So what class / class combination will you make? (Lighthearted thread)
I know it's pretty early to be thinking about this, without information regarding classes and their specific movesets, but I just wanted to start a lighthearted thread among the more serious topics here. I read there will be 8 classes: Fighter, Tank, Ranger, Mage, Summoner, Cleric, Rouge and Bard (what the frank is a "Bard"?). Most of those are pretty self explanatory: Tanks will be slow, yet beefy melee warriors with a plethora of crowd control likely built into their movesets. Mages will have abilities that will let them rain down serious AoE damage, Summoners will be the classic "pet" class, etc.. This is of course my own speculation-- I could be totally wrong. Also, I've read that after a certain level, you will be able to choose a second class to add to your original, further expanding your skills, combining to a pretty unique character wilt a whopping 64 possible class combinations! (Tank - Ranger???? WHAT???)
So I'm just curious as to what you all will be playing! Also, hey, if anyone has more insider information regarding classes, please, feel more than free to discuss them!
I will be playing as a TANK primarily. I'm set on this. Even if the class (god forbid) comes out terribly underpowered, I have decided that I will stick with it, and if it's bad, awaiting a fix and time in the FOTM (hopefully there isn't too much of this FOTM garbage) spotlight. I find the most enjoyment in being in the thick of battle and being able to dish out damage while shrugging damage off. Lots more satisfying (to me) than yawning (heh heh to all you ranged DPS players) on the backline, or waiting for the perfect moment to strike like a squish-o-matic (another heh heh to Assassins) Rouge. I want to run up in there, hit whatever baddie it is in the face, take a beating, and live to tell the tale.
As for a secondary class add-on (idk if this is correct terminology, please excuse my ignorance), it's a toss up. I have no clue which one to add-on because all of the possibilities sound way too cool to be like , yup, that's the one I want. Tank-Fighter I am expecting to be the most exhilarating, adrenaline filled combo. I imagine a beef-cake melee warrior dashing around, ramming into enemies, stunning crowds with a decent AoE or locking down a single target, while setting them up for a fatality. I'm not the best Support / Healer since I can tend to focus on the enemies more than my teammates (but I am a teamplayer...funny how that works), so a Healing class mixed with my Tank, while sounding intriguing (and highly sought after by team-oriented guilds), probably won't be as "satisfying" to play to my personal preferences. Tank-Mage sounds pretty cool. Run in there, bash the crowd and pull them in with a circular, magical AoE while your backline obliterates them ("yup, I started that" moments are awesome). Sounds pretty cool. I do love mobility, however. A tank that can dash around the battlefield?...I smell PvP (come at me bro heh heh). Tank-Rouge sounds intriguing to me too, but I'm not sure how it'll work. Tank-Summoner is out of the question- can't have a CPU controlled pet steal the show (yes, tanks like to be the "center of attention" heh heh). What a Tank-Bard will do is beyond me. Anyway, if you read this far, thanks for reading. Sorry for tl;dr and I hope to battle alongside / against you all soon!
Peace :)

For me it's Cleric for the first classe ! I can't think to play a MMO without healing ! And the second classe, maybe Fighter or Tank to play as a Paladin, or a Mage to be 100% spell caster !
(Sorry for my bad english)
but classes i am interested in are ranger, bard (a bard is usually a rogue style fighter that uses music to buff or debuff enemies, kind of a jack of all trades type character), summoner if their pet ai is decent.
I also like tanks but when you make a class called tank it better be a tank.
I am interested in trying out a tank/cleric or summoner/bard. tank cleric can tank and maybe heal himself or party and summoner/bard can summon pets then use bard abilities to buff them.
All depends on how things work though and right now we just dont have enough information but that starts my line of thinking.
Secondary, i dunno, cleric or bard possibly, maybe ranger, try and make a hybrid range/melee assassin type class. Was thinking of playing as a bounty hunter or mercenary.
Secondary class: I'm thinking mage or maybe summoner. Mage because I would love to see flaming slashes or maybe Lightning infuse AOES, something close to kirito's star burst stream ???? Would be awesome.
An as for summoner. Everyone would love to tag team a mob with a beastly summon ( lion summon plz!!!!). Like think about it. We both can take on enemies, would be awesome for grinding.
Rogue/Summoner

Lol...yeah...what you said...I always seem to go back to rogue...every game that was my main character.
Will have to see about secondary as to what provides the best combos
This way I can role-play, and yell out "HULK SMASH" before stabbing people with a tiny dagger.
Suppose - for some time i just try to play in cleric/bard or cleric/fighter style ...
Waiting for more info.
Otherwise i will probably go for a Bard/Cleric or Bard/Fighter based on the Bard class skills...
The Handler of Dismal Fates, the Disher of them too.
Tank/Warrior
There is no other class. :D
Sing a song and bring Brooms to life like Mickey Mouse in Fantasia.
Summoner-->Bard
Call forth the Singing Moose of Death.
