In almost all mmos i usually start with rangers/archers. As an alt, perhaps an assassin, and then a 3rd alt a big mean warrior. Its quite rare that I create a caster at the start also.
Priest of Mitra here. I love the new healing system, and they seem to be adding CC, nuking, and defensive abilitys to the class as well.
The only thing i'm starting to wonder is my "nuking" effectiveness with such a class. Not that i mind all too much, since i've been playing a healbot for about 10 years now.
With the recent high def. videos that i've seen of casters, they seem to indicate that you do NOT regen mana during combat. (at least not as a lvl 60 offensive caster) Also, there didn't seem to be a "5 second rule" type mechanic in place. Looks kinda lame, seeing how most groups i'd play with would rather I saved the mana for healing.
But oh well.. Seems like a great class to play regardless.
In a typical number crunching MMO, I pick a tank due to the obvious advantages in armor and health, but since Conan requires more finess on the players part, I think I will pick an archer type, I can aim rather well so I should do pretty well defending myself.
Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit
Herald of Xotli for me, I've always like playing as the class that is weak to mediocre in their base form, but can transform in a much stronger alternate ego in CRpgs, and this looks to the first time to really give a class like that a whirl in a MMO.
The Demonologist is tempting also though, as ever since I played my Magician back in my EQ days, I've had a soft spot for pet classes. I might also take a look at ranger, depending on how the shooting feels, as it can be real hit or miss for me.. If it's like WoW or EQ where it was just Auto attack from a distance, I probably won't care for it, but if it's more like FFXI where it's longer aimed shots that have a satisfying thunk when they hit the target, I might give it a whirl.
But mostly I'm looking forward to changing into a devil and going all biblical on people.
I'm going to make 3 charactors right of the start, because I have 3 names I like to keep for myself. My first will prolly be an archer type. My second will be a Priest, and last will be some type of melee, but I haven't really made up my mind yet.
i think imma be a fast sneaky brutal barbarian....and maybe a lich they look sickkkk....or a conquerer
I haven't seen an ingame pic of the lich myself yet. But im interested in playing lich just from the sound of it.
I've seen a video of the HoX ingame and they look AWESOME.
Really wish the see the Lich in his form.

Do you have a link to the HoX video please?
Personally I think with the popularity of Assassins, Im going to go Druid of the Storm / Stormcaller, their lvl 80 spell looks like it will slow them down alot. The class looks fun to play too. Just wish there was more info out there on them like in a vid or some good screenshots.
No doubt I will play some kind of damage warrior. Ether polarm or axe and shield. Probably axe and shield. I love heavy armor and the barbaric Viking look of axes rocks.
doubt I will play a tank, probably a Conquerer. not sure about what nation ether. Most of the game terrain is Eurasian and middle eastern it looks and the cultures are too. Which goes along with Conan. Some thing More Eurasian would be cool. Maybe Greek style.
It really is a tough decision. On the official page it has a picture of a demon with wings under the HoX entry, is that really it? If so that would be pretty awesome. Rangers seem cool too (especially after reading the latest update), as do some spellcasters due to sw, but considering the attention the manual combat system has gathered I'm somewhat leaning towards a proper melee class. Perhaps an assassin if they have similar abilities to those in WoW or a barbarian. Then again, what is that compared to transforming into a demon and wrecking havoc?
I just can't make up my mind, thus all I hope for is that it doesn't take me three classes again as it did in WoW to find one I really stick with.
I can't help but have a place in my heart for the Cimmerian race, as i've got nordic and viking combined in me... so odds are... Barbarian! then later i'll tweak around with other classes! Like Lich!

I usually go with Rogue / Assassins myself, i like being sneaky

I generally go with the big tank type classes, still unsure at this point but it will be one of the soldier classes, perhaps Dark Templar.
Lich has me intrigued.
Druid of the Storm or Scion of Set. Either one seems cool to me.
I for one just love to be sneaky debuff poisoner guy, so with Scion of Set is where my destiny lay.
I can't decide between Barbarian or Dark Templar, both seem just sick in combat. I know for a fact my wife is going Druid of the Storm.
what ever intrigues more as the game approaches i guess hehe.

I wil try the soldier class.....and the guardian profession.
The combat system is for melee he he, and i want to join a big army to. Anyone got one?

I'm gonna be a Priest of Mitra. I love Healing and Buffing to be my primary responsability
i also would be a rogue/assassin

I would play a big sword and axe wielding Barbarian. It's a Conan MMO after all.
