Char Type

[Esoteric]

A mate of mine will be starting the game here shortly and he wants to know what chars are needed here for groups and stuff.

Do you still have a fair few lowbies pottering about. Otherwise he can just pick a good solo char.

I recommended a mana mentalist, played one on pvp and if I had my time again thats what I'd prob be.

Cheers all for info.

light menta is a good soloer till 40
mana menta is power whore from 1 to 50

The server needs lowbie tanks atm, was in sprag den and found out for the first time that a group of only 6 mana bombs works out pretty bad in the long run, especially for the ones without bladeturn

Loads of people have mentalist alts atm so I wouldnt suggest he makes one of them unless he wants to solo with a light spec one.

As Gorguss said there seems to be a lack of tanks atm and also there is a lack of wardens.

VERY rare to find tanks these days...get's better at the low 40's but the only reason for that is because the low 40's are a nasty little bottleneck where nobody can level through them fast, so you get a lot of players stuck there, tanks included.

sadly you get a LOT of mages too , not unusual to see 6 unwanted pbae mages in innis simply because all the groups leaving already have 2-3 of them in group , which makes it a bloody good job i'm not rushing my xping, would be frustrating , but then i've gotten used to seeing shades outlvl me so guess i'm fine with it by now

if he wants to be needed with regards to lvling, roll a tank, or a bard, or a warden, we've a shortage of all three.

also druids are handy, and rare

Guess we are actually evolving inte becoming the realm of magic as Mythic intended

 

[<Harle>]

Warden or Tank ( and pretty please sth with shield-spec ) i would say. Mentalists are everywhere, and you can't even spit without hitting a bard ( except when you need one for RvR ).

Dont Role A Blademaster

Its true they are awful characters and you should NEVER NEVER role one...

/e Walks of to continue undoing the bad work done by competent BM's...

Wardens or Bards are STILL the class that I cant get at an equal level so end up doing what all other groups do and take one outside the "magical" 5 level range...

Nasty viscious cycle we have developed on Hib - 90% of groups appear unable to function without both a Bard and Warden. So all take whatever is available (99% of time a level not suited to the rest of the group, but what the hell give me bubble, give me End/Mana) and at level 40 - 45 its bloody hard to get either as a result (though admittedly much easier than previously).

I think the problem is everyone wants to level NOW and d/t is Satan's device made only to punish you and stop you being king!

BMs are fun to play, but blades suck. Go pierce or blunt and you won't regret it.

 

[old.Charonel]

slayben's a bluntmaster, and he's still bloody useless

 

[StormriderX]

Yes Blademasters are fun just dont make the same mistake i did and go blades :/ Pierce > all.

Also Keen champs are great fun so you should try them out

 

[Vantros]

I went blades and i personally think they rule..... but in the end i think its your personaly descision no point takeing everyones advice and ending up with a character u hate, prolly best to play a character up to lvl 20 when u get your first respec and descide if u wish to continue if u do then u always have the lvl 40 respec for if u realise u have made an error in judgement.
