atr' passes. Co-operation among the Ghasts themselves is tenuous at best, and co-operation between them and other races of Thedas is so rare as to be nonexistent, but in the face of the greater threat posed by the Tear these small goblin-like monsters have come offering their services to the Inquisition in return for protection.

 

Pros: Easy to avoid damage, abilities focusing on debilitating large groups of enemies.

 

Cons: Very small health pool, weak overall damage output.

 

Skills: The Ghast's abilities favors small, quick attacks, as well as relying on distracting actions to keep enemies; and their deadly weapons; away from it and its allies. (Some examples are listed below)

Spoiler

 

 

Firebomb - This minor spell, launches an impressive orb of fire at a target location that will erupt into a wall of flame when it strikes it's target, disorienting, and potentially terrifying groups of enemies.

 

Strategy: Players should focus on using this spell as an area denial tool or a means of last resort. The damage of the Ghast's magic is very low compared to other characters; the debilitating effects of this power are real advantage of this ability.

 

 

Minons - The Ghasts' diminutive size and cowardly nature is quickly overcome when a horde of the beasts begins to work in concert. Using it's position as leader the Ghast can call to members of its tribe for aid in combat. This ability can be upgraded to provide the Ghast with a greater number of followers, or to have a small retinue of elite (for a Ghast) bodyguards.

 

Strategy: A steady supply of NPC 'meat shields' can be all the difference between a Ghast player surviving an encounter, or being one of the first to go down.

 

 

Everything is bigger - Being small and lithe means that the Ghast can get into hide-y holes easier, or scramble out of danger quicker, but a hit that would barley scratch a dwarf will send the small creature sprawling. The Ghast has an extra 15% dodge rating, but all damage received hits 1.5 times harder. (Innate Attribute)

 

Strategy: A Ghast looking to go toe to toe with a Behemoth is a soon to be dead Ghast; avoidance and distraction is the name of the game.

 

 

Equipment: Ghasts are renowned scavengers, it is not surprising in the least to see one such creature with a Dwarven helmet, Elven boots, or even Qunari gauntlets; not that any of those things will fit the Ghast's meager frame. (Some Examples are listed below)

Spoiler

 

Battle Trophy -  This badly dented helmet was taken from a Red Templar Commander after the Ghast defeated him in personal combat; at least according to the Ghast wearing it. In addition to providing increased damage protection this helmet inspires loyalty/fear in the tribe, leading to the NPCs of the 'Minions' ability to have more health and damage.

 

Super Magic Stick - This muck covered tree branch serves as an improved focus of the Ghast's spells, making abilities like 'Firebomb' capable of dealing increased damage/area of effect.

 

Thumping Rock - Used as a means of keeping complaining Ghasts in line this nicely shaped stone is also perfect for whacking unsuspecting foes in the back of the head, or crushing their toes; whichever is easier to reach. Equipping this item will allow the Ghast to inflict critical hits on flanking attacks.

A character who really focuses on DoT, if there isn't one already.

I'm not sure what class it would be but...how awesome would it be to have a Grey Warden?

I wouldn't be surprised if they added a whole set of them at some point, much like when they added the N7s to ME3.

I do enjoy playing DoT characters, but I have a feeling that they would need at least one quicker acting attack to be very viable, otherwise they would simply shine against bosses, and be crap against mooks, and i image you will be spending more time fighting through mobs than taking on bosses.  Hmm, unless the DoT also applied some kind of combo priming effect on weaker enemies.

I've been thinking about this... and trying to get a discussion started in an existing thread. Thank you for quickstarting it (or is kickstarting? O_o).

 

Anyways... yeah. The fights seem a little too fast for a DoT-based character. The most dynamic class in FFXIV was Arcanist, which was focused on DoT. I loved it. From what I perceive, the essence of DoT is not necessarily on fighting bosses, but rather on engaging multiple enemies, one after the other, instead of nuking one by one or using AoEs. Then, if the DoT is powerful enough, it should compensate for not nuking the enemies. When you nuke, you end up taking less damage... so, to compensate for that, the DoT would have to allow you to kill the whole group of enemies much faster, then killing all, by nuking.

 

Considering the speed of the fights, I'm thinking focusig on DoT upgrades probably won't be very viable. Although in late game there may be cases of groups of tougher enemies, who last long even if you're in high level yourself. Then, if the DoT daage is high enough, it could work, I suppose.

