Whats the class you always try out first In an MMO?

ArchivedUser

I always start with cleric and hope their non-healing spells aren't boring.  (Sounds like that may be the case for AoC.)  My alt is always a summoner/pet class.  I do this for every single MMO I've ever played...I think there's something wrong with me.

I always try to have one of each class in whatever game I play.  However, I do prefer the power class like Mage mostly.  With Ashes having so many combinations, I may have to stick closer to the Archetypes for the sake of completeness.

Idk I'm always sinking into warrior type class to learn the game properly. (Even tho I dislike warriors type class)

Necro/Summoner type. Or, in case of TOR, Imperial Agent, which, I suppose, is a hunter? (Went sniper)

I will always play a Tank/Fighter because I love jumping into the fray and being the one to suck up the damage, initiate the fights and control the enemy.

In AoC I will most likely try out the Tank/Fighter, Fighter/Tank and Tank/Tank combo's to see which fits me the best.

I will be tank / tank to get me in the middle of all enemies stun crazy while I get hits everywhere, trusting in my heler, I love you helers, without you I could not do my job.The power of the chicken protects me.

Mage. Always a mage or some form of spell slinger.

I'd most likely run the squishy class with High burst damage. But I must learn the game first and warrior's class are always the easiest to learn

I usually try a healer or whatever a melee dps.

If available my favorite classes are always Necros and Anti-paladins (Death Knights, Shadowknights etc) as I really like Necromancy and life drain mechanics as well as the general design aspects associated with them.

Ranger/Hunter, I enjoy the long range dps characters.

ArchivedUser

I didn't read all the others. I will be playing a tank it's what I play in every MMO i've ever touched... Make tanking great again!!

ArchivedUser

Always a healer for me! Usually a paladin or battle healer type so cleric will be great!

I don't know about "always", but it just depends on what is appealing. My first ever MMORPG was World of Warcraft. I chose male human warlock back in vanilla as my first ever class. Got addicted, long story short.
Typically, I guess, it would have to be a ranged magic-based class. Again, depends on what is most appealing. but it's gonna be magic almost always. :P

I usually find myself drawn to the Melee classes, tanking is something I used to do alot. I really like the whole close up positioning. I have in the later years started to stray into trying out ranger types.

But to answer the questions, mainly melee dps. I especially like it, if they have some sort of cc.

I normally test out rouge to see how well it works. I then get a taste of mage and ranger. I then decide which works best to compliment the rouge and use that combo. If both don't work well with rouge I jump right to my favorite... Bard.

ArchivedUser

Warriors, especially tanky ones. I like to hit things (and get hit I guess).

Played WoW for two years before I used a second character slot,  so I tend to stick with my first choice.

I typically go for a magic user of some kind. Ideally a pet class. Then depending on how they look either a fighter type or rogue type.

ArchivedUser

I usually always try ranged dps, more specifically aoe range dps. I generally l love the nuke the opposing team kind of character because to me blowing the enemy team off the map is more fun then waiting for them to fall into a trap. Though i have played support characters and healers before also as well as single target assasination characters.

Assassin is a very dynamic class, using the tactics of quick attack, and thanks to the incredible skill he is able to inflict damage to multiple enemies and easily Dodge attacks.

ArchivedUser

Friar... but they are drastically rare in MMO-genre...

ArchivedUser

I try to choose different kinds of classes from game to game, but it's never any rogue or assassin class. It's just not my thing.

ArchivedUser

My first instinct is versatile class, like Druid from WoW, then a pet class, ideally who can tame or otherwise choose the appearance/ability of their pet from creatures they meet. I like to put survivability and ability to do damage while not exposing myself too much, to be the top priority when soloing. And it's how I pick my classes. I can also do healer, though I pick this for grouping.

My style is somewhat reckless. In offline RPGs like Kingdom Hearts, this means charging in and hoping I can deflect blows rather than block or evade attacks. So the survivability thing ensures I live through my recklessness (usually).

ArchivedUser

the class that I think i'll have most fun with.

Melee DPS is my go to, though I'm very interested in some of the class combos in this game that may make me switch it up.

Rogue or Assassins/Stealth Classes, else rangers/archers.

Same here as @ReaperOfCookies I steer clear of the main healer types but with the combo idea, I might try it.

I always like the summoner type classes as its fits my style of play the most plus how does not love having a mini army following you around 

I always play a healer and then regret it years later due to the slower levelling and dependence on others; however we are the ultimate pet class.

We have the best pets which follow us around;

Tanks, DPS, Support...

I love to start with ninja/rouge builds, the ones that can kill and get away with it. I've never really played a lot of pvp, so I'm yet to see how that influences my feelings.

ArchivedUser

I normally go Warrior/Paladin, but seeing as there is a Summoner class I may try Warrior and Summoner as secondary class.

Looks like there's going to plenty of Summoners and Necromancers in Verra.
