Sin-Asmo

chanter-elyos

those are the two classes i will start with

I am going Cleric on release because I love healing. So in last beta I wanted to try something completely  different and made a gladiator...OMG I am having a blast!!!

But honestly all classes seems interesting to me and very well ballanced overall.

Gladiator = Main

Chanter = Alt

What can I say, I'm a melee type of guy.  My toons will get owned until I get them in e-peen gear (god willing) but so what, It's more about having fun and not about rolling the OP class of the moment (for me anyway).

I usually always start with a warrior in mmo's. ALWAYS. Then make a priest. (Or the class that resembles each)

It's some weird karma thing I have (I think). Dps/tank toon w/ a healing alt toon to balance my responsibilities and gaming experience.

I'll probably do 1-20 with a gladiator, then 1-20 with a templar, check out the differences.

But a Gladiator is by far the most appealing choice for a guy like me.  I love to 2Hand spank baddies then throw on a shield and tank some mobs once in a blue moon. From my understanding, while not the best tank, Gladiators can step up when called on. So Gladiator as a main will probably be my choice. Priest (dunno about which subclass - even though chanters seem great) will most likely be my alt...

 Im.. shocked that Assassins' aren't higher represented... 

 

Also a good thing IMO :) 

 

Lots of votes for Glads, Clerics, and Sorcerers... I think Sorcerers will be really popular at launch and slowly start fading out a little once people realize that like every mage class, they really shine in the beginning (compared to most classes that shine closer to the end)... 

 

Seems like there will be a nice balance across the classes with this game. 

um check the poll they are voted the highest atm i want to play an assassin but not if everyone and their mother is playing one

Sorcerer all the way.... :)

Ummm.. when I posted that - they were very much under-voted.... somewhere around 6-7%. It actually jumped after I posted that comment ;) 

I think I have to roll with a Cleric.... just seems to be calling me out a little. Ill know more next weekend when  I give it a try :)

i think assassins will be popular at start but soon lots will realise its not a godmode character like for instance the rogue in WoW people start to play another class.

The max it can stealth is between 30 and 50 seconds. so it requires more tactical play then alot of rogue type classes in other games. stealth is on quite a long CD too

Comes closest to the assassin in AoC i think and wasnt over populated there as far as i know

but thats just my opinion and thats why i still roll a sin

Going Spiritmaster then maybe branch off to the other classes after I get used to the game.

 Really its hard to go wrong with any of them. I think my GF settled on a Ranger... which basically I think leaves me with one of the Priest classes. Just a matter if I roll with a Cleric or a Chanter. I think both are wickedly awesome.

You have just filled me in on this, and it has actually now made me change my mind to not wanting to be a Assassin. Now I will maybe go towards being a Spiritmaster for a more pet/warlock/necromancer aproach. It also doesn't look to be very popular. The reason why I chose Herald on AoC :D

I really like spiritmaster for the dots... but the problem is the cooldowns and the fact dots don't stack. That's kind of crippling in my eyes since I plan on being in an alliance when I can. So I'll probably end up sorceror.

I think me and the GF will be seeing how a gladiator/ chanter combo works out to start... though a cleric will be my own main probably.

Actually starting to look forward to Aion now, it'll be nice to get into a game with a solid playerbase and decent support :)

I like to play ranged or tank classes in mmo's. So im thinking of trying the ranger or templar. I'll most likely make both and go with the one i like most and trun the other into an alt.

i have seen a lot of people posting about 2 man teams and from what ive read about in korean pvp one of if not the best duos is 2 rangers blasting everything.

I havent played in beta yet, but plan to this next up event. I'm going Gladiator (FACT). I want that close combat destruction. But also have an alt Ranger later on.. Cause. I want that long range destruction! Plus two man Ranger team would be pretty nukeville if you ask me, with one of my buddies. Haha

its between templar or gladitor. I always play the heavy armor classes since my old skool pencil and paper D&D days though the ranger looks really sweet. 

Ranger. I like the balence they have between DPS and survivability. Assassins and Sorcerers do much more damage, but Assassins are useless in mass PvP and Sorcerers have a pitiful amount of health. Also, Rangers, as i can imagine, play an important role in pursuing enemies, considering they have slows, stuns, and KB. I guess I'm just too pansy to play anything dangerous >_>

The class that can swim.
