Age of Conan

Hello Class problem here :)

I like 2h weapons i like to do alot of dps. Help me what to role here!

I wanted firstly Guardian i read lot of things about them and some people think that solo can do better with 1h + Shield and if i Use Polearm Build i lose some of my tanking abilities...

I will play on PVP server and i want a viable class so im Thinking about Conqueror but the Q is can i do good dps with him and can survive in 1vs1 to etc Assasin?

Help plx!

I picked Conq, so far so good.  I'm gonna go two handed swords...right now I use blunt.

Doesn't the Herald of Xotli use two-handers also?

Give your Account to me and that way you dont have to ask how to play.

2H + High DPS? Just gotta be the Barbarian surely!

Barbarian or HoX

Herald of Xotli's melee attacks are specifically designed for 2h edged weapons.  Its a very fun class, plus you get a creepy looking demon shapeshift form

I started off with a Barbarian which i played to level 10 - great fun. Wanted to try some other classes before i settle in with one so i went for Tempest of Set. This one was different but still fun to play and i stopped at level 12.

I went for another spin, this time with a Guardian. The first thing i noticed was that i was really plowing through the enemies and it felt much quicker to gain in level. I guess the Guardian is both stronger and hit harder but i am currently only level 9 so it is to early to say anything... except that i might stick with this one.

Barbarian or Conqueror I'd say.

I'm not sure if Barbarian are limited in any way in weapon selection between edge, blunt, etc., but Conqueror's stances and manuevers might lend them a bit more staying power and adjustability in the middle of combat.

Heralds of Xotli are alright. I love them. It's what I've been playing so far. At first I felt they were kinda gimp during beta; not as a class, but their two-handed ability compared to other classes.

They deal a ton of damage though, its just all centered around fire damage from melee I think. The length of time it takes some combos to go off seem slow in one on one situations; 'specially compared to Conquerors and Barbarians, but when dropping 4-5 NPCs at a time, its quite predictable and dependable combined with spells. Feats make a few fire-related abilities spread and leap regardless of whether or not you successfully lined a buncha NPCs up within the arc of your swipe.

But Herald of Xotli's are limited to edge weapons of the two-handed variety I do believe.

I found Barbarian to be the most fun after having beta'd almost every class.  This was a surprise to me, personally as I had originally been a big fan of the 'Conqueror' class.  After playing, I'm certainly a rogue as my top three choices are:

Barbarian - 2 hander, duel wielded and bow and arrow... they're all choices I love.  They're pretty tough and do plenty of damage.

Assassin - Fast and deadly if you can move ;)

Ranger - Kind of felt like a weaker Barbarian to me though, but it was still fun.  The thing is with bow/arrow tactics is, the enemy NPC's run CRAZY fast at you and don't seem to spend any of their stamina which I personally think is BS.  If I spend stamina running, so should they but I digress... it was stil fun.

Note - assassin / ranger are of course not 2 handers.
