I’m going in a completely different direction on my prediction for Patch 6. Big update - Crafting. New class - Artificer. Who else “makes magic”? They have also had the crafting materials in the game from the beginning with the ability to grab plants, herbs, empty potion bottles, hammers, etc. At some point they are going to fill that out. Why not now? It would also go along with Sven’s statement that he wants to prioritize implementing new systems over new classes. Anyway, that is my prediction and I would welcome it.

No worries; welcome to the forum! If you stay here long enough (or as you've probably noticed while lurking), many topics get repeated in different threads, both simultaneously and days/weeks/months later.
It would be a very bold move if Larian implemented artificer before even completing the base PHB classes. And artificers would be the perfect class to be released with an overhaul to inventory management/UI/attunement/crafting system.
