A friend of mine is a programmer, and he has some code that scans his PC for natural langauage in programs. He just showed me something that could look like a description of a new class, in some code that is most likely currently inactive on Test. It is apparently a "Jester", it could look like it ihas CC and melee dps as focis areas, an enchanter/bezerker hybrid, judging from AA trees.
New Merc I could see. New class, with the current approach to itemization, quests and role doesn't really make sense for the Dev team to commit too.* *considering you can pretty handily make the case they have too many classes to take care of now for the development allotted to the game. Merging classes isn't a way to be popular on the forums though.
