Age of Conan

AoC is a great game if you are melee or a healer.  If you are someone like me who enjoys mage classes, this probably isn't the game for you.  Unless you like being 2 shot in pvp with no viable way to keep melee off you.  There is a reason why "the outside world:" can't see the offcial forums. 

This entire game feels as though it revolves around the innovative melee combat system.  Casters are just an after-thought and feel out of place. 

Just my two cents.  The game is beautiful, and very fun to play as melee (and to a lesser extent healer).  I would recommend the game to anyone that wants to melee.

and, what of Spellweaving?

I'm pretty sure rangers are tough biscuits..they're not just melee.

as I recall, conan was original about a barb hacking people to bits, and not spellslingers.

to a lesser extent a healer? healers are more fun in this game then any game i have ever played.... And casters come into there own at 80. Yes you kinda suck on the way up, but this game isn't wow, its not built to be balanced around each lvl, its all about 80 and pvp.

So basically the game sucks from levels 1 through 79?

Nice!

Doesn't work correctly.  Pretty much just a light show at this point in time.  Even diabled for one class due to bugs.  Cosmetic.  Available at level 50 only.

I tend to agree actually, I'm playing a Tempest of Set and a Ranger, and it seems far more time was spent on providing the ranger with a great variety of combat moves, where as the Tempest has a limited amount of abilities.  Of course, I'm only level 17 and later on the class may come into its own, but right now 5 second roots just aren't doing a whole lot of good.

I suppose being able to nuke harder than the mage classes, have better armor and shield, and the ability to heal would make healers the most fun healers to play in the history of MMOs.  I agree 100% with your statement.

Don't get me wrong.  I actually like the game.  I'm not bashing it as a whole.  Its just that the game balance is so far out of whack it actually comical.

Then casters will be even ground when it's fixed most likely.

I agree 100%.  You make my point for me.  Good or bad, its a melee game.

Somethin' wrong with arrows?
