I got some ideas.
1.
Change starter voc called "Archer" to"Scout" or something. At first promotion you can choose to go Sharpshooter(Ranged) or Assassin Melee.
or
Make a whole different starter vocation and new promotions.. Starter Voc: Scout. Promo: Assassin(Daggerstyle with stealth, burst damage) or Spellblade (Dagger style with Magic Enhancement spells. Damage over time)
2. Second Promotion: (This is all something I just tought of on the spot. Can probably make this alot better if intrested)
How about making them specialize in something? I mean go from Wizard to either Pyromancer (Use Fire mainly) Warlock (Use curses and death damage)
Examples of all current vocation second promotions:
Wizard
->Pyromancer(Fire)
->Warlock (Death)
->Cyro (Ice)
Priest
-> Arch Priest (Burst Heals)
-> Chanter (Buffs and overtime Heals)
Crusader
-> Guardian (Low cooldown on Manus Arco and more utility spells. + Thorns damage?-> Deal damage to anything that attacks you) <- this guy keeps everyone alive.
->Templar (Better defensive spells and more self healing, but 25% damage debuff at all timesThis is the boss tanking tank you want.
Berserker
-> Gladiator(AoE damage and Damage over time spells)
-> Warlord (Single Target damage with lifesteal)
-> Destroyer(Burst Single Target damage with low defence. Can only use two-handed weapons) Kill or be killed kinda thing.
Sharpshooter
->Ranger (Single Target burst)
-> Hunter(Single target damage over time with pets. Pets like 1 dps and 1 for tanking)
Assassin
-> Stalker (Melee vocation using daggers. Can go invisible forever. First attack always crits. Very low defence. Some spells for evading attacks) High Burst
->Saboteur (Ranged vocations using crossbows in both hands. Low defence with burst damage and crowd control like silence and disarms.) (Disarm = Other person can't attack.) I can't remember what that cc was called on ascalon xD
I just realized this is starting to get way too long... Well just tell me if it sounds intresting and I will probably post more.
I wrote more on some of my promotion ideas because there was not much to say to clearify what I mean on some of them.