I love this!

[Saboteur-6]

I really liked the design behind Fade Demons - specifically Desire Demons. Maybe some sort of 'reformed' or 'indebted servitude' type of Demon (to justify the lore)? Probably a Mage class?

 

[Saboteur-6]

I wouldn't be surprised if they added a whole set of them at some point, much like when they added the N7s to ME3.

 

 

 

N7 Classes were some of the most uniquely designed expansion classes so I'd be all for a "Grey Warden" set.

[Yobel]

Simple - mabari. With a unique skills like stunt, bite, threaten, summon human/elven/qunari/other allies, buff allies with a bark.

[Ser Jynx]

Earth mage.

[Silvershroud]

I want a water mage!  I don't think I've ever seen one in a game, but it has so much potential: dehydrating and drowning people, walls of water to slow down projectiles, flooding an area to slow down enemies...  But anything that claims to be a water mage of some kind always ends up just freezing people solid, or throwing icicles at them.

[Pistolized]

If new characters were to be added, their backstories would have to be acceptable for the Inquisition. So I'll pick from the unrepresented factions. Like recruits/loans from the other nations. Then, in the vein of the later ME MP characters, have weird quirks that stretch or break the established rules.

Grey Warden (along with new enemy Darkspawn faction...)(very active shield abilites, no passive guarding abilites)(passives against Darkspawn only)
Dalish Warrior (actually DW rogue, but with very aggressive and warrior-ish abilities)
Dalish Hunter/Craftsman (passive arrow types using traps/lures on arrows)(get a few extra/free potions)
Avvar Barbarian (all about 'detonating' cross-class-combos, ineffective at everything else)
Rivaini Seer (summon and/or possess herself with different spirits, providing wildly differing abilities and attributes)
Antivan mage (very good at resisting physical attacks (assassins))
Nevarran mage (necromancing and 'death' magic)
Provings champion - melee, one or more potion slots taken by crossbow abilites with limited number of bolts (very good at 1v1 fights, and vice versa)
Qunari-specific something or other...

[DarthLinebacker]

Antivan Crow
Chevalier
Tal-Vashoth Musketeer(GUNPOWDAH HO!)
Proving Champion
Dalish Warrior/Hunter
Valor/Faith/Hope/Justice/Compassion Spirit
Mabari
Golem
Darkspawn Disciple(As well as Darkspawn Faction)
Blood Mage(though balancing health without healing would be difficult)
Repentant Venatori

[Silvershroud]

Blood Mage(though balancing health without healing would be difficult)

Would probably need something like DA2's Grave Robber spell, or a Sacrifice spell that works on enemies.

[DuskWanderer]

I would like to see: 

 

Bard (Rogue)

 

Force Mage (Mage)

 

Berserker (Warrior)

[viperidae]

Personally i'd love to see some sort of magical rogue. We've had arcane warriors, spirit warriors and templars but no actual magically-induced rogues. Even if it's just something like a Templar Assassin/Templar Archer i'd be happy.

 

As far as warriors go, i do like the avvar warrior concept. But in the vein of experimentation, i'd give a warrior the ability to dual-wield one-handed swords and make a class around that, using rogue talents with warrior passives or something.

 

For mages, i love shapeshifters but i've no idea how to make that feasibly work, without it being a LOT more work than any other MP class they make. Blood mage and Force Mage would be cool to see back. Something that would also be interesting is a "merged-possesed" Mage, like Justice-Anders.

[Morroian]

Chasind

Bard

Blood Mage

Force Mage

 

Force mage yes please. 

[adun12345]

I'd be most excited for classes that complicate the general roles for each class.  My understanding thus far is that warriors = tanking, rogues = dps, and mages = support (though obviously with some variation).  But I'd be most excited for classes that totally break this basic correlation.

 

I think my favorite idea thus far has been a Bard, a rogue that can fulfill the "support" role, buffing/shielding allies and mass cc'ing enemies.

[DarthLinebacker]

Force mage yes please.

Can you say Gravitic Ring in a choke point?

[KR4U55]

Awoken Darkspawn will eventually make an appearance...Mark my words!  It doesn't matter if we wiped out the Collectors Awoken, they're coming back!

 

On a semi-serious note, I'd like to see Ash Warrior with their own Mabari Companion. 

This is coming people. Bother Bioware enough and they do stuff.
