What Race/Class Combo will you be using?

Demostrathe

Me personally i will be going Kaelar/Spellmancer (Summoner+Mage) because summoner is said to be able to shift their roles or a Dunir/Paladin (Tank+Cleric) so i could heal myself relieving pressure off our healer what about you guys?

Songcaller

Vaelune Enchanter (Summoner/Bard).

Azherae

I was going to be an Empyrean Shadow Disciple (probably only that, I don't often have alts if the game's options for making storyline are deep).

Now I'm moreso 'waiting to see what class design philosophy Intrepid actually uses' since I've gotten over my arrogant 'well of course they're gonna do it this way'.

I'm still really hoping for Empyrean Shadow Disciple though. Or more accurately, I'm hoping for 'WHM/NIN', 'Dual Blades-Healing', Sevarog, Seris/Corvus, etc, and hoping that Shadow Disciple is some combination of those.

I don't know what else I'd play since I consider the playstyle fairly specific, so if it doesn't work out I'll hope they surprise me, in the good way.

Ludullu

Dunir Tank

Marcet

Brood Warden Vek

JamesSunderland

Probably Kaelar Dreadnought

Solvryn

Tulnar Wild Blade

AlmostDead

Kaelar Shadow Disciple.

Super hyped to see details on how the rogue secondary will augment the Cleric.

I generally focus on a single character, but I might alt a Kaelar Songcaller in the early days to see if the bard gameplay is compelling. Maybe I can sort that out during A2 so I can focus solely on my Shadow Disciple at launch.

Ren'Kai, Argent (Tank + Bard)

I like the idea of being able to buff allies in addition to just soaking damage, and I think Bard may be the most underplayed class (at least amongst my friends), so it will be nice to have the variety.

SkylarckTheBotanist

Tulnar Scout

Kilion

Kaelar Bladedancer
Niküa Shaman
Empyean Scout

SunScript

No proper Monk in this game so Cultist (Rogue/Cleric). I expect it to work a bit like the Dancer in FFXI, but more damage oriented. Dual wielding weapons, vampiric healing off my melee hits, evasive abilities, heals for my party or maybe share my vampiric heals, and damage reliant on carefully timed combos.

RazThemun

Dunir- Templar
Vek- Predator

Austrinaut

Vaelune most likely, and either fighter/mage or mage/fighter.

I have plenty of time to test it out since I've got A2 access.

Caww

Wood elf/ Ranger-Ranger (did I just stutter?)

Evilblood

Vek Duelist (Rogue+Fighter)

Vaknar

Some fun looking combos here 👀📝

WHIT3ROS3

I'm trying not to approach characters with a preformed idea of what I would like to see, but rather judging what I would like to try on what we actually see. I like playing all different kinda roles at different times as I like to change things up. (I love the fact that races/archetypes aren't locked in the way we see in many other MMO's) From what we have seen so far, this is how they rank for me in terms of "I wanna play that".

Ranger
Mage
Fighter
Cleric
Tank

Hopefully, the list will continually shift and change as more is revealed. (Really hope Tanks get some serious love and some cool, unique abilities that stand next to other archetypes.) The holy grail is for all Archetypes to be as equally as cool. I say cool a lot. lol

Dünir Shadowblade (Fighter + Rogue)

I made this class poll a while ago, figured I'd make a new copy and repost to get a fresh set of stats.

(hopefully this embedded google form works, if not link below)

The races haven't really drawn my attention much, so I'll have to see what friends and wife are eyeing.

That being said, I'm super interested in the Summoner class (and aside from the question), the Scribe craft. They both seem to be the most confusing in terms of thinking about what they do mechanically, and what role they will serve in a party/economy.

Dezmerizing

Py'rai falconer (or bowsinger/scout depending on how the secondary archetypes play out!)!

My plan is making seasonal py'rais c: (because of my love for eladrins)

My ranger will be spring, my tank will be summer, my bard will be autumn and my summoner will be winter!

Depraved

90% cleric
5% bard
2.5% rogue
2.5% summoner

after playing them in alpha 2 ofc ;3

secondary doesn't matter, I guess ill change depending on the augments and situation

MannyTheLabRat

Kaelar Minstrel (Bard+Bard)

Sybil_Lanel

I will be playing a Vaelune Bard most likely siren(bard/tank) as a main. I have plans to make a Py'rai Cleric named KiKi Lemons.

Jettatura

For A2 I'll be making a handful of avatars, and hopefully save them for when I eventually dip into alts.

I will most certainly be playing a Vaelune spellcaster of some sort, like a mage or a cleric. Once summoner comes out, I'll be doing everything in my power to make summoner my main.

Catmonkey

I don't know yet. I want to be a nature-based healer of some sort. Last I checked, there wasn't really anything suitable.

At the moment I'm leaning towards Py'rai as they at least seem to be based in nature as a race.

For class I guess Cleric, but I really hate the whole "holy" thing. It looks like the only other option is Bard, but they're non-healing support. I don't want to be a buff bot, so I guess I'll have to wait and see how they turn out.

SirChancelot

Either a Py'Rai summoner or Tulnar tank.

Depends on what the summoner can do. If I don't enjoy it's play mechanics, chonky tanks are my go to.

Glagnar

Dünir Fighter/Bard= Bladedancer or Fighter/ranger= Hunter. Owning a Travern or being Blacksmith

Behague

Empyrean Highsword Fighter/Cleric
