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.

I want to play as a Summoner and be able to help my allies and even have independent damage. To not always be dependent but to always help.
And in AoC the theme of constellation and religion is really attracting me, I'm very curious to see what it will be like...

Still aiming for at LEAST One Summoner+Cleric Build. Because Necromancers are cool.

Maybe a Fighter with Cleric as well. Let's see how close i can get to be a Paladin or Crusader or so.

At least One Rogue shouldn't be missing as well. I love Rogues since Dark Project/Thief. One of the very nostalgic Series' which started a whole Franchise.

I don't know.

We still haven't seen how combining 2 classes will actually work. It was previously said we'll see it in alpha 2, so I'm hopeful to see in the upcoming months.

In theory, I'd like to play a DPS that can sustain.
In theory, it would be a melee build, so a Fighter.
In theory, I would spice it up with some magic abilities, so Fighter + Mage (Spellsword), Fighter + Cleric (Highsword), should appeal to me. Even Mage + Fighter, or Mage + Tank is interesting.

But until I see the abilities, how they interact, and how the class itself plays, I have no idea.

I'm definitely not committed into any one thing right now.

- The Mage and Cleric look like the most fleshed-out classes right now.
- I want to see Bard and Summoner, and Rogue update.
- Rogue + Caster class (Nightspell, Shadow Lord, Cultist, Charlatan) intrigues me. I like the magic-augmented melee style but the Fighter wasn't really appealing to me.

I'm gonna be the very best, like no one ever waas..

But yeah, way too early still to really tell. I'll see what ya'll be doing in A2.

Clonage

I usually main Supports or Healers.

Have to wait for the Alpha/Betas to decide. But atm without testing anything I'm interested in building a Bard, Female Light Haired Empyrean Elf, using one of the Bow types (in style of FF14 Bard).

For an Alt(or if i end up loving a Martial class as main), I'll probably build a Gigachad Tulnar ^^

ExiledByrd

I'm looking at 2 options. First, a highly mobile roaming DPS. Someone who can travel around, avoid things that need to be avoided, and take opportunities that present themselves. Maybe master some gathering skills.
Second, a support or healer build that is entirely for group play. Focus on raids, dungeons and caravans. I'm thinking a crafter or processor would be better.

Hard to say what my secondary will be honestly. And I choose my race based on racial traits for PvP. But these are the classes that sound the most appealing to me from most to least.

1. Predator, Rogue/Ranger
2. Assassin, Rogue/Rogue
3. Scout, Ranger/Rogue
4. Highsword, Fighter/Cleric
5. Cultist, Rogue/Cleric
6. Archwizard, Mage/Mage

As far as preference to races purely by aesthetic, favorite to least

1. Kaelar Human
2. Dünir Dwarf
3. Empyrean Elf
4. Niküa Dwarf

The only way I will ever play a disgusting Tulnar is if their racials excel above all others for PvP.

I am not sure yet, I'm still trying to make my mind up. I usually play melee DPS but I wasn't really convinced by the Fighter from the updated showcase, so going to have to test it and see what it actually plays like.

I'd like to try a Ranger and Possibly a Tank, some of their abilities intrigued me and would like to play around with a Tanks' augments to see what could be done DPS wise.

As for races, I really hope the Dwarves don't look too little, like they're kids running about the world like they did in A1, it would put me off them. Always had a soft spot for Elves and those Empyrean Elves are looking cool...

I really wish the Rogue was going to be in Alpha 2 on day one. I usually play Melee dps / tank and occasionally a healer in PvP. This time though I want to try out the dirty tricks coward class it just seems like the smart thing to do in a PvP game, yes AoC is a PvP game. What does PvX even mean lol.

My dream would be to create a summoner/necromancer with melee weapons alternating between spear, 2h sword and sword/shield depending on situation.

Curse, bleed and poison opponents while my companion claws them down ready with micro cc to counter opponents. I would be kiting and saving cooldowns to burst them down when they get tired or lose focus.

This would require a good AI from the game to have companion you can control that enemies cant completely cheese behind a fence or cliff. It is still a dream I cherish

Chicago

I'm thinking as a main class, ranger, I've never really played one but the fact they can blend in with the environment is really cool,

As for secondary we will need to test this, either bard if the buffs they provide are beneficial or maybe clerics for some offheals
