Hypothetical new class.

I always wondered why there was no wizard/warrior hybrid.

This idea has come up a lot in my conversations with people in the past as well.

It definitely makes sense but it's also a difficult one to nail down and get right.

The thing about rangers is that while they were supposed to be a druid/warrior hybrid, unlike palies and sks they didn't get to wear plate and were terrible at tanking post classic. So you kind of have to use the term "warrior hybrid" loosely.

Armor is a good place to start:

warrior plate + cleric plate = paladin plate
warrior plate + necro cloth = shadow knight plate
warrior plate + druid leather = ranger chain

It's a little messed up... Should a battle mage be able to wear leather or chain? Or should it be something crazy like cloth but extremely high dodge abilities (sort of like a monk)?

Nukes are obvious but what else should they be able to do? Root? Snare? Stun? AoE?

I'm sure others have considered this class and I know they exist in other games. Please share!
