Well if beast master works out the way I hope it does I'll annoy the enemy to death

I know I'm going to go summoner (pet builds are best builds) which from what I've read so far are going to be a jack of all trades (summoning up to 3 with a choice between dps/tank/support) so I'm likely going to be whatever my party needs me to be at the time. Tank died? start switching over to tank summons. Need to burst down the enemy? Dps summons away! Stand back and look pretty? Hello support summons. Though standard set up is probably going to be one of each type for a more general play style until party needs me to adapt and specialize. Summoners are going to be very interesting to play I think.

I plan on being playing the role of a mage. Every other RPG I've played it seems like I've always played as a melee based warrior, so for me playing as a mage will be a new and exciting role to play as. Looking forward to it!

I will be the one kicking ass and taking names!

Realistically, it kind of depends on the info we get about the classes. I usually like to play hybrid healer types that afford a huge amount of sustain. I might not kill things as quick as a full DPS but rest assured I will be the only one standing when it's over.

Really hoping there will be a melee healer option because I have a lot of fun playing them. Paladin in WoW, Friar in DAoC and WarriorPriest in WAR are 3 good examples of my class choices.

Completely agree with you mate, personally planning on the beast master route very interested in the augments ranger would give to summoner gives my summons cc skills? Or maybe it actually goes with the name and give a little more variety to summons idk but I'm excited to try,

Imo, the most annoying healers are the ones that think they are more special than other guild members and keep banging "I am the healer, do as I say or else".

I feel like there's a story here we need to hear.

It's hard. I still have to pick a class. I damn sure am not playing healer again. I have spent too much time being pocket heals for friends in PvP.

But that's some of the most fun!

I agree with this partly. I'm a bit undecided between Cleric or Bard. I play support of some kind in all games I play because it's just what I find most fun. Typically I play a healer but few games do support well or at all, so I've got an eye on the Bard because it seems like it has potential. I'll likely have both but the question is which do I level first.

But for my Cleric I typically enjoy the same type of healer. Doesn't have to be melee, but definitely your traditional Chain/Plate wearing Cleric/Paladin healer that has heals for days, never dies, and is amazing and keeping their team alive through anything. They don't have a ton to offer in other departments but they make up for it by being unkillable and annoying their enemies any time they're around.

Bard, though reminds me of my Chanter in Aion which was a fun role as well. With a variety of great supportive buffs, debuffs, and heals, along with their dps abilities, they were in the thick of it meleeing with a staff, and switching between roles as needed. Always keeping an eye on the whole battlefield and your team, learning to anticipate their needs and pull out whatever skill they needed at that moment - is your healer falling behind? Is your team taking heavy damage and needs a defense buff? Is your DPS about to make a big push and needs an offensive buff or major CD? Or all is ok and you can charge in and wack the bad guys? True full support.
