    1. Tank - because parties will hardly work without a tank.
    2. Mage/Summoner - Party needs a damage dealer :)
    3. Cleric/Bard - Supports are taking very important role in the party.

    I think these roles will be the most wanted roles in the party.

    I will be going for Mage myself :blush:

    I'm torn between a Mage and Cleric. I've played Mage in every MMO but something about a Cleric is really drawing my interest.

    this thread is about most played and not most wanted ;) 
    in most Games i have played, it was always harder to find a healer then a tank ^^

  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest

    well to me it all come down to pvp vs pve

    pvp   would be rogue , mage , cleric

    pve   would be tank , mage , cleric


  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Rogue Mage and Cleric initially then it will level set a bit and you'll see more tanks by a slight amount
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Fighter/Mage/Cleric
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    History shows tank and healer classes are the least played. Highly unlikely it will change in AoC. Fighter-Mage-Ranger i think

    Mage/rogue/cleric.

    With the all flexibility we have and how necessary clerics will be, i think people will be surprised by how many people pick them as a base class.

    Rogue, Mage then probably Ranger or Fighter. Tanks/Healers/Support classes are always the least played in MMOs. DPS classes are always the most played though the top 3 changes every now and then due to balance changes or new discoveries. There's always a flavour of the month class. Typically though the traditional classes are often most played.

    Rogue (i like stealing shit), fighter/paladin (i like healing myself), and ranger (i like having a pet)
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Ranger, Cleric, Mage.

    Thinking back at all the MMOs Pooka has played over the years, it's typically something along the lines of Ranger, Fighter (of sorts), and a Hybrid (Clerics are most likely to cover this role best).  Rogues have a burst of popularity at the launch of MMOs but they die down A LOT after a month or so.  People like to see big numbers and Rogues aren't about big numbers.  Mages take time to cast spells so it doesn't appeal to a lot of player bases.  Summoner has always been a niche in most MMOs, tanks and healers to a degree are normally the least played.

    I hope there isn't a most played class. AoC is an opportunity to permanently break the Triad. Leave them behind and maybe grasp something new. Play a paladin so you don't need a healer. A bladedancer, cultist, or whatever combining a summoner with a ranger gets you, may not be the best at what you do, but maybe you'll be able to do something nobody else can do.

    It breaks the triad in the fact that there is four types of roles in the get go.  Support, DPS, Tank, and Healer.  Healer can't necessarily be thrown into the support category because you have the buff/debuff masters in Bard or whatever else IS decides to throw in that pool.  However, Pooka hopes there are specific things that each individual class brings something unique to the table.  It'd be cool to be able to think out a party composition and it change for each bit of different content.  Having an extremely modular class system would really add some umph to the deciding factor on a final party composition.

    Would be interesting to make a survey on what people are planning on playing at launch and seeing the results so far. I know there have been a few on the forums but this a more niche community of players than what will be there at launch. I'm sure there are going to be more DPS players than what the last few surveys have suggested.

    Cleric, Summoner, Ranger

    I personally think that High Priest will be pretty popular given that it takes healing and augments it with more healing. Then Archemage for the high DPS I'm hoping it will bring and then finally the Necromancer as people seem to love death and pets in MMOs like Age of Conan.
