Howdy folks. So i've been thinking of giving AoC a second chance lately. I was there when the game launched, but sadly, the memory leaks problem hit me pretty hard to the point of not being worth activating after my initial 30 days. I did like the game, despite it's many flaws and could see a lot of potential, so I told myself I'd wait a year or so. Well that time is up now, and I took a free trial before reactivating my account to see for myself. Seems at least the memory leaks are gone, so i'm glad, and I've read a lot of different topics about what has changed.
So my question is more specific to certain classes that I was interessted in back in the day and would like to know where they all stand right now. Please note that I do not enjoy pvp much and end-game raiding either so no need to answer according to those aspects. I just like PvE, questing, leveling different toons, that kind of stuff. So i'd like to know a bit more about the following classes :
conqueror : this was my main class, and I enjoyed it a lot back then. I felt like it was a solid support class and good dps. Did that change? Also, I remember they had an ability to auto-revive party members with some ability. I don't recall the specifics, but it was kinda way overpowered and I suppose that ability got nerfed to hell or worst, taken out. Is it still there and if so, how does it work now?
Herald of Xotli : My second favorite back then. Sadly, I do remember that they didn't seem to do too well specially with the talent trees. Where do they stand now?
Tempest of Set and other healing class : If I recall, ToS used to be the I-win button back then, way overpowered, making other healing class not so shiny.
Assassin : In the description, Assassins are supposed to be very high dps class, yet at launch, they pretty much sucked compared to other rogue class. Did they fix that or are they still wimps?
Well those are the 4 class I was really wondering about, but of course, any info on the other classes would be great. Thx

incoming 3 month old info, buckle up
roll Bearshaman. very fun to play.
I need more vespene gas.
Conquerer I hear that they are faily good to play now. For your likings it can be a good choice. I do not play this class myself.
HoX currently playing this at level 60+ and I must say this grows on you. When you get the shield up and running with some foodbuffs(you are squichy) it is very rewarding. Talent trees seems to be fixed and if you follow the cookiecutterbuilds you will do fine. Oh and got the second best fatalities ingame imo:) Also nice to play a class that most MMOs dont have.
Assassin have not played mine since 3 monts back. Then it was hard to sololevel; since you were not able to take alot of dmg and daggers did so that you had hard time killing 2 mobs. Best fatalities in game dogh:)
Thx for the replies. Bear shaman never interessted me much. From the description, it seems to me they are a bit too much like the druids in WoW. Then again I'm probably wrong.
I'm glad to know Conquerors are still doing well. what about the healing class? Are they more balanced now, or are the ToS still the I-Win button?
All of the healing classes especially the ToS got brought down a peg in the last big update, they dont pull off crits like they used to, but can still make some nice sustained damage.
Conq got reworked nicely, and its positional buffs are gone and replaced with banners you can plant now which makes helping out the team much much easier. I have a 52 conq and I love it, I can easily handle 3-4 mobs of the same level and come out alive.
