Can't determine a build without knowing what attributes and stat modifiers we have to work with on gear. I hope it's not boring and over simplified like FFXIV.
but based on classes alone I wouldn't mind the Cleric/Rouge (Shadow Disciple) Class for both solo and PvP play. maybe there's a good racial bonus to go with that setup

Class: Dreadnought (Fighter/Tank)
Race: Aela (Human)

Class: Weaponmaster (Fighter/Fighter)
Race: Pyrian (Elves)
Weapon: Halberd/bow
Armor: Medium (Chain/Scale)
Play style: An agile fighter engaging from afar with my bow if needed and using my halberd to impale my foes from a distance.

Weapon: Whip/Flail + Shield

@sarevok You appear to be an Alt-oholic as well....

I honestly hope I can find either a healthy median between all those classes or they allow us to later change our primary class as well. Going to try and limit my characters to two, maybe three tops. I was lucky in ArcheAge to find that heavy bruiser that if played correctly didn't get destroyed by the meta melee classes or the meta caster classes. I just couldn't heal

Oh man, I hear ya... I HOPE that "Meta" builds aren't as prevalent in Ashes, and off the wall unique playstyles will actually be good..... /sigh... But I know that isn't possible... there will always be superior builds

The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace

Itmwould be awesome if jewelsmiths or scribes could get runic augmentations.

I'll try both nightshield and shadow guardian.
With a shield+one hand axe or dagger.
Medium or heavy armour.
Hoping one of those class will allow me to do some rogue work in the enemy line and teleport through shadow to a ally one who I had previously marked giving us some resistance buff.
I'll focus to be the perfect aggressive bodyguard!
1) Tank something. My spouse and I typically duo tank and healer when playing an MMO together.
2) Bard/Rogue or Bard/Tank has my interest, but whatever combo allows me to play a non-heal based support, perferably a heavy debuffer/mezzer because I like control type classes if I'm not playing a tank.
I loved playing Controllers in City of Heroes.

Fighter / Fighter. See how many weapons can be mastered by 1 character. Artisan class, you guessed it, weaponsmith.

Just shortened it. It looked weird in the 'Like' lists.
Still on the necromancer / undead bandwagon. I was tempted to change it to Arkhan or Khetep. But @Nagash might not have liked that... Wouldn't want to annoy the skelepope.

Yep, I am probably going to go Summoner/Summoner. My goal is to eventually be able to summon massive monsters.
It would be really awesomw, if you can do that.
Buildname: The Plaguedoctor
That is the one thing I am hoping for since those two classes are my most played characters in any video game I ever played.
AIDS for everyone.
Without knowing how everything works, my goal will be a high Support/DPS build that focuses on magnifying the DPS of the group.
Also looking into Mage types. I enjoy spell blade types, but I think I'll be in a more supportive mood by the time AoC hits release.
Other ones I'm wanting to try Shadow Lord and possibly Falconer.
