What Starting Class Will You Choose?

Just wondering what the community has their minds set on so far. (Not including the subclasses)

    Bard/Tank is the ultimate class. Utility with survivability.

    I still dont know all the abilities of all the classes so its a bit hard. But i would love to be a ranger that has some sort of either siphon HP mechanics, or ranger/mage mix of being able to use frozen arrows as some sort of CC ranger vs DPS ranger. 

    One of the clases that simply i dont see in almost any MMO these days are the Necromancer, and i believe this game will have one, would be very interested to see what its powers and spells are.

    Hopefully we will have a website showing all the spells and stats in detail, its always fun to just play around with builds even if you arent in the game.

    I will most likely make either a rogue or fighter first, but I will end up playing them all as the Altoholic I am.

    It is hard to say. I will start with bard or summoner. I guess i need to know more about those classes before choosing any specific. But anyway my answer is atm bard, because i am going to at least test that out.

    Yea its still early to say since we dont know all spells/passives/races etc... But as of now I just base my picks on the general idea of each base class we know about already. Mages generally do the most DPS :))

    Depending on how summons are handled. Ranger and fighter are currently 2a and 2b
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    It's a given :)

    I can't think of any game where I haven't tried the healer first, so without additional information on class combinations and which X+Clerics will also heal, I'll likely choose cleric base class first.

    Summoner... going to be a necro.

    I am interested in Beast Master and Enchanter from the summoner set, personally, as I love support roles as much as healing, but my roommate plans on playing Nerco too! I am currently leaning on Cleric x Summoner to play a shaman, so I guess summoner is kinda my second choice anyway.

    Likely Mage or Ranger, too early to decide for me.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Rogue or Mage. I think those 2 combined with bard or summoner are very interesting.
    Those ice/fire summons with their own effects Steve talked about....gonna be cool for sure(Sum - Mage).

    Fighter/Tank
    I want to be a Frontline DPS and not have to have healing be a priority for me. 
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Probably a tank for me, and eventually subclass cleric. I have always had a paladin in any game that offered it. We shall see, though. Perhaps I'll change it up for the first time since 1999? Never know.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I was going to say Tank, but then again, I always like to hit from a distance. So Ranger all the way. Maybe a touch of Tank as a second.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Cleric.  Usually always play a healer, although very aggressively.  Can't stand standing in the background watching health bars.  Whatever resembles Disciple of Khaine (Warhammer Online) or Blood Mage (Vanguard).  Healing through hurting, baby!
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Tank. Once a tank, always a tank. One can never stay away for long.

    Side note, I'm sincerely interested in the sub-classes and how they will augment abilities. Also, I love crafting and really hope this itself is made into a legitimate job, not a passive hobby.

    I'm torn between starting as a fighter or tank. I'll say tank for now since I enjoy tanking more than dps but might go sub-tank as a fighter. Need more class info before I commit to anything.
