0. Whole idea of many armour sets you mix sounds nice but will be aesthetical nightmare so please not.
About classes:
1. One archer class is what I was talking about for a long time. I see no viable hybrid options for ranged DPS class.
2. Just call it 'generic slasher class' and not focus on swords, especially one-handed ones.
3. OK, 'slasher with pike'. If you want it to be distinguished from (2), it might work.
4. Honestly I see no point in NI system when throwing weapons hardly linked with using pikes/polearms. In other mods it's different (at it's a logic in it). Native huscarls using Axe+Shield+Throwing Axes, PoP Legionaires using Sword+Shield+Throwing Spears (Pila/Hastae/etc). I would prefer to choose secondary weapon or shield rather then using a pike.
5. Generic xbow class. Again, disagree with different armour sets. I think it should be more like current CM, slow shooting with heavy damage and armour piercing. NI Repeaterman rather should be replaced with Archer which is more realistic.
6. I dislike an idea of dedicated shielders, because it leads to non-interactive gameplay. I would rather replace PC shielder with NPC shieldwall which would allow players to focus on killing bots, which is most fun in M&B.
7. As useful as Juggernaut. Don't make same mistake again. Not needed. Generic slasher (2) should have good enough skill to do the same. Call it 'generic fighter' if you want.
8. Makes no sense.
9. I would remove mid-wave healing from the game completely. Medic only to bring tomes, secondary class as in NI.
10. Secondary class, like in NI.
