For me Tulnar but may change in the future.

For the class, nightspell focusing on bursting enemies quickly out of stealth!

Personally I'm not dead set on anything yet, as we don't really have enough information regarding the augment system for me to make a solid choice. But right now here are my top 2.

1.) Pyrai Ranger - I'm traditionally a shooter player and pride myself on my aim, so I'm hoping ranged combat in Ashes helps translate that skillset. In the past I've also really enjoyed playing ranger archetypes in MMOs. I like the Pyrai because they look really cool and I've always loved the fantasy aspect of wood elves. For secondary archetypes I'm leaning towards rogue making me a scout for stealthy escapes / approaches. However, I also enjoy healing so depending on how the soulbow (cleric secondary) plays I might opt for that for a damage off healer hybrid.

2.) Vek Wildblade - I love the idea of a more spiritual orc race which seem to be what Intrepid is going for with the Vek. In the MMOs that I have played in the past, orcs have mostly been pigeonholed into melee dps / tank roles. I like the idea of a magic wielding orc that can also use his size to engage in melee combat. I just hope that the summoner class is more engaging then summoning trash mobs that do all the work for you with no real player interaction.

This is how original I am: I'm most likely going to be playing a vek summoner. I want to name him smeagol or Gollum and plant a freehold in the mountains, just outside of a gold mine. Ill buy all the harvested Gold Ore from the gatherers there and ill process it all at my freehold. I will dedicate myself to finding an artisan that crafts me the perfect GOLD RING. I will then Place that Gold Ring at my Player stall in my freehold for $999999999999 and so everyone will know that I have the one ring to rule them all, and it will be mine for all eternity (until the node is destroyed and my freehold attacked).

I'll be desert folk probably as a shaman. This depends on what the class feels like of course.

Dolyem

Kaelar Highsword possibly.

But now that we have a better look at the nikua, if they have racials that have to do with sailing, they have gone from a zero to a strong candidate.

Classes that interest me are Highsword, Strider, Hunter, Scout, Predator, Cultist, and perhaps a soulbow.

My Race choice will be ultimately determined by their racial abilities/passives.

Honestly, im the most vanilla player ever. Im probably going to be a human with a sword lmao

ABKuyt

Human because I want to create an identical version of myself in the creator.

CROW3

Dünir Ranger

Amist

Empyrean Tank - not sure about my secondary class though

Bullvinne

This is all dependent on actual class/race info but i fairly certain i want to play a summoner.

Race will likely be the best one stat/abikity wise for summoner but the purple orks, antlered elfs, underground races, and islander dwarves look pretty cool.

Truepanda

An Empyrean Dreadnaught because holy shit that sounds awesome.

mcstackerson

Tulnar fighter + something. I usually like playing a tanky frontline melee.

I will choose to play as Tulanr if it's appeals to me when they really show the 3D model to us, alternative options are Ren'Kai Vek Py'Rai or Empyrean. I usually play less human like race while I have a choice in any game.

I want to play Summoner or Ranger mainly depends on what they will show us in future, maybe I will play both, I now prefer class able to do lots of things and they said "Summoners can shift their roles easily to fill gaps in a group's composition" in wiki so I looking forward to see it and Ranger is my second choice if I don't like Summoner the reason is I do traditional archery and I like it and I gave some opinions to developers already, if these two are not what I want alternative option is Rogue the reason is stealth is handy.

YOY

I guess i'll just roll a dice

ThatGuyPowers

I'm more than likely going to play a tulnar I play a charr in guild wars 2 and a hrothgar in final fantasy so the beast race is always my go to

as for class I am a diehard ranger

Iridianny

Vek or Py'rai as they are the best fantasy world models. Class will be dependent on the backstory that comes with character creation.

DeadDuckling

Orc Shaman (Cleric+Summoner). My first character in WoW was an orc shaman, back in 2007. I only made it to lvl 45 before i got bored. Hoping Ashes will be better

Vaknar

Love these threads 😇

Personally, I'm pretty sure I'm going to play a Niküan Bladedancer 🏝🤺🕺

Can't wait to see what you all say!

Sathrago

Well now I have three options im waiting to see on before I decide. I will play a Renkai shadowmancer, Tulnar (lizardman) Weapon master, or a Vaelune Warlock. I might just make all of them, im not sure yet. Gotta figure out something that just feels good to play and look badass.

Mag7spy

Honestly its hard to decide what race i want to be, the more i hear about the lore on races the more interested i am in them. Though It most likely will be a elf or human based on the lore and the class ill be playing.
