My Pre-playing the game thoughts

Tartay

So now that OB is soon upon us I thought I might make my class observations about the game with absolutely no knowledge on whether or not anything I say will hold any water.  I figure I will roll a Gladiator due to warriors rolls in pvp in most MMOs.  If the class balance is like most MMOs warriors are supposed to be in the middle of stuff wacking away at enemies in group pvp while taking the brunt of the damage.  I don't expect to be the top of the dps but I also figure I will be annoying as hell because my survivability mixed with decent damage should pose some sort of threat.  Sure rangers will probably be able to kite me 1v1, but thats the way its supposed to be.  But assassins should be the opposite where I will take em down because they cant damage me enough thro my armor.  I figure a good warrior in group pvp will be a formidible opponent. 

 

Just my rambling thoughts with no actual knowledge or insight to how classes will work.

Never played but tried to read extensively on it. I know Assassins rule pvp (see recent threads about the top Asian servers). Though I never feel like playing that class myself.

Most swear to Templars, which are good, but some opposing voices say the Gladiator can hold its own and might even be better for good players.

My playstyle is always one that stays a bit behind the lines, so my class choices were narrowed down to Ranger, Sorceror, Spiritmaster and with some temptation to go for a healer. Chanters seem unpopular though, So a cleric.

After reading a lot I realized that Spiritmasters have problems in pvp due to they lose their pets if they fly too far. So some people say they can be easily overpowered.

That really narrows it down to Ranger, Sorceror and Cleric. I think I am leaning towards a Ranger, as I never tried to play this kind of class much. But I don't think I can make a final decision before I am inside the character creator...

 

Have fun tonight all!

I will be a Chanter Priest. I think it is going to be rare enough to make me stand out and it seems to require a lot of multi-tasking and attention from the player to play it well so I am hoping to be able to shine in comparison to others who attempt the class.
