White Lion?

Lazirus

I've read the forums, and looked around a bit, and i haven't really found any opinions from people who have played this class. I am considering b/w this, Bright Wizard, or Witch Hunter. I have already seen opinions on BW and WH, so can i get some info on the white lion please?

I am playing a White Lion in OB and am enjoying it a lot. 

As far as PvE goes you can really choose if you want to tank, or have your lion tank. You get a good number of backstab skills (or skills that do something special if you are behind), but you also get a taunt that lowers your lions agro production.

In PvP I try to trick people into attacking my lion first to make it easier for me to line up and get my backstab skills off .. make sure you keep good track of him though, he really is your other half, so if you get into a fight with a challenging opponent while your lion is off doing something else you will be in trouble.

/ignore the Lion and go after the Master...the whole "head of the snake" mentality.

They are pretty rare now it seems don't see many,but they are pretty nasty and deal good damage atleast the WH's is saw all ended up first by a long shot in scenario's even more damage then BW's

Then again this is all beta and low level experience no clue how it will be in the later levels, just try one mate you can always shelv it if you don't like it

That's one of the bigger reasons why I hate most controller type classes in MMOs. It's a simple mentality to beat one, just swap the head to kill the beast, and this goes for almost any class. They're a very easy class to counter from most games I've found. That's just me though, I haven't played this class once while in beta (as, I don't really like control type classes) so I wouldn't know how it fares with other classes.

In all honesty I don't know why you're asking us. You seem to be the most interested in the White Lion as it is your title and you mention it the most, so just play it. It doesn't matter if it's OP or UP right now; it's going to be constantly flopping, as it does in all class-based MMOs since it's practically impossible to make perfect balance (or at least, when it does happen in MMOs it's balance is eventually lost). I'd pick it on the type of style you like, nothing else to be honest. White Lion is melee dps with a pet; witch hunter is WAR's version of the rogue; bw is a mage. Not too hard.
