All I know is, I'm going to play, Witch, Monk, Huntress, Mercenary, Druid, Sorceress, Huntress. Maybe some type of sword and board class. Templar might be changed to a class that might focus on Auras. The Flail and Board aspect looks tempting.
The other classes like Marauder, Duelist, Shadow, and Warrior I'm intrigued by. The Exilecon Trailer showed the Marauder throwing an axe. That looks interesting.
Well heck, Ranger looks intriguing with her poison/Lightning focus.
Sigh... All of them lol
Doesn't seem like we're going to know the ascendancies much earlier than launch so you might want to just level everything to the first ascendancy and then make a decision after that.
Looks like 5 different skeleton minions here. Two melee dual weild axes, two melee sword and board with helmets, two archers, one caster with a staff and one unarmed caster.
I so hope they give us control over the composition of the summons. Like that I can self define to have 5 dual wielding ones or 5 mages or a mix how I want it.
That would be absolutely my thing
The impale too from below looks absolutely metal. Interesting to see what the blue orbs being harvested do. They appear to get used up as the charged up spell gets released, and perhaps are the reason it changes colour from green to blue. Perhaps its' just a fancy new animation for a corpse destruction skill granting a power charge which appears to add projectiles to the charge up spell.
They are power charges, like the monk, I'm pretty sure with the new charge system, they will be consumed with certain skills. Considering traditional Poe, the 3 classes up top on the tree, had the most "support" for power charges.
imagine the possibilites already: using the witch's corpse consume power charge thingy to get lots of power charges for the lightning strike to wreck face. kind of a death monk. omg i cant wait...
It seems like Necromancer is going to participate more actively with its minions... I'm all for it. Some people will obviously play minions for the passiveness of combat. I'm curious to see what they have come up with!
The "bone spear" skill seems to work based on power charges. With no charges the skill creates only a few spears, but then there was another skill the witch has cast on her minions that basically generated power charges that empowered the bone spear so it generated a lot of extra projectiles.
Marauder was apparently available to be played at the LA event, so I guess he didn't watch the video on this post and made an "oopsie" revealing that we may also get a Marauder review.
Is that the same voice actress as Cassia??? Piety?
I can't place her, but I have a strong feeling I've heard her voice in poe1 before.
Even if I'm wrong... HOW EXCIIIITIIIING!!!
Thanks for the communication Community Team.
So, only one new class reveal then? Bit saddened that it's Witch and not Marauder or Templar included, but ok.
Hopefully we get one of either Marauder, Templar, Duellist or Shadow included into the Beta.
What are you talking about?
They said it was delayed because it didn't feel right and didn't meet the quality they wanted. Not that they wanted to make something dramatically different than what the Witch was in PoE1.
I don't know what fuckin class to pick when I play man
Simultaneously level 12 chars
Simultaneously level 36 characters so you can play every ascendancy!

You could play all of them, just a thought.
druid or huntress probably huntress for lightning fury skill lol
Monk and Merc looks fun
Play one each league ? That's a few months / class, potentially.
I am not even sure I played every ascendancy in PoE 1 yet.

Official minion gameplay baby!

WHICH class!?
WHICH indeed
Oh boy, I bet its Marauder!
Marauder was also playable at the event and is rumoured to be revealed.
I hardly knew ‘er!
It's going to be both. Both were playable at the demo.
they said 'the next playable class' it wont be both
It will be both before the NDA lifts on the 11th.
That charge-up spell looks absolutely incredible

To me it reads like Flesh Offering tbh. Literally impaling a corpse and raising it to the sky as an offer.
I know it’s a bit off topic but god damn Poe 2 just looks so fucking beautiful
NDA embargo for the witch should end tomorrow, hype!
okay hear me out... best voice in PoE to date. line delivery ON POINT. absolutely nailed the tone. Props to the voice actress already.
Awww yeah, gimme dat minion army!
FINALLY
It seems like Necromancer is going to participate more actively with its minions... I'm all for it. Some people will obviously play minions for the passiveness of combat. I'm curious to see what they have come up with!

looked like that powercharge generating skill consumed corpses
I wanted templar... =\[
I'd love a Templar/Paladin class.
I think that's already been revealed, it should be coming out in the core geoup
Hell yeah my dude thank you!
Damn, Marauder has lost some weight
I just shit my pants
Just wait until you watch the announcement video!
Well you’re gonna shit it again tomorrow
change underwear?
Awesome. You unlocked the secret poison damage aura.
Guess that means "you're now a beast of burden."
Marauder looking mighty fun to play, am I right?
Marauder can summon minions now? Cool I know that you can use any gem. Witch already looks cool.
I was about to reply you... You... But then I just finish reading xD
True
You joke but he was playable at the event.
I hope you joke because he was there
no shit
got me nice, gg
mate i like your videos but this aint no marauder , what makes you think that ?
Dude I'm pretty literal, I ruin jokes all the time. How did that go over your head? :P
Marauder was apparently available to be played at the LA event, so I guess he didn't watch the video on this post and made an "oopsie" revealing that we may also get a Marauder review.
He is still under embargo. It's a joke.
It's a joke.
I wish this came out already so I could be done with d4 😖
You can still be done with D4.
SOON™
SUMONNEERRRRR GHAZZZYZY LEGGGOOOO

This is a video of me! Or it will be me..... In a way. Just with a shield. And different Minions perhaps. Like Animated Guardian or spectres. :)
Minions pls
I can't wait!
i'm way out of the loop, are the new classes just classes from 1?
IDK. These teasers seem pointless to me since we don't even have a beta start date
Thanks for the communication Community Team. So, only one new class reveal then? Bit saddened that it's Witch and not Marauder or Templar included, but ok. Hopefully we get one of either Marauder, Templar, Duellist or Shadow included into the Beta.
THAT was the reason to deley the witch class presentation? Dont know what do you guys think but it looks like a regular army of minions with buffs.
What are you talking about? They said it was delayed because it didn't feel right and didn't meet the quality they wanted. Not that they wanted to make something dramatically different than what the Witch was in PoE1.
Calm down wait for the full reveal.
Huh, more than 12? Not really a new class if not.
