I want PA to keep making gender counterparts of each class. Sadly they are 4-5 male classes behind.
So I thought, wouldn't it be a good idea to merge two classes in one.
Example no.2:
Female Sage/Hashashin
Succesion: Astronomer theme, AoE attacks which she summons stardust to attack. So a combination between Hashashin's sand attacks and awak Sage's visual effects. Valencian Aesthetic.
Succ Weapon: hourglass.
Sub weapon: A small circular blade to parry close combat attacks. Can be inspired by small chakram or stardial (merged with a mirror for mysticism.)
Awakening: Costume appereance that images Greek/Egyptian the way Sage looks Roman.
Weapon: Gauntlet that looks like Slave Bracelet (that's the name okay..) combined with Finger Claws. Magic caster with effects that resemble comets, galaxies, solar flares, eclipses, etc. such as succ Sage skills but with more organic shapes. You get the idea.
I'm thinking she could look as powerful and mystic as Storm from the X-men.

Example no.3
Male Shai/Tamer.
Succesion: Think of a mischevious kid mixed with Mad Scientist. As this Shai is proficient in Alchemy and Manufacturing.
Weapon: Slingshot that is comically oversized like the Florang and a Companion that looks of Marni's creations.
Skills: With great knowledge in alchemy, he can buff himself, his companion and allies. As well as set up traps and other attacks to inflict adverse effects on his enemies.
Awakening: He built a new powerful body to transmute his companion, that resembles Valencian ancient weapons. His companion can now shuffle it's body parts as necessary in battle. Can provide an exoskeleton to the Shai, morph into an animal to mount, etc.
Weapon: Companion v2.0 and Monkey Knuckle
And I will admit, this was inspired by a faction of a dead game I used to play. (Dead as in, the company closed it down in the West.) (And obviously I don't want the exact same thing as a new class. It's just for reference.) Skip to 0:29
So I thought, wouldn't it be a good idea to merge two classes in one.
My suggestion would be to keep the class simple but expand to an optional second awakening weapon. I had a list prepared in case a dev took it seriously with class names attached.

Fadus
-It's an existing race
-Already part of the story
-It would be the first tribal class
-The customizations for fur patterns, claws, ears, tail, etc would be sick
-3 base types of faces. 1. Full Fadus/ 2. Slightly humanized / 3. Mostly human, still with fadus ears, tail, claws etc.
-Main weapon could be a magic gauntlets with giant glowing claws
-Sprint without weapon would run on all fours, which would be cool
-Would run faster and jump higher than other races
-Could start with Pro hunter life skill
-Would have to have male and female because, although I (as well as other players) only really play female classes, the male Fadus would look scary cool
I am still waiting for the male beastmaster alternative with claw weapons which was talked about during beta :( never came to fruition and I'm still sad about it.

Let me know if you have the discussion surrounding the male beastmaster. This is my first impression.
Druid: a CC combat focus class with group status debuff removing. The character race would be in the form of a male bearded shai. Main weapon is a flute-wand, secondary is a seed/spore bag and awakening is a bark suit of armor. Close quarters in combat requires good team cohesion in group fights and awakening weapon is more a grab/throw based attack with a non-movement based defense, so as not to make another redundant mystic class.
What We Know | Suggestions |
◆ Pearl Abyss are completely willing to add a Dwarf and Papu class in the future, however, this can’t be promised right now and will arrive “one day”. ◆ The next class was hinted at in this image and will be arriving next year. Future classes will be based on what players want and based on feedback. ◆ We apologize to our firearm desiring Adventurers, but we currently have zero plans for such a class. If by chance Black Desert were to undergo some radical changes that shifts its worldview in the next couple of years, we may reconsider this, but we feel this isn’t the time to discuss it yet. ◆ There are 22 classes with the following weapons: longsword, shield, greatsword, lance, longbow, dagger, sword, crossbow, gauntlet, greatbow, staff, orbs, axe, ornamental knot, cannon, messer, glove, amulet, talisman, scythe, cube, vambrace, shortsword, shuriken, kunai, katana, blade, hornbow, spear, crescent blade, glaive, pendulum, trinket, bo staff, boomerang, lantern, battle axe, polearm, shamsir, haladie, morning star, longshield, and rapier. |
◇ A Dwarven class who wields a two-handed dual-bladed halberd axe. ◇ A Rhutum barbarian lugs a massive club or a chained claw that belongs to Dastard Bheg. ◇ A Papua or Otter angler class uses a fortified fishing rod to whip, bind, and hook its enemies. ◇ A Goblin alchemist class who deploys explosive inventions such as bombs from its rucksack and uses a blunderbuss firearm to strategically detonate scattered mines. ◇ A human druid class that shapeshifts between werewolf, werebear, and the ancient forest guardian, Leshy, who summons living tree roots to suffocate intruders. ◇ A Black Spirit demon class that wears a dark cloak and a variety of esoteric masks. Its signature attacks resemble abyssal tentacles and scythe-like projections of its spectral body. ◇ A Lich class that taps into a forbidden codex which provides an arsenal of black magic to summon ghouls, undead soldiers, servants, and critters. It can resurrect dead monsters inflicted and killed with its curse. ◇ A Viking class is the male Guardian counterpart who tosses an enchanted powerful warhammer to electrocute his enemies. ◇ An Eclipse class is the male Nova counterpart who thrashes his surroundings with thorn spiked dual-wield whiplashes. |

Hoping for a "PLAYABLE" Dwarf before I lose interest in the game or a Rhutum class. I'm not opposed to them putting more classes in BDO just because it will be literally impossible to have PvP balance between classes without changing the whole PvP core.
I have another Dwarven concept drawn out with details but not even putting it up on the forums. I just feel it's wasted here.
This was a good thread by the way, Op.
