Just curious... seeing as any class can equip any weapon and any type of armor and any race can play any class.... what indicators will there be when you go into combat as to what class you are playing? Will you know before entering combat or only after?

If you see a clannfear or a winged twilight: you're up against a sorcerer

If you see someone with spikes growing out of him: dragonknight

Other than that, you'll have to wait for them to use their class abilities.

if you don`t see them, they are a night blade

Yeah, don't assume a staff wielder is a healer. A Templar wielding Sword and Board is just as possible.

I'm resisting making a comment about how it's not likely at all because of the nerf. I failed.

Seriously though, it'll be difficult to tell. That Orc in heavy might be in 2/5 heavy light and focus on staves with a sword/shield on the other bar. Not necessarily a tank.

I like that there won't be too many obvious tells as to what class my opponents will be. Keep us on our toes, need to be ready for anything.
