[tranquil]

i always play melee so not too hard choice for me heh, i got an assassin and gladiator to level 10 or 11 in the beta, i think i like the big 2h and armour on the gladiator better though.

See I like the sound of SM, but avoided it because your pet can't attack while you are flying. To me this sounds like it nerfs the class.

...i think i like the big 2h and armour on the gladiator better though.

Both wear the same armour, both can equip 2H weapons (both do not equip the SAME type, though),
but gladiator's builds focus around them and dual-wielding specifically ;|

err, assassin can't have 2h weapons and can't wear anything heavier then leather...

yeah, pet cant fly i know it suck at duel, but pvp in the open area is pretty much gank and spank, i did manage to defend against glad, temp, ranger with my lvl 20 SM without pet, just dot and root, run around with the movement decrease buff, but the temp take a while tho. It is not really a class made for pvp anyway.

Its an unspoken rule that all mmo pet classes must have an obvious crippling flaw like this
until its first expansion!.

So what is everyones impressions post OB?
Personally i loved it, apart from the random (but occasionally frequent) CTD's and initial lag that has now been ironed out.
Defiantly sticking with my default MMO class tank (Templar) loved it, only draw back being, i tended to feel the Templar simply wasn't tanky enough.
I found apart from the shields, plate armor (which could still be used by the gladiator) and few blocking skills (from level 10-15) seemed to have no 'natural tankyness' over the gladiator, stick a shield in the hands of a gladiator and you would have pretty much the same thing. However i'm not sure how much this changes the higher in level you get, certainly hope the tank gets 'tankier'

loved the game in OB, after a woeful experience in CB5 (lag issues). Was a bit concerned to start with as ping was 900 O.o (in perth, WA), but with the aid of lowerping was able to reduce it a whopping 600 down to 300 played ranger, asassin and chanter and while i liked the idea of assassin, eg. stealth, ganking etc haha, for some reason deep down inside of me i cannot get the chanter outa my mind so thats what ill be rolling come live. Me and 2 mates going to be leveling together as cleric, SM and chanter so should be quite fun

oops that was a bit silly, I misinterpreted a previous page's reference to Templar and confused it with this post :f
Mistake noted!
