    Priest or Mage depends how they will look and play out including the archetypes.

    As usual, not enough tanks :'(

    I'm sure "can summoners main tank?" has been asked before, lemme try to dig through the threads ...

    I'm thinking ranger or assassin for that high dps

    I come from a paladin tank's perspective in WoW (recently at least, been around in ESO, GW2, Archeage and the run of the mill at this point). I can't wait to play Tank / Cleric, so I can be called a "piece of shit unskilled b*@$ who has no friends" as I wear down and outlast lactose intolerant "rouges".

    That or Tank / Mage, cause nothing says "I hate you" than a tank with access to blink.

    personally, I am planning to either Cleric or bard, I would need a bit more info on their skills and playstyle.

    I really enjoy healing in games but also have been a big fan of playing a support role (buffer, debuffer, etc)
    I'll have to play around with it :) Hopefully, you can change your secondary class.

    I’m very interested in trying a lot of the builds, but mainly Predator (Ranger/Rogue) and Paladin (Cleric/Tank).

    I think Paladin would be my focus for group play and Predator would be my “bounty hunter” solo/small group class.

    My son seems super keen on a Necromancer, so I’m hoping to find something that works well with that.

    Personally love tanking, but I don't like playing a full defensive tank. I want to be able to shred my target while tanking, and edge toward dps over tank if thats impossible for balance purposes.

    I'd love to see the data/correlation comparing these type of poll's data vs released information about classes, like the videos or stream tidbits mentioned

    Omg I just don’t know. I have always just “known” what I wanted to main before joining a realm but with all these delicious choices I am so conflicted!

    Bard. What archetype I pair that up with down the road remains to be seen. I'd probably have a better idea whenever more information becomes available, so at least there's that to look forward to. After that I'd consider a mage; they're fun to play and have cool spells, but the bard isn't really something I've been able to tinker around with, and the other archetypes are already fairly common in other MMOs I've played, with a few style/spell alterations here and there.

    I think that would be say a rogue with tank off-spec though, where they can gain defensive bonuses based on offensive actions, like the infamous WoW rogues of The Burning Crusade era, who could tank with 100% dodge on bosses, just by spamming Ghostly Strike..

    It remains to be seen, but if they can make the sub class system work, I'd like to try out Tank / Rogue, so I can pull stun, and backstab my opponent, but not having "massive dps" outside backstabs..

    There is nothing "fun" or "balanced" with tanks who can "edge near" dps.

    I was considering an Evasion Build too. I don't know if Rogue Augments or Tank Augments would enable Evasion Build. You can build Primary Tank Archetype to Evasion Tank but Rogues are known for Evasion in other MMOs.

    Wonders.. how often you can change class or 2ndary class
  • SongcallerSongcaller Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    You can't change Primary Archetype, only secondary archetype. I believe the quest or process is rather long to change the secondary archetype.

    If there is the normal shortage of Tanks and Healers, I may do one of those. I have never really played as a Tank in a MMO, this my be the time to try one.

    These results are the evidences that healers are not the less class who people want to play, in spite of the thoughts of the people who thinks nobody wants to heal.

    Cleric of the Lay on Hands Paladin-Type. Yummy!

    Cleric all the way :)

    I'm surprised Mage and Ranger are so low, though!

    Class is of course secondary since it's all about being Tulnar first!

    I see another man of culture, well meet mood Kindred!

    Man?! How dare you, I would never want to play a man creature! Skaven forever! Queek! (or maybe even an Argonian/Iskar)

    There are a few of us around here who are HC Tulnar supporters like Damokles and myself. Pay no attention to the Daveywavey, the wannabe pirate rodent. It would be nice to get some details about them someday however :*
