the World of Twelve was once very simple: twelve gods, so twelve classes, no headache. However, for some years it seems that the Krosmoz is capricious since six new classes have appeared in Dofus. Some are linked to ancient deities, such as the steamers who have one day seen pass Osamodas in the form of an octopus and who then set up a parallel cult, and others are still awaiting the arrival of their guide, such as the Eliotropes whose lore is not yet complete since it is directly linked to the animated series wakfu.
Five years after the release of the eighteenth and last class, can we expect the arrival of a newcomer in Incarnam ?
The Ouginak, an encouraging new breath
I’Ouginaksecond facet of the coinEcaflipis the last class to have arrived in the game with the patch 2.40 in 2017. Despite some enthusiasm when it was released, the class was quickly abandoned because of the amount of useless spells it had. If we take a look at the forums from 2017 to 2020, we see a lot of dissatisfied players because, not content with being weak in PvMthe class is struggling to get by pvp.
Hard blow. With balancing already being one of the most widely criticized aspects of the game, it goes without saying that the community will always have a watchful eye on the arrival of a new class that could turn everything upside down in the meta, for the better. , but mostly for the worse. Maybe that’s why theOuginak came into play so weak, especially after the experience Huppermage which had the opposite defect when released.
However, at the end of 2020 comes the patch 2.58 which brings heavy balancing, especially for our canine friend. It is clear that since this patch, despite the few nerves and ups what the class has been through here and there since, theOuginak is not only playable, but enjoyable to play, and most importantly it doesn’t break the meta. Very strong in pvp but far from being stupidly over-vitamined, it also finds its place in PvM without having as much trouble as some classes left abandoned or broken by Ankama.
After four years of work which, of course, will have been long, we therefore have a playable and played class no major flaws. This observation allows us to hope that a new class would be a welcome, even healthy addition to the game, and not a new broken gear in the rusty balance machine ofAnkama. Hope is allowed.
The 19th class: myth or reality?
Since 2019, the new class ideas are raining down within the community with sometimes very successful concepts, to the point that some players get lost in the information and really think that these are official proposals. If you want to know more about these fan-made classes, you can check out the excellent videos ofAngom8 (2021) and Humility (2019) on the subject.
The community that makes fan fictionthat is not enough to say that a nineteenth class is provided for by Ankama, if ? No, of course not, but it leads to two conclusions:
- Players are ready for a new class. We can debate this because not everyone will agree on this subject, many players preferring to see the current balance improved before having to deal with new elements, but when we see that the subject of a new character unleashes so many passions, we can say that the evolution would be generally welcome.
- There are many possibilities to create a new class. Whether in terms of spells, items or lore, we are pleased to see in these fanmades that there is plenty of room to create a new character with a coherent and immersive background that would also be more balanced and playable. We are therefore eagerly awaiting it.
Even if it is a non-zero possibility, there is no indication that a new class could arrive specially in 2022. Unless…
During the first Ankama Live of the year, the Game Designers of Dofus told us about a significant number of projects that should be implemented throughout the year and wanted to keep a certain amount of information secret, including some that was almost revealed by mistake during question-and-answer sessions.

To wish us a New Year and tell us what awaits us for 2022, Ankama organized its first live of the year. Find here the summary of the main information.
Among the projects announced, we note above all that if usually there is only one “big” update in the year and that it is generally the last (understand the updates day that fundamentally change the game in at least one aspect), they revealed to us that this year we would be entitled to two major updates : the first and the last of the year.
In addition to these two substantial updates, we know that they have plans to revamp a historical area of the gamebut for the moment we do not have more information.
Latest information, the balancing of classes, which is at the heart of the debates and the work ofAnkama for several years now, is supposed to pass even more in the foreground this year according to Crocusresponsible for this task in the team Dofus.
Do you think these clues really point in the direction of the nineteenth class?
