Love the idea of being a Bard and just running about with AOEs singing and prancing annoying my fellow party members.

I think Summoner is going to be extremely fun if the summons scale with you or based off your GS maybe.

When this all started I was all about Cleric/Cleric, it's all about those big heals baby.

But since more info about the augment systems has come out it opens up some interesting prospects. Where a cleric/mage could enhance AOE heals or HOTs. Even a cleric/summoner, cleric/bard, or maybe cleric/ranger have the potential to enhance/improve a clerics heals.

I am going to need alot more information and testing to convince me that anything other than a Cleric/Cleric will be a efficient healer.

I was thinking about Cleric, but I generally like playing less common classes and currently Cleric is the most popular class according to this one poll. If other polls and alpha indicate that Cleric will be a top two or three class, then I'll consider Bard or even Tank. Bard could be fun to play since it's a bit different and has some healing abilities. And for Tank, I've done some Tanking in other games and generally been decent at it, and if Tank is only the 7th most popular class they'll be in high demand.

Primary healer is NOT going to be the most popular class in game. As soon as we get confirmation that taking cleric/fighter won't make you a battle cleric that can 1 vs 8 whole teams the % people wanting cleric will drop like a rock. Have you ever played any MMO ever where there were way too many healers?

Most people have seen how OP Cleric is in PvP. When we see the other classes, I doubt Cleric will be so OP. In such a circumstance, some people will choose whatever seems OP at that point, thus The Flavours of The Month shall become evident.

When I was a Tank and my irl friend was the Healer we always wanted DPS. Most partners do in fact often play Tank and Healer because a Tank and Healer duo is very strong. Considering Cleric does DPS too, then a Tank and Healer duo could be one of the best setups in terms of duo.

I don't often ask for DPS, I often ask for specific classes in other MMOs, simply because certain classes had certain skills that certain Dungeons required. Like I wouldn't ask for DPS if I wanted a Nerco or wouldn't ask for DPS if I wanted a Demonologist. It does depend on the game of course, I have also played Healers.

It will entirely depend on servers too, because, the classes are quite evenly spread in the poll, yet we aren't all going to be on the same servers. You might have a situation where one server has a lot of Tanks, or one server has a lot of Healers. We will most likely see all servers have a lot of DPS.

The group sizes also mean we can take more DPS too, so requesting DPS should be quite common.

Riegorn

Probably gonna start as mage, as that is my go to class in most of the rpg games. No idea on secondary class. Would love to just double down on mage, but it depends what augmentation other classes have. Other potential is Ranger/rogue as i like stealthy archer gameplay.

I’m huge into Paladin fantasy, it’s all I’ve played in wow and other games. So I’ll either play the Paladin tank class or if Templar is a lot like Wow’s retribution then I’ll play that class. But my heart tells me to play Paladin for ea

Fletch

I think I am going to go with a Bard/Rogue (Trickster) or possible a Cleric/Fighter (Templar). These seem like such cool combos to me! Very excited for this game!

I love Enchanter Type Classes, and the Bard should be the perfect Enchanter^^

Malc

I've always been a healer, so to me it seems obvious! Cleric all the way!

Highsword might be another one to add to your list. Fighter/Cleric might be close to Ret Pally.

Bards in a fight:

Zambar

I'll start beeing a summoner, but overall I have the most interest in Brood Warden, beeing a "ranged" tank. It would be prety funny to be in full Heavy armor as a summoner or Heavy/cloth, if my summon gets any bonus from it. Aside from this i'm interested in Enchanter, and Shadowmancer. As a secondary summoner class: Shadowlord and Bladecaller.

cyberwolf

I always like sneaking and thieving in games going way back to my AD&D days decades ago.

Thinking about Rouge rouge or Rouge ranger. Decisions decisions...

SilverXsurfer

I am aspiring to go rogue /S ranger or ranger /S rogue depending on how the ability tree lines up with everything and how the combat system will feel. Would consider swapping rogue out for bard assuming traps are less treacherous

Cleric or Bard

I really enjoy support classes. I'll have to see what the Bard offers and what are the race benefits for playing each.
I also may end up playing something that is not optimal.
Tried Wow classic recently and of course went Dark Elf Priest instead of ugly dwarves (just kidding, you're lovely little pieces of furniture).
