What movie characters represent the TQIT classes?

Sometimes I roll a TQIT character because it reminds me of a movie character. For instance, the spartans from the movie 300 remind me of the Warden class with all their shield and spear moves (although when they switch to the falcata/shield it looks more like the Corsair class).

Any others? Just putzing around :happy:

I suppose single sword wielders with the short swords (like Patroclus' Shortblade) represent the Myrmidons at Troy, especially if they have black armour.

Somewhat off topic, and talking about 300, I never realised the significance of the unique Epic helm Dienekes' Shade. I thought it meant shade as in spirit in the afterlife. But, watching the History channel yesterday, I found out the true meaning. When the Persian messenger says that Xerxes' army can block out the sun with their arrows, a Spartan quips "Then we'll fight in the shade". That was Dienekes.

@Crohunter -- nice Sparta remix... the break dancing bear with the Leonitas head was my favourite part lol.

There seems to be a lot of parallels between TQIT and the 300 movie. As Irma pointed out, TQIT uses gear from named spartans. Those persian sorcerers could be from a rogue mage class, maybe Earth/Rogue with the added fire effects. And the Immortals could be a dual wielding assassin class.

I read somewhere that Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail was the inspiration for the pyromancer class :P (a complete lie).

Probably not... but I did make a cattlepult. Maybe we will see a Monty Python mastery some day? :P


As for classes, Harbinger is Neo.

Run away.... run away. Hmmm, a Monty Python class. Skill tree might look something like...

Silly Walk (w/ animation of course) -- Active buff for +20% run speed... synergy could be Coconuts for additional run speed
Worlds Funniest Joke -- 5 seconds of fumble attacks w/ 5% chance of 100% health reduction (no resistance to it)..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gpjk_MaCGM
Bring out Yer Dead -- Resurrects a corpse to fight for you
Knights of Ni -- Summons 5 knights that just bicker amongst themselves... synergy could be Roger the Shrubber summons
Holy Handgrenade -- lobs an instakill orb after a 3 second casting time (or was that 5?!?!)
The Black Night -- a temporary summons that acts like Monster Lure... it provokes but can't fight back effectively
Way of the Killer Rabbit -- Player rabidly flies from one mob to the next doing Phantom Strikes until a timer runs out (very long cooldown)

Neo as a harbinger... makes sense with his Dreamlike influence over the matrix and dual wield capability. I guess Agent Smith would be a representative of a melee Diviner with his Enslave Spirit ability.
