I'll be honest... It took me quite a while to figure out what class I wanted to play. But I believe I'm gonna kick this thread off with the Dark Templar. The thought of being encased in heavy armor, using a shield, and life-tapping won me over fast. I see the DT as potentially one of the better soloers in the game (granted he's a soldier archetype). There seems to be many different ways to play a Dark Templar as well. I'm probably going to try and absorb as much damage as possible while focusing on my lifetap abilities to potentially give me more life than I'm losing during fights. I'm looking forward to PvPing with the DT for sure.

What class do YOU want to play and why?

Assassin....Stygian Assassin,  with a Camel named Robert.

also maybe a tempest (or is it Scion?  i forget) of Set.

i play the assassin because thats my favourite class of ANY game and the Tempest of Set cus healing is fun and i like snakes

Ranger, through and through.

I don't know exactly what to expect from the class, but I know its the one I always play and something tells me that this game is going to offer the best and more accurate experience to what I love about Rangers and archery.

Here's to hoping anyway.

Tempest of set , the priest because evil healers are always my favorite plus the evil race in aoc look so damn sweet.

Anyways cant wait for this game .

There is no evil race. Evil is a subjective concept. Arrogant, maybe, by the estimation of some lesser beings. If you view them as evil, then maybe you shouldn't be playing them.

Stygian Ranger

Well said , maybe i didnt totally do my homework on the races arrogant is good enough for me :)

thinking about an assassin or a bear shaman.

Stygian necromancer!

I'll probably go for a Conqueror. They seem to be the paladins for Age of Conan. And I intend to play a lot with my friends so being the conqueror gives me the opportunity to boost them a bit as well (aura) and debuff the monsters (bad aura) and do some damage of my own :)

But in the end I wanna play all classes ofcourse :D

A Barbarian, they're like a whirlwind with a sword...or hammer.

 Il play the overpowered class,cause each time I pick a class I like,that turns out to be the crappiest and weakest class ingame.

Bear Shaman probably.

FINALLY! A topic discussing the game itself, not it's launch, shortcomings, rumours etc.

Judging by the previous posts, my choice was well taken. Well i usually always play the less appealing class, the class which is usually the less played one aka, wait for it............................ THE GUARDIAN!  

That is indeed all.

P.S: I am in no way saying the class is no good, as we don't really know at this point, but i love tanking, and would prefer to play a not so popular one and OWN with it!

Demonologist first, Aquilonian Guardian second for me.

I want to be a Cyborg/Ninja that uses a combo of funky Disco dance moves and Ninjitsu to impress and awe his many foes even as he breaks their bones. Or a Tempest of Set they are both wicked ass kickers.

I will be in the Ranger class. Love to be the 'sniper'.

Stygian Demonologist/Necromancer - Whichever one is the most fun will be my main. 

demon

Aquilonian Ranger. I just love the fact that Ranger can use all the new features in AoC. Real time blocking, real time hitting with a sword AND ranged.

Cimmerian Barbarian ;)
