Everyone wants to be viewed as the selfless healer but they know they'll be playing hard core DPS 
JK. I'm sure there are plenty of legitimate clerics here!

Selfless, pfft, I mainly played my healer so I could get insta queues

You speaketh the truth!

Vanilla Tera: I was a tank and my friend a healer, and the queue was literally a few seconds. When playing my dps alt, the queue took 1h30 mins for each dungeon. The trade-off for playing deeps is real.

I both love and hate the old trinity of traditional MMOs. I usually don't like playing healer but I think it was Warhammer Online (my memory is hazy) where I actually enjoyed it because they had this cool yin and yang system where you balance between dealing dps and healing.

Other than that, I usually only heal as a side role. In GW2 I spec'd into healing on my Elementalist but that game doesn't have a real trinity anyway. 

If the cleric can deal a decent amount of dps and they do something like the Warhammer system (if I have the wrong MMO, someone can correct me), I'd actually consider playing cleric.

Either rogue or ranger. But without knowing the skills its hard to say which one suits me better

I'm personally debating a hybrid of both. The invisibility that the rogue seems to offer looks too good to pass up.

The hybrid is the predator we saw in the trailer, right? He looked really awesome in so many ways, I would even consider him as my main, but I am probably going to go with the summoner, because that sounds more like my kind of class 
Definitely need more info about classess tough. Also I am kind of positively suprised about the poll results. I'm glad it's so spread out.

Summoner here. Want to be a Necromancer. Raise the dead and own the world.

This thread is still going. I think I chose tank when I first posted on this thread. I'll choose another one. How about predator? Yeah, Tank/Predator.

Predator is a hybrid of 2 classes

Dunno. Either Fighter, Cleric, Mage, Ranger or Summoner. lol i have no idea what i'll pick. I'm a huge fan of fighter and mage classes in games if they are done correctly and "realisticly", atleast in the fighters case.

You just named half of the classes ^^

I guess he meant it when he said he didn't have any idea what he'll pick.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be either a fighter/cleric or a cleric/fighter.

Still pretty shocked at the balance of this poll.

Choicing classes without even knowing what will they do is pretty dumb.

ArchivedUser

I can't wait for more class specifics. We know so little I hate waiting.

I chose rogue but honestly it's a tossup between that and cleric AND the X factor (that being how the class combos come together)

Like what the hell is a cleric/rogue?!

ArchivedUser

I will most likely play a Rogue as main, always liked the whole sneaking around murder in silence and dwell in the shadows. Also the outlaw life speaks to me

A shadow priest? A priest of the god of deception? A sneaky exorcist?

I LOVED playing the Dervish in  GuildWars. 
Such a satisfying class to play in ways that were surprising to me personally. And just mesmerizing to watch.

I've selected ranger, but I think I will change it to fighter once I've seen more about that class. I think my main class will be fighter if it's good and ranger secondary. Fighter to literally wreck someone from close combat with a big axe for example, once the opponent tries to run away and turns out to be faster than me, swap to the bow to hunt him down

This combination is really good for PvE too. Some bosses in the game world will have big AoE hits I think (like every other mmorpg), you might want to swap to your bow and keep a safe distance and still deal massive damage as a damage dealer.

It's actually pretty evenly spread, I love it.

My main class will most likely be a mage but its quite early to say at the moment so it might change.

As do I when it comes to changing classes once we know more!

I`m waiting to see the bard specs. Otherwise a tank i shall be

ArchivedUser

Either going to cleric/fighter or cleric/tank. Depends on how well the 2 mesh when I get a good look at game mechanics

Hm not sure at all. Going to try them all and see which i like best.

Can't play as a Paladin, so I'll go Cleric.  Ranger would be a close second.  Cleric/Fighter, then Ranger/Bard :
