After reading quite a few threads here concerning the idea of either a summoner or a shapeshifter being one of the remaining classes, i think you could do something of a hybrid of both. Hence the Grand Vizier:-
Basically the GrandVizier would be a Mind Control/ShapeShifter Hybrid that instead of summoning creatures, he just takes control of the enemies rather than summon them.
Attributes/Traits :-
1. Desert Based - Grand Viziers are always associated with desert countries/tribes.
2. Very Selfish - Even Slightly Evil in it's approach to life and death as all GV's are.
3. Predominantly ranged/Magic Based.
Some Skills :-
1. Mind Control - the ability to "Convince" an enemy and get it to fight for you for a time.
2. Guilty Conscience- Convince an enemy to hurt themselves, for a limited time they will not hurt you, but will instead use their skills on themselves.
3. Sandstorm - look at the Lorenado spell from the joke Archivist. Seems a shame to waste the spell. So just replace bits of paper with Sand and you've got the spell. The physics are already there.
4. Snakeform - the ability to change into various snake types each with their own skills Poison/Crush/Tailwhip(speedy attack).
5. Scorpion form - Similar to Snakeform. Either 1 of these would do, but i prefer snakeform as it allows more variety.
6. Blind - Creates a mini sandstowrn round an area, blinding any targets in the AOE. Similar to Witch Doctors Confusion, except they don't specifically attack someone, just randomly swipe in any direction.
7. Mummify - Causes bandages to spawn out of the ground wrapping a target up holding them in place and suffocating them.
And more if I had time.
Good/Bad..indifferent?
