Classes - Your Opinion/Choice(s)

in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion
Yes, you may of realised that I'm on the forums a lot and I would like to get ideas on if people of already have there hearts set on a certain route they want to take or going to wait till the game comes out and just see what happens. I would like to be a Fighter as I think that with these types of classes you can do so much with them, as in you can always improve them I think, thats what I realised with the few other MMO's I've started playing and from doing research on MMO's. I just really wanna know what other people are going to pick :smiley::wink:. And I would like your opinions on the classes and why you are choosing them.

    I'll decide when the beta is reaching its later stages.

    I also player fighters because i like melee, tanky dps....and 2 handed swords. That said i'll be testing different classes when the game comes out as you can never really tell how classes are going to function until then especially with the class system we have here. I'm expecting unlikely combos to emerge.

    I'm going for Mage/Mage. Why?

    Search deep in your heart(and forums), the answer will present itself.

    Sometimes I like touching deep into others.  It gives good insight.  :o

    Rogue/cleric for me because since early dnd dichotomy intrigues me. A lowlife backstabber who heals a bit from every stick or a religious artifact thief.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Until I have a reason not too, I'm going Bard/Cleric so that I can wam bam and jam!

    Know your enemy :)

    Actually I am a completionist, so have the inevitable compunction to experience all classes. No doubt I will grow to love a favourite over time.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I want to play as a healer so cleric seems like the only option. Bard might be interesting too and  mage looks really cool. I might change my mind later on with more information but for now I have my eyes on cleric.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I like the premise of the summoner so that's what I plan as rolling at this time. No idea for secondary class, too many possibilities depending on how they implement them.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    depending in certain class mechanics and animations i go rogue, mage or archer as main class and subclass totaly depends on the benefits.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Mage goes pew pew, I like!
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Depends how well stealth works as Rogue being the main class and as secondary class.  I would be shocked if i do not have Rogue as one of them.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I personally pick chocolate raspberry...

    I am probably going to pick Rouge ranger but might go mage mostly because those are the ones that I have always played in a game... not that I haven't done others
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Summoner/Summoner and a lot of crafting.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Tank/healer. I live the life of the immovable object. Alternate character fighter/summoner or vice versa or ranger/summoner.  I like pets and the idea of a possible hunting hound appeals to me.

    So what happens when an unstoppable force meets an inmovable object?
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    So, to review the archetypes and their holy trinity roles,

    Tank : Tank
    Fighter : DPS
    Rogue : DPS
    Ranger : DPS
    Cleric : Healer
    Mage : DPS
    Summoner : ???
    Bard : Support, maybe ???

    If you want to tank or heal you have one option.

    I play healer primary, so my only option is cleric.

    As a secondary I will look for whatever is most fun, maybe rogue, maybe mage, won't know that until late beta or launch.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    A Mage/cleric or a Mage/Summoner

    they all look very interesting

    @Ketchup How we doing?

    You will see me out there on the Battlefield with "The Empire" as a healer.

    As for what kind is to be debated. I myself am a PVP player mostly. Because of this i may be going Cleric/Tank.

    While there is no official information on the skills. My hope is that my healing spells will be throwing shields on myself or others at the same time i'm healing. Any PVP Healer Vet knows you are the biggest target on the battlefield and throwing some xtra damage resistance on top of heals is a life saver. A Cleric/Cleric maybe a highest healer. However those high crit heals mean nothing if you cant live more then a couple seconds.
