I was originally going to be a chanter as my main, but after reading this thread and a couple others, I'm having second thoughts lol. I've had some experience as a pvp healer, but not enough to be so confident in my abilities that I think I could do well in the harsh environment Aion is going to provide. I particularly liked the idea of Chanter, since I'd (in theory) always be useful to the group somehow (unless there is already another chanter). I've always excelled more at dps type classes though, and wonder if I wouldn't be better off rolling one of the mage classes (neither of the scout classes particularly interest me, and glad I may roll later, but not as my main). I've heard that chanters are really more about hots at the endgame, while clerics put out the direct heals and dispels. I am concerned that most of the unique aspects of my class will come in the form of passive effects though, and that I'll be left with a very simple dps rotation that will be boring in pve and not do enough damage to warrant putting myself in the crossfire for in pvp. So after the buffs are applied and pvp starts, will I be reduced to a second-rate heal spammer, or are my melee abilities actually going to see much use? Atleast as a cleric, I could nuke from range and contibute both ways if needed... They are easy enough to solo with and fun to buff/heal others while questing, but still... Anyone gotten a taste of abyss pvp enough to see chanters in action? |

I'm still going to stick with a chanter. I heard that they sort of stay still 30-40 and then pick back up. Healers are really OP at lower levels which probably will be why so many are going to roll one it seems. I think a lot of them will respec in the mid levels though once it gets more difficult.

Theres always a lack of healers in MMO's simply because nobody wants to be a buff/heal bot all day long with minimal combat skills. Unless of coarse the healers have pretty decent fighting skills, at least enough to be able to handle themselves well against mobs alone. We will see :P usually the most popular classes are Rangers, Mages or Rouges... tanks and healers are always in short supply because people like DD classes (damage dealer) |

OP has to remember that the healing classes in WoW only have one healing spec. 3x4=12 (3 specs of the 4 healer classes) there are 4 specific healer as well as another one disc Priest would could also pass for being a healer. 5/12 Okay so lets say that HALF of all classes that can be healers are actually healers (even though mathematically it is less, the healing specs however may be as popular as the other specs). In the end what I am trying to say is that while there are four classes that can heal, only half of those players who actually play those classes will choose to be healers. So it is more like, 2/10 of classes are healers in WoW, or 1/5. Aion with 2/8 is comparable to WoW and TBH I think the game healing will be fine.
