Which Ashes of Creation Class Are You Looking to Choose?

I am not sure I would like to be a squishy healer staying as far as possible from the enemies and shooting healing arrows... unless they are homing arrows. With all those players moving and jumping around each-other, hitting your half damaged team member with an arrow which also has travel time can be a lottery.
But I've seen some funny video clip from another mmo posted by somebody to highlight how homing arrows can act. So while increasing the range, the healing spells should still remain "magically realistic". (magic is not illogical)

Obviously pure speculation on my part but you're describing how I imagine Soulbow will play not protector, I dont want to be shooting arrows on my Cleric

hard to make a choice without description. i love chaotic/RNG class(Wild mage from baldur's gate, Arcana from lost ark etc, trying to tame the power of RNG), shapechange/gameplay change on the fly and Final Fantasy summon (big long and flashy).

for RNG lovers: wild surge from baldur's gate for Wild Mage, a legendary class.

I also would love at least 1 luck based class

Well, but ranger should do damage instead of healing.
I think some combinations are "forced" by the matrix and would not naturally appear when a game designer would just try to imagine a new class.

Songcaller

Bow Cleric would be a beast with a horizontal enchantment to turn physical damage to magical damage.

Strevi

Now that I think about the ranger+fighter, I imagine him hitting enemies' heads with the bow.
Also poking them into the eyes could work.
Today is not my best day.

RockHound

At this stage I will start as a Vek Cleric/Summoner (Shaman)... I feel like this will synergize well... especially at sea... It's all speculation right now.

ThatGuyPowers

If it’s anything like the mmos I’ve played in the past I will say the entire time before the next alpha and release that I will play something other than mage and still I will inevitably main a mage so I’m going with sorcerer, magician or trickster equipped with a handle mustache and a massive wizard hat and or top hat

Aliandria

I may have to rethink my choice with Necromancer being so popular at this stage!

Sweatycup

It's hard to say with so little public/finished yet. But none-the-less currently looking forward to bard, songwarden or songcaller as support. For more of a paladin build which never seems to disappoint in most mmo's a highsword or paladin. A beastmaster (Personal vote on Strawpoll) might be interesting as it was in SWG but will have to see, would be fun to shop around and find the best bred pets. A battlemage might be a interesting choice as well. Its incredibly hard to say personally. The only class i was not planning to try was rogue variants.

SunScript

Cultist (Rogue/Cleric) because I like the Dancer in FFXI both as a main and sub, ie hit with dual daggers a lot and heal people/myself from it. And plenty of evasion.

Freemeta

i wish they pick the best class gameplay from mmorpg history.

Synodic

Some type of cleric, but I will see how things develop. Voted templar at this stage.

Arya_Yeshe

Something good in PvP and if I can be creative while killing others it is a plus.
