Which class will you play at launch?
Simple question. Saw these on the other forums and I figured I'd ask what you guys thought.
Which class will you be rolling as your main?
Personally Im going with either a Cleric or a Ranger. A little undecided... both seem excellent - I enjoy healing and I love the hunter/ranger type classes in most MMOs... so Im stuck between the two. Who knows, maybe by launch Ill end up with something completely different :P

I'm a masochist. Voted Sorcerer (most likely reroll a chanter as well to focus on Abyss).
Spiritmaster

Gladiator its underpowered and gets owned by everyone but its fun as hell.
My main will be a Chanter but I will probably have a Cleric also and Ranger.
Why?
Cleric

Gladiator will be my first character with probably a Ranger second.
Gladiator.
From everything I've read they suck, but they are by far my favorite class to play.
I personally prefer being a healer class but I think this time around I will start off with the Templar.
??? Do you mind posting what you've read? Ive been hearing the exact opposite... maybe I missed something in 1.5 i dunno. From everything ive read and from kilkil's rvr post Gladiators sound very good, almost to the point where I do not see the point of having a Templar in pvp due to lack of util in a group (as is my current understanding).

Ranger, Ranger Ranger, thought I kind of like the Chanter too.

I played a Gladiator up through 20th and had a blast so my personal experience was great. The one I enjoyed the least (but did not get past about 14th level) was the Spirit Master.
Chanter, i think it's better to lvl the most difficult class first and the easy ones later. By my experience in wow, lvling a hunter or a warlock first makes you not want to lvl another alter
Yeah lol. I started a lock just to check out the undead start area and ended up being a hardcore raider with it. Even restarted a few mastered professions a few times simply because I didn't want to go through all the levels as a lock again.
But, when I used to search potential guilds cross server, I'd always roll an undead lock....
I also did that with EQ (first mmorpg sub game) and ended up regretting being a human monk versus iksar... but meh. To me it isn't about flavor of the month, but what appeals to you, so hopefully being a caster (I love necro types) won't be a total let down since melee kind of bores me (not to say melee is boring, just not as exciting as spells).
Having been on PvP servers and being tired of it, I've grown adjusted to the masochism of death. So Sorcerer I go. My secondary will be a Templar. I need to compensate for my masochism by being a bit on the defensive side in the latter.
Not sure to be completely honest. I've always liked hybrid caster/tank, so I'm not too sure what Aion has to offer as far as off-tank classes go, but I'm thinking Templar.
I personally play a paladin or paladin like classes in all fantasy games. So Templar for me. Haha, I still have nightmares about the experience penalty EQ1 had on hybrid classes at release. What a nightmare.
Played cleric in CBT and had fun but im thinking templar, glad or ass.
I'm gonna go for something thats close to the "Mesmer" class form guild wars. Classes like that interest me and are usually complicated and not many people play them. But if you become proficient with one you can dominate most anything.
For instance Mesmers:
against melee or ranged classes i.e. warriors-assassins-dervishes - rangers-paragons= Signet of midnight(blinding) + empathy(deal damage back to themselves) + mantra of resolve(spell casting cant be interrupted) = pwns any melee class. and i may have to go Me/W to put in balanced stance to combat the Knock downs sins can do.
against other casters i.e. elementalists-Necromancers-monks-other mesmers(that arent as good as you) = Backfire(every time they cast a spell they take 133 damage)+mantra of resolve+wastrels worry(after 3 seconds it deals 100dmg)+Energy burn = pwns casters. It especially Pwns elementalists really quick.
some thing to that effect...I hope they have a class not exactly like the mesmers but similar...

Am going Chanter. Having fun in CB's and almost unkillable 1 on 1 , am only lvl 26 but lots of duels so far and seem fun.
Played Aoc/DDO/FFXI/WAR / LoTRo / CO / Aion
Playing Rift
Waiting for FFXIV to be the game it should. so sad =(
Im.. shocked that Assassins' aren't higher represented...
Also a good thing IMO
Lots of votes for Glads, Clerics, and Sorcerers... I think Sorcerers will be really popular at launch and slowly start fading out a little once people realize that like every mage class, they really shine in the beginning (compared to most classes that shine closer to the end)...
Seems like there will be a nice balance across the classes with this game.
Except for tanks. I will be playing a Templar.
I'm going to be playing an Assassin.
Don't worry about that on this end, I for one will be a shadow lurker. I haven't had as much playing a MMO recently as I did when I tried out Scout/Assassin. That was some great fun, and well making a 2 foot tall little woman evil as all get out helps. Nukers were enjoyable however, I just liked the up close and personal side. Been a tank for way too many years in MMOs, time to be on the other side of the mob.
