Group-friendly classes? Items?

Just curious...and maybe for those that have studied the game more to summarize for the rest of us.....

What classes in the game give group benefits? I don't mean like single buffs or healers but more like auras worked for the paladin in DAOC. I have not seen/read much about any of them doing this so far. Anyone?

With that....any word if items might work similarly? Like certain armors or weapons giving a group benefit? Maybe even crafted potions or tailsman that give a timed duration group only benefit?

    All the classes are Group friendly classes...the game is designed around groups  & co op play.  I dont think there's anything like the paladin system from DAoC...the Knights of the Blazing Sun Maybe but I can't be sure.

    Honestly don't look for DAoC 2 or DAoC designs  in WARs class & combat system...they don't want to compete with their own game.

    Far as they've said armor & items are for single player use.    I doubt we'll see items benefiting a whole group other than the Guild Banners, those are definitly Aura Based.   You should look at the Banner system for Guilds...its pretty cool its for RvR areas only though.

    Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!

    Thanks, Elvenangel! I knew I could count on you. Trust me...i don't want a DAOC2....just curious if their were similar "group buff" type things. I did like the paladin's group stuff in DAOC in the early days....though I played in Hib mostly.

    For a fair breakdown (for those wishing to read up for themselves) I recommend checking out the breakdown that massively.com did, if you do not find enough at the official warhammer site.

    Knight of the Blazing Sun and Chaos Chosen are aura-twisting careers, somewhat similar to the Paladin of DAoC. The difference is that you won't be spamming loads of auras constantly. Warrior priests also provide buffs to people near him, probably similar to an aura as well. The Disciple of Khaine is his mirror class, so he might have something similar (but perhaps in a more offensive fashion, similar to the Chosen). Buffs are present too, for instance the Runepriest and Zealot are said to have pretty good buffs (Marks and Runes), that can also be unloaded by the carrier to do something, like damage an opponent or heal themselves.

    Personaly i wouldn't be supries if the player buffs given by classes like chosen and blazing sun are all that great. From what iv seen and read, the banner is going to have plenty of buffs to go around.
