I want to play support to some degree, but the augmentations will decide whether I play Summoner/Bard or Bard/Summoner or Bard/Cleric.
Yea! Support is an often neglected role in MMOs. There is a big difference between a healer and support in my opinion.
I was thinking along the same lines! Either Mage cleric or cleric mage!
Support seems really great! Most MMOs dont offer that!
Oh and planning on Mage/Mage

There's a reason why i made my Forum post about off rolling lol.
But until I see more gameplay to do with summons and how having them affect your character it's hard to be sure, may also be leaning towards a mage, or even a fighter.
Big magic and big smashies are generally good in all games.
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.
Yea, I feel like some of these names are not that logical/stressed. They could definatly need to redo some names.
If you knew where they were, they would be bad rogues
Well, I dont think you need to be a "tank" class to tank.
A fighter/tank, rogue/tank, Cleric/tank summoner/tank will probably also be able to tank
That's a freakishly good distribution all things considered! That makes me even more hyped.
I really hope this is the case. And i hope, like you said earlier, that most classes will be able to throw on a sword/shield pre 25 to pseudo tank. Other wise its going to be so irritating getting groups together. We'll have to wait and see how its going to work once the alpha is released.
I would think a main tank would be tank/something and if you just want to sorta tank you could maybe get by with something/tank
Ya and thats fine post 25. Im just alot more worried about pre 25 when you dont have a secondary. Like can a fighter put on a sword and shield to hold aggro or will his lack of taunt make it make it nearly impossible to do?
In most MMOs at low levels CC is your tank
Probably streaming EverQuest...
You aren't wrong.

With a standard party of 8 it might not be as bad as you think. 1 tank, 1 melee tanky dps to offtank, 1-2 healers depending on the amount of support, 1-2 support depending on how many healers, 3 pure dps is how I'd see a standard party looking.
A sort of dark knight, with spooky powers.
It is only perfect if every class is equally important to the group. The problem arise when Tanks and Healers are significantly more important than the other classes. If its possible to do content with ,say, 1 tank, 6 mages and a healer or literally any combination of dps, we'll be in for a hell of a lot of supply and demand problems for tanks and healers.
