I want some kind of Shield-Sorcerer. Yeah, I know there is the Mystic-Knight, but I have that idea of a small wizard with a pointy hat that hides behind a shield as big as himself, throwing spells from behind it.

So basically if you draw your weapon (the giant shield) you would not be able to move from the spot because it is mounted to the floor, but you would have a high defense. Your right hand skills would have normal spells thrown from behind the shield against the enemy and the left hand spells would use the shield directly to tunnel through the spells (like a turret). Maybe have a skill where you smash an enemy by simply letting go of it and then it falls on him, haha.

I would love to have more varied weapon-types, like spears, lances or even knuckledusters. Demon's and Dark Souls gave a very nice idea of great weapon variety AND gameplay. Though the magic gameplay is just bland - No comparison to DD.
