If you got to make up your own, what would you want it to be and why?
Also, what would their special ability be?

You want a pirate hamster class? So do I!The Austin said:
Actually, I'd want a class that summons things to fight. Like the turret, but constantly usable, with multiple weaker ones. Basically, I want a summoner archetype.
i'd be mr Converted superhero thread, my special power would be search bar and changing a few words. in my mind.
I could see them adding an engineer that might deploy shield-repair bots or something like that.Onyx Oblivion said:
A proper summoner as Onyx Oblivion said. Summoning tons and tons of skags to do my bidding would make that game replace Fallout 2 in my heart. And no, I dont want one or two summons. I want a f**king army! They dont have to do much damage, hell, they can be one shotted if Gearbox feels like it. Just give them an ability that summons say... 2 skags/Spiderants/Insert-Small-Annoying-Creature-Here and has about a 30 second cooldown, and dont give them a bloody limit. If I summon they I bloody well want to keep summoning until my computer explodes. Then give them a tree for each of the summons, and the last point makes ONLY your tree's summons come out. Also. They need grenade launchers. Dont give them to the hoyty-toyty berserkers, I want to blow s**t up as a summoner!
Well I heard a rumor that there will be a new class based on dual wielding weapons. This was on Gamefaqs and in response to why none of the characters could say use two pistols or SMGs at the same time, allegedly this was being reserved for a new character.
As far as a new character type I'd personally like to see a cybernetic hero since it would fit in with the setting. As far as a special goes, maybe super reflexs/speed (ie bullet time) which is an old fallback, or perhaps some kind of a weapon supercharge that say amplifies the abillity of whatever weapon you happen to be using to a ridiculous degree.

Isn't the siren already a ninja/stealth archtype?
They have their bases pretty well covered, since the three classes are all hybrids. Brick can be a demolition guy focusing on explosives or a tank.
The soldier can deal damage, or be the healer/ammo resupplier.
The siren can be the mage equivalent boosting damage, or she can be all stealthy.
There's not too much room for a 4th class.
I saw some interesting threads on another forum about what a CL4P-TP class might look like. They had an interesting set of abilities that was based around computers---given that we have sentient satellites and CL4P-TPs, I wouldn't mind seeing an android/cyborg type class.

The Scholar class. 3 skill sub-trees are Engineer, Inventor and Archeology
Works best with Repeaters & Eldritch technology.
His ability would produce lightning that stunned people and, with upgrades, arc to other people and deal large amounts of damage. Think 'Chain Lightning' from Warcraft III.
Other abilities would include:
*Buffs to the vehicle (More shields, faster regen, more XP from squish-kills)
*Eldritch charge upgrades (More damage, faster recharge, bigger capacity)
*Repeater upgrades (More damage, more accurate, bigger clip)
*Guardian loot upgrades
*Guardian XP-kill upgrades
