How will you implement the Space Wolves "Wolf Priests", that act as both Apothecary and Chaplains? This is unique to the Space Wolves. Wolf Priests Added by Algrim Whitefang http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Apothecary Apothecary = combat medic type class in a game setting with standard SM weaponry. Chaplain = group buffs, individual buffs, magical attacks via relic weapons. Surely you cant just set these facts aside, or pretend like it's not part of the lore if you're going to have either class in game, or both classes in game along with having the Space Wolves as one of the 4 playable factions at launch.
A wolf priest is a hybrid indeed but there are a few other units that work as hybrids, so it could be implemented with 1/faction Not sure if every faction has a dual-class archetype though... SM and CSM has a few, Eldar and Ork on the other hand are quite specialised... :/ Autarchs though are essentially hybrids Orks... ? Erm... ^^; Wierdboy? Naah...
weirdboy could be caster like SM's librarians,eldar's farseers,etc.hybrids could be progress-unlockables.
Well technically speaking, there are some units in TT that possess more "classes" in them. One of the examples for it was the Wolf Priest, other being the Autarch. Since they possess more then one classes skills and knowledge, they'd need to make a new one for them. So yea, its fusing together roles into a new class. In case of the Wolf Priest, he is a healer and a buffer/debuffer melee specialist. Closest thing you can get as an example would be a paladin in fantasy games. But they'd just need to make a Wolf Priest class. Since its unique, it will be just have equal mirrors in other factions, like possibly an Autarch or a Corsair/Pathfinder as an Eldar (since there are not that many Autarchs). I'm just picking ideas, but not sure how they will implement it if at all
Wolf Priest was just one example, hopefully each Faction and "Chapter" within each faction will have their unique hybrid classes that are based off the lore. I could be going out on a limb here, but I really don't think 40K die hards want to see exact mirriors for each class for all factions.
Mirrors were just a play with words What I ment is more of an equivalent on the other faction, rather then a mirror. Since it would be quite impossible, due to these units uniqueness =)
They did say they would have unique skills and abilities based on race and faction (ie wolf priests/apothecary(and i hope sanguine priest im a wolf but I like a good opponent )ect)
They did say that there will be unique skills and abilities for your race, faction and class, this much is confirmed
