AoC PvP: Class breakdown
Ok so rather than having to check back with the roll call thread and then correlating it back the the server thread, I figured I would start one up as a list of who is playing which class. This will help people who are on the fence about which class to pick with respect to the PVP server. I also have to admit that I love the fact that for (at least the time being) AoC has usurped the place of the WOW: BHA posts. ![]()
So I did a quick back check and this is what we have so far:
Assassin
* Swat (alt)
* Tkyl
* Tyagaraja
Barbarian
* Maxox: Rikofu
* Trashidawa
* Karmajay :Kirwin
* Spynavy
* WiredAsylum
* Blacksheep : Craedan
* Renji: Roval
Ranger
* Miserere
* Running man
* Bear
* Ranalin :Ranakyn
* Babaganoush:Babeaganoush
Priest of Mit.
* ShadeRaven
* KillTrash: Teawin
* Tzig
Bear Shaman
* Hanta: Gaheris
* kaostheory
* Wingless
Tempest of Set
* Swat's Brother
* Maxox (alt)
* Thirteenth : Zeejin
Guardian
* Lancejt
* Bear :Bearmar
* ShadeRaven (alt)
Dark Templar
* AnujSuper9
* Maxox (alt)
* Running Man (alt)
Conqueror
* Cramps :Dannig
* Swat : Neph
* Bear: Bear
* Whispa
* Falchion:Falaina
Necromancer
* Running Man
* Lancejt (alt)
* Cramps (alt)
Herald of Xotli
* MoonDragon
* Maladen
* Ranalin (alt)
* Deepsea (alt)
* Elliottx (alt)
Demonologist
* Valleja
* Lancejt (alt)
* Shoal07:Shoal



I was actually getting ready to make this thread when I got home... Well.. at least it got done... I'll be playing a guardian as main (at start) btw..
Eventually I'll start up a demo or necro after I group with enough of them to see which I want to be.
Funny that all three of the classes I was considering *were completely open...

Put Valleja down as Demonologist. We'll both be (trying) on first thing Saturday.

Put me down for a Barbarian main with a Tempest of Set and a Dark Templar alts.
One of my alts has a chance of becoming my main.
XBL: nearly there
You can throw me on the PvP list as a HoX. I'll be rolling on the PvE server too. I'll be seeing how the wind blows before I settle on which server will be my main.

I will be a Guardian
My pvp server alt is going to be a necromancer (as of now).

My pvp server alt is going to be a Herald of Xotli.

MMO Aliases: Jozak or Ezzamar
I will be fighting, sans shield, swinging like a wild man at your side with my Conqueror. Or Barbarian. Damnit. One of the two! I might have to seriously consult some random dice rolls to see which class wins.
XBL/Swat R2 SPORE/Swatr2 WAR/Nephlokan
Who cares about you! It's the company of Tzig that keeps me fighting. You're just an afterthought
Don't make me sacrifice you to the ogres again!

I think I may shift gears slightly and roll a barbarian instead of an assassin on the PVP server.
Put me down for Ranger. We'll need scouts, and bowmen to defend the walls - once we have walls, of course...

Man, the numbers speak for themselves. I break -- the RP server will be my secondary server.
Put my main down as a Conqueror.

It's ok Cramps, if the server is going to be a huge gankfest, alot of us may switch to the pve/ rp.
Edit*typo
I say go Conq, there's lots uh dem barbarians...

I'm still confused by this. It's FFA pvp. While you wont be hunted down over/over again it will be inevitable that you will be attacked at inopportune times. Which would also be the exact same case on an RP-pvp server.
Either way we'll get to experience first hand in 2 days!

Less than that ..think GMT time!

There you go, that, to me is a huge gank fest. If I can't get any questing done because of gankers everywhere, I dont know how long I will stay. I am ok with some, but, if it becomes an issue of not being able to do anything without two or three friends with me all the time, i might have to carebear stare.
Edit* An example would be like the open beta.

No, I saw it.
Edit* I was using the cut as an emphasis on what I am afraid the ffa pvp experience will turn into.
Edit # 2: Back on topic: killing and oogabaa!
I figured... wasn't trying to call you out or anything. As far as I see, it's going to happen eventually.. There are asshats in games. However, I'm still not convinced that the RP server is the solution. Plenty of people have been talking about RPing a d-bag trying to use the world of Conan as a cover-up.
Agreed. I'm looking forward to it.

I agree with you about the RP and am hoping that there are still some non-idiots out there (however, I am judging from the general chat and random people from Wow, hence the pessamism
). Like Ran said though, we will find out soon enough.
I'm leaning toward Ranger as a primary alt too. Since they -like everyone- can hide, it will be an excellent ambush class. Anyone tried it in pvp?
my vote cancels out yours
It's been my primary class all through beta. They'v been a bit of a balancing problem child for FC. They were notoriously overpowered in pvp from 5-20, but 20-80 were supposed to drop to last in power. They took care of the overpower problem at the lower levels but at 23 things seemed to take a dive, and i was worried that it would continue on in that fashion the rest of the way. After talking to a lvl 60 ranger i was told that things were much better than they used to be and they were actually a force to be dealt with again.
Being able to stun/snare opponents at range and of course moving around in stealth is huge. Ambushes are what they do best. Unlike the other 2 rogue classes they dont get a damage bonuse when attacking from stealth. When they fire their bow from stealth they're able to do a "mez"/stun attack. Any other damage done to them breaks their mez, but hit them wit a snare right after that they're normally trying to run away at this point
because you're able to burn them down.
The biggest problem i see with them now is deciding whether to go xbow or regular bow. Right now i'm going bow because that seems to be more pvp focused, with AOE snares and fear attacks. The xbow though looks to be setup as a raid spec and woud be perfect for battlekeep sieges.
Here's what my initial build will be, but i'm horrible for constantly tweaking my spec and trying different things out.

Take me off the assassin list.
I will be making one and keeping it atlvl 20 in tortage.
His name will be TkylKilla and yes his sole mission is to insure that Tkyl never gets out of tortage.
Barb will be my main.

Halp! I know not what to pick! In EQ/WoW/D&D/RoleMaster/whatever, I enjoyed melee much more than magic. Although my highest character was a Shaman in EQ. Missile was not played much. I don't necessarily want to be a tank, as it seems tanks always must tweak to get that last .005% mitigation. I will be around often, I hope, and like to help others. I still think I want something roguelike, but I am not sure if race plays importantly. Critique my first choice, please. What kind of mileage will I get (solo and group) from a Stygian Thief -> Assassin? Second would be the tank - maybe Aquilonian ? (soldier?)?
All comments, tweaks and suggestions welcome. I don't mean to derail this thread. Should I start another? Thanks!
[edit] According to opinions expressed below - I may just stick with Assassin. I do appreciate the help. It is one thing to read about a class, it is another to get some points from someone who has played.
