Class Picking

Alright, I am sure tons of threads like this pop up all the time... So I will add one more to the pile.

I have read through the several topics here, including both the guides and the players asking for advice...

Enough with the off-topic, onto the thing...


I am an all over player, I can never decide what I want, I can never get what I want... I am the kind of player that is never satisfied with his character and ends up creating one character of each class eventually...

Hopefully you guys can give me some help so I may find something close to what I like.


  • I am a PvP lover, that is the first thing you must know, so anything that can't pvp is not for me.
  • I like my class to be able to solo AND have an easy time finding groups.


Those are the absolute minimum requirements for me to like a character.

Other than that, I like characters that are able to either sustain themselves for a long time in a fight, or engage and disengage easily.

I HATE glass cannons (unless they have some kind of stealth or really easy way to get in/out of fights), which usually leaves most mage/archer classes out of my list.

And finally, and probably the most important, I like to be able to kill in PvP. Yes, everyone does, but I am not saying I want to instant burst anyone, it does not matter how long it takes me to kill someone, I like sustain, be it through some kind of lifesteal, heal, tankiness, or, as said before, easy engage/disengage.

Ps: by engage/disengage I mean something that can work as somewhat of a "hit and run" strategy.

Ps2: sorry for the wall of text, I tend to type/talk a lot...

@Edit

Almost forgot... I like group pvp and wars too (called siege wars here I believe). So if possible for the class to be viable for lvling, pvp, and wars, that would be wonderful...

rogue sounds like your class, they are very strong atm. As for your 2nd/3rd class, see what you find to be fun.

Normally I would suggest searching for class ideas, but since you have already started down that road, AND provided the information on what types of classes you like to play, AND how you enjoy playing overall... My suggestion then becomes try the priest/rogue/rogue/priest combo out. You can play as a p/r and heal a group (healers are ALWAYS needed), or play as a r/p and go solo (and rogues are also tops in pvp play).

(Yes, I can suggest things other than "use the search feature" when the OP provides more info than "hay i'z wants a gooder class to pley!")

I think that sum up everything, or at least explain why 90% of player pick Rogue/Scout. Aren't we all?

Let me add one more advantage you will notice if you pick R/S, you can tank end-game instance :cool:

Hmmm, alright, thank you for the replies, that r/p sounds interesting... I had thought of p/w at first when I read the topics, but the fact that (it seems) you cannot heal while you are fighting made it seem a bit less of what I'd want...

Are the primary/secondary class switches always free? As in, can I switch between, say priest and rogue, whenever I want and however many times I want?


And as for r/s, how is it possible they can tank? I assume it is HIGHLY gear dependent?

You can switch as many times you like with all 3 classes, but only in class hall or at house maids. (so not switching while fighting)

Every class has general class skills, and those you can access if you have that class as secondary. There are also elite skills for each class combination, and you will benefit from them only once you complete required task (getting resource and pay or quest)

Hope this helps... :)
