It seems that every type of character gets pretty much the same skills.  Each healer gets the same skills....direct heal, HoT, a direct dmg, a DoT.  Each tank gets the same skills....At least up until lvl10.  Haven't played past that, but if the pattern continues, then ...just seems like they didn't put much room for difference.

Another useless post.

It's kind of true really. From what I've seen from starting levels of mirror characters, Bright wizards and Sorcerers get identical skills, even animations are the same. Also goes for Rune priests and zealots.

I guess you guys have never played Lineage II right ?! lol...

I don't know for WAR since i haven't got into the CB and wont be preordering the game JUST to play the OB (this is juste a little critic against people using the term "Open Beta" who used to be in my time open to all the public... but whatever), BUT for Lineage II you would get pretty much the same spells and skills for the 4 races until level 20 and even there, your 2nd classe skills would be around 50% of the similar classe of the other races.

Still, it was fun ! :)

But as i said, i don't know for WAR...

I played Lineage 2 and sure some of the skills were the same...up until you picked your subclasses or whatever they were called.  But so far in war, every class is a mirror image of the opposing class.

hes right you know, i played to level 2 and found the skills and itemisation to be frankly rubbish. also, the lack of raids at level 2 will kill this game, we need dungeons and mad lewts to keep our attention.

basically this game is not similar enough to WoW for me.

Mirror classes get a lot of carry over but saying 'all healers get the same spells' is not true at all.

In your op you said every healer gets a hot etc but really this isnt true if you read about the classes some healers have to melee to heal better others can just stand off and heal.

Yes healers heal and dps ermm dps but there is a mix off it and tbh every class his its strengths and weakness's and ways they can be played to be better,your op doesnt really do much except leave you open to be flamed.

W T F did you expect? I have not played a minute but hell on earth what did you think WAR is? It's a friggin RvR MMORPG.

It's not revolutionary and they NEVER said it was, they said it would be a new RvR experience like DaoC was, but taken a step further. A quality MMORPG, running, fluid, styled, balanced, fun. If you're looking for a miracle game go join Brad McQuaids secret vision cult or sth whatever...

I am sorry but posts like this only shows that some poeple are so closeminded when it comes to something NEW and new class mechanics that they only see what they want to see. Think every healer is the same? Try a Warrior Priest and tell me what you think. It is by far the most fun and unique healer I have ever played.

not saying the OP is a troll... but saying "every healer gets healing spells and every tank gets aggro spells" is kinda trollish... even tho the OP doesn't maybe know that.... but do tell then... what else do you expect? what is there except for buffs, debuffs, heals, damgage, hot and dot...

ok... maybe leach... we have some of those spells too... but what else can you invent?

Man idk wtf games people are comparing this too but I would hardly call 800 unique Spells all the same,not to mention  all the RvR spells.

Making a complaint when you have played 1/4th of the lvls and most likely 1 character,the odacity

 Every spell is unique and highly specialized if you cant figure out how to use em thats your problem not Mythics.

Peoples complaints are getting more and more  ridiculous,next your gonna hear "the graphics are ok,but not enough like WoW",and "ill be dammed if im going to play a game where the classes are balanced"

Post history tells me everything I need to know.

I don't have to read about the classes.  I've played them.  And the types of classes tanks/healers/ranged dps/dps have the same basic skills. My OP was to get feedback, maybe they change at higher lvls?  Why would someone flame me for trying to find out if the skills remain mirror images of each other the rest of the game or not?

What the fuck are you talking about?  a miracle game?  All i said was that the skills are the same basic skill for the basic classes.

Having a balanced game and giving each character types the same skill is very different.

Well like I said Mythic built the game backwards and god forbid they actually focused on an endgame but here we have someone crying about how 200 of the lvl 10 spells are similar ffs its 200 spells what do you expect theres dps ranged melee and casters for both sides ofcos some will seem similar at least they gave everything their own unique animation.

lol your a waste of time,seriously you havnt played shit if you actually believe what your shoveling.

again... seven... define diversity please :o) a heal is a heal... it can heal instant or over time... it can have a big start or finish or be gradual over time... but it's all just a heal... how can it be different? the "difference" is in the way they use them... building up rage or blood magic... stacking up moves... stuff like that...
