Really want to play a ruinpriest, most likely will have a dps alt, cant decide whether caster or melee. I am looking forward to playing on the order side for a change. I also like the archmage but agree that healing responsibilities will probaly outway dps... its tough without spell list to make any decision, but definitely start a ruinpriest at some point.

Often times people cry out for a healing class or a tank class character to join their group. Most of the time they find one and sometimes they don't. All of us have been in a group that needs just one type of character and after an hour of waiting the group falls apart.
It's usually somewhere around this point that many of us will go out and create our own healer or tank just so you will be guaranteed not to run into this situation again. Through personal trial and error I have found that you will have the most fun playing a character that you can actually relate to. I personally prefer the healing class characters and plan on a runepriest being my main. I'm also EMT qualified and find the practice of medice fascinating...even though I'm not doing it currently it still appeals to me.
As far as "Healing responsibilities outwaying DPS" I have to disagree. If you can kill the enemy faster than he can kill you your in the clear, and a healer becomes the guy who gets your health bar up to full prior to the next fight. In an RVR situation there is going to be so much havoc and carnage going on that healing (although helpfull) will not be the ultimate goal. Case and point, RVR healers are equaly as important as the DPS and without the DPS you will have a load of healer classes running around not killing much of anything.
It's funny that the classes I am most interested in are the-
Black Orc
Black Guard
Swordmaster
Chosen
so.. the tanking classes....
gah, I have like 15 classes I want to try now :P
In most MMORPGs healing always seems in short supply. often certain classes are pidgeonholed into "Must be a healer"
Torrential
Torrential: DAOC (Pendragon)
Awned: World of Warcraft (Lothar)
Torren: Warhammer Online (Praag)
This is all I need to be excited about WAR again:
"In addition, we’ll be making changes to the RvR (open field RvR FTW!) and Server Rule Set Systems. These changes bring WAR a step closer to fulfilling the promise that “War is Everywhere” while ensuring a great play experience for those that do not choose to engage in RvR 24x7. This is another example of how EA Mythic talks to the community, listens to what they have to say, and takes action. We will continue this process over the next three quarters as we continue to develop, expand and improve WAR. "

I am glad to see peoples input...I am very excited for this game and feel that no matter which class i role i will have fun...lol i am having more fun thinking about what character im gonna roll in this game then some of the other games im currently playing!!! I too like that they are working with the gaming community to ensure a more successful game.
Does anyone know anything about when spell list will start to become available...will we have to wait for release or will they leak out from Beta players?
I really look forward to WAR as well and I really wanted to try out the grenadier and the black gaurd. Some recent things I've heard (not known for a fact) kind of scare me about the progress and quality of this game. I guess in other words I'm afraid this game may not live up to my expectations which in my mind aren't even that high.
Two things that kind of bother me.
1. Ending beta only to go back in to it could very well mean that it needs more polish and or that they are going the extra mile. How ever it could also mean the original beta had something seriously or fundamentally wrong, so much so that they needed to take a step back.
2. I read this on the forums the other day something like each class has three alternate skill trees to traverse. I am not sure how true this is but it sounds like a WoW rip off and I am one of the biggest WAR is not WoW advocates. How ever if this is true not only does it suck but it makes me look like a jack ass for sticking up for WAR as a free thinking game. I know some MMO concepts are good and SHOULD be used again, but talent trees are a low simple linear concept that I do not agree with.
Someone set me straight I don't want to be right.
It just has to be Witch Hunter all the way... They just look so leet.
I was a Paladin for 2 years...I will never be a healign class again....but ehy
Lets face it I wasnt a healing class. I wasnt a DPS Class. I was the "ok let him in" class
the "need to fill a spot" class
DPS ALL THE WAY
Greenskin CHOPPA
Ya I am not a fan of the talent trees either, i feel that it leaves only a few options when they where trying to create more diversity. I feel that each class should utilize all there spells or at least decide on there own which spells they will focus on but having the full range of choice. I also understand what you are saying about the pally. I hope that by limiting the races to one main healing class that it will make playing a healer more fun and wont leave out a class b/c they can't do anything as well as another class which i think happens when there are priest and pallys both in healing category. In vanguard it was nice imo how pallys where a tank class. I dont think the extended beta is to bad but what does worry me is that they go to far above and beyond and then we dont have a game that has its fundamental core perfected. For me the pvp system will make or break the game, adventuring is secondary i can do that in so many other games.
Order
Witch hunter
Destruction
Marauder
i got it all planned out just gota ask my friends wich side they wana be.
sry this is my new favourite symbol
