I was going to go Priest of Mitra but am now more tempted by Tempest of Set - particularly if we go for a PVP type server in the end.
I wasnt too bothered by damage output but its a bit disheartening to see that the Tempest has better damage, similar healing and better CC at level 20
I might still do it on a pve server but seeing as how fragile priests are in AOC the lack of much cc on a pvp server could be a real pain.
Herald of Xotty is looking mightily appealing.
Sure I'll change my mind many more times though
I have prepared a thread with a little comparision between AoC classes and their DAOC posible equivalent.
Just 1 week till they lift NDA
I thought NDA was already lifted ? theres vids of the pvp weekend all over the place so I asume its lifted as far as classes go.
E: Going for one character and one character alone.
Aye - thats the key one - no matter how good a class is theres always a point where you think "Oh, that class looks fun, maybe I should create an alt!" which can lead to a nasty case of Altitis!
Oh i'm a cronic altitism sufferer. Any wave of a shiny sword or a shiny arrow from a shiny weapon that makes a hole i my head for the sun to shine through, makes me think of the other class as the next best thing since bumsex was invented.
That's why i have to keep my eyes focused on the prize. Meaning, being big and powerful and almighty to make others suffer from altitis, meaning i'm the only one without altitism, and as such, a god!
would be fun, i do miss the days of 1 shotting people and staying hidden
Think it would be an alt though, grouping is a lot more rewarding in the long run.

i really really fancy a ranger this time round its a class ive never really played to any sort of respectable lvl im just worried about long term groupability
My plan was to play a support class that has CC as main task, so I picked a PoM. But now after reading and watching some youtube stuff I'm not so sure how good a class a PoM really is, seems gimped at a level 20 basis. ToS seems to perform way better in all areas /ponder.
Guys, I don't think you should decide on classes based on Youtube videos and current builds. FunCon are working hard on class balance and what we see today will probably be very different at launch and even more different a couple months later.
Definitely have had that in mind, hence I'm sticking to PoM wich by offical FAQs and class description is thought out as a main healer + very effective CCer, all in all a must have group class wich could also work in smaller parties.
Hmm - I cant actually remember a MMO where classes actually matched class descriptions tho...
I think the POM will be a fine class - I think the tempest would be better suited to pvp tho - that feat you can get that breaks you out stun/charm/fear seems awesome for pvp - with priests lower health stuns will be nasty...
