i guess everybody has read the announcement of the ACG.I'm very intrigued and I'd like to speculate about some of the classes based on their description in the blog entry.
Bloodrager-
I guess some people hope that Paizo finally heard the pleas for a full BAB 4th level arcane caster a la Ranger or Paladin, but considering that the devs stated that these classes are more of a mashup of classfeatures from existing classes I doubt that will happen here.
I'm thinking medium BAB ,6th level spells,rage, probably some way to acces a few rage powers ,certainly some Rage Prophet like class features that help mash up casting and rage.
Slayer-
Very excited about this one, pretty sure this will be another b&@#@slap for the Rogue and make it even more obsolete than it already is.
I'm thinking full BAB,full Sneak Attack, 6-skill points,Stealth bonuses+HiPS,Favoured Enemy,Bonus Combat Feats, perhaps a death attack like mechanic.
Any ideas on the other ones? Join me in idle speculation...
The Shaman almost sounds like it trades out its spell lists (or maybe like patrons or domains?) daily and that sounds pretty cool.
I am a little confused about what a Warpriest is going to be. It sounds like its role is already filled by Paladins and Battle Clerics. Maybe a middle ground, like a 6 spell level progression? But if it has full BAB, it just sounds like an upgraded Paladin, and Clerics already have 3/4 BAB.
I hope that all of the classes, while being mixtures, will be more than just combining features. They mention the Magus being the first sort of Hybrid class, so I hope they all feel as unique as that.

We don't know if the bloodrager is going to be full BAB 4th level arcane or not, we only know that one of the classes in the ACG is going to be a full BAB with 4th level arcane. Since the description of the bloodrager mentions he only has minor access to spell and was mainly concentrating on rage and bloodline powers, we deduced he was the fabled arcane paladin people like myself have asking for.

One of the few thing we know, do to the interview with Jason and the other staff members at Paizo, is that the Warpriest receive blessing instead of domains. Blessings worked in a similar manor as domains, but added weapons/tactics based combat powers in lieu of extra spells.
