What will your characters build be?

I am aware how early it is, but we can speculate a little. I am curious what sort of character builds everyone is thinking about doing. Let hear the class fantasies you have. We don't know much about religion or social groups, but feel free to speculate. Mostly, I'm curious how the general consensus and most desired builds. I wish we could do polls.

As my main, I want to create an Kaelar Archwizard (Mage/Mage). I plan to put the maximum possible amount of my skills into the hardest hitting abilities, and the rest can go into defensives, escapes, and methods to create distance. Hopefully I can make the lightning strike a sort of fire lightning strike with augments and create a glass cannon. I hope to stay on the edges of the battle sniping lightning bolts like Merlin up on a hill. WTB pet owl.

Second, a Kaelar Predator (Rogue/Ranger) sounds awesome. Rogue is a favorite class of mine, and combining stealth with some ranger flare will be a scary wilderness PvP build. I plan to get some cosmetics to camouflage in with the Riverlands and basically be Naked Snake from Metal Gear Solid 3. He will definitely be in the Thieves guild.

Lastly, a huge and terrifying Tulnar Necromancer (Summoner/Cleric) would be pretty cool. He will look as close to evil/dead as possible with creepy black robes. Imagine an army of the dead by combining a party of other Necro's. I will need a pet snake.

Lets hear what else everyone is hoping to do.

Oh boy, my necromancer army is inbound!

In Honor to my "as-egdy-as-possible" looking Avatar -> i too plan to make a Necromancer. (lol)

While i am not going to play a Tulnar right away,
i want to go with a more Northern looking Human.

My Style, what my Character is supposed to wear, is supposed to look as celtic and/or northern as ingame possible : maybe mixed or alternated with something practical.

We all know this, do we ? Possibilities of "Transmogs" will be a huge thing. If Ashes can have such a System, similar or same as it was implemented into WoW later -> that would be great.

You can be our Necro leader and we'll roll deep. I hope that we get transmogs, dyes, AND skins. I just hope they keep the fantasy low and cool. I hate seeing everyone glowing like they're Zeus or something. I like to keep it believable like Lord of the Rings style outfits. It looks like that's what they're aiming for! Maturity at last.

generaly prefer ranged dps (casters normally) or non healer supports although i sometime go into melee or healer occasioanly

Ha~rd to say. Something that can camouflage would be nice.
Stealthgameplay and maybe the ability to enter a place crawling with highlevel mobs, way earlier than normal due to them being unable to see me.
Or maybe something that can climb walls and stuff and has manueverability other classes do not.
This has always been cool for me.

Simply being able to enter & explore area's which are offlimits to most players or normally only accessable by a party, but doing it solo, is something I have always felt to be very cool and satisfying.
Grouping up will be cool too of course.
But I need all options.

I’m going ranger bard dps. Focusing dps buffing bard abilities.

Complete Stealth is said to be impossible / non-existent.

However, apparently there will be a few Stealth-Options, that maybe make a Player like +50% +60% less easy to spot. At least this is how it sounded like.

I personally hope for stealthy Clothing. Maybe they will even make the Player semitransparent or so.

During night, when also rains, seeing translucent players could be hard.

Well, Night-time - under the "Cover of Darkness" - that is the Time when a Rogue shines, right ?

Be it in Reallife, or in Fantasy - usually sneaky People aim for all things possible that helps them avoiding being seen, identified, caught. Etc.

Would be AWESOME if Rogue's would have a Skill that lets them be less visible and harder to see, during Nighttime.

The darkness we seen last stream was at limit, without rain.
Add rain, the rogue partial invisibility and have 8 of them, all in black outfits and there will be enough confusion.

Thanks. For making this sounds so g~damn awesome.

I'm always a healer so Cleric, but don't think I will be double cleric because I think I think the main archetype has more than enough healing.

Going to have to wait to see which secondary is the most fun/effective. If ranger gives shapeshifting and I can create a druid, maybe, summoner if you get a decent pet or pets, Tank or fighter, for good defense, or Mage for mobility. If all that is meh, I'll get bard to buff as well as heal, and be the ultimate support.

Bard! Bard! Bard! I am anxiously waiting to see if Intrepid can make a fun and engaging bard class. In my mind a Vaelune Minstrel will be my main.

Other than that I am looking forward to experimenting with the Vek and Nikua, and the other archetypes. They all sound like good fun.

I want to be whatever gets me close to feeling like a Final Fantasy Dragoon or a Retribution Paladin.

So ideally a Fighter with a Spear/polearms, and either some Mage or Cleric augments to do beeg deeps and teleport around or be mega survivable and outlast them all.

Dimitraeos

Whatever the closest arch/aug combo is that gets me to something like a Paladin.

Heavy armor knight with (probably) a 1H + Shield (unless I really like how Fighter feels) + holy energy for heals/group support.

Ditto. High Priest.

I usually run a higher DPS alt along with my main healer, and Archer looks pretty fun. Might do a mage too. Might go with a Rogue named Stabbystabstab.

We know for sure that spears are in the game and that they will be be two handed. What I'm curious to see is if they end up being swung like swords as well or function as actual spears or partisans/ranseurs at least.

As far as I remember they're supposed to be showcased once we get a new weapons showcase (last one only showed big swords and daggers, the Ranger gameplay showed long and short bows, and the mage showcase showed the wands.). So that's definitely one I'm very interested about. Hopefully they give them cool abilities and animations.

Solo PvX build

I'm not picky when it comes to gameplay, I can enjoy pretty much anything. I think my final decision will mostly be down to aesthetics.

I am tentatively interested in the bard -- though prancing around the battlefield with the flute or a lyre isn't really my cup of tea, if they have an option for war drums, I think it could actually be really cool.

I'm also somewhat interested in tank, but probably not my first choice. I'd like to know a bit more about the game first, since I know a lot of responsibility comes with that class.

Apok

I like to prioritize DPS in group content, will be looking to see what can effectively tank while putting out as much dps as possible
