Hi there, i'm looking for a new character to make and thinking of going along the lines of a nuker but would like some info from you on which one I should go for, any ideas will be helpful.
Well Spellsingers are fast so they are pretty good in PvP, but not as powerful as others, esspecially in PvE since they have the lowest damage among other nukers. (Light Elf)
Spellhowlers are nice to solo! They cast slow, so they aren't that great in 1v1 PvP, but it isn't impossible considering Acumen robes and SA's along with your ability to silence another magical user. PvE they are great at, they can curse death link and use body to mind to solo better than a Spellsinger or Sorcerer. (Dark Elf)
A Sorcerer is the middle of the road type. Has medium strength nukes and medium casting speed. The spells are reletively the same as a spellsingers except he uses the element of fire. (Human)
The new C4 FOTM which is a summon/nuker hybred is probally the most powerful. You get summons and a powerful nuke, so soloing isn't a problem for PvE. In PvP you do insane amounts of damage where it is almost sickening, and you also get silence along with petrify, both are useful in PvP and PvE. But if you are not into resurecting bodies and controlling dead corpses, this probally isn't the class for you. (Human)
"The new C4 FOTM" <-- sorry im kinda new and you lost me on that, could you explain what it is a little more sorry for being slow :P
Flaivor Of The Month, the class many people think is the strongest and there are tons of rerolers to it. But there also is a good chance for Nekro to be nerfed, and ALOT. Like ahppened to daggers, for example.
basically im looking for one thats sort of middle of the road for both PvP and PvE.
The Sorcerer would be a good choice then. Their nukes are stronger than a Spellsinger's, and they cast faster than a Spellhowler. For PvP Cancel, Sleep, Decay and Slow along with the usual nukes work quite well. For PvE, you'll have no problem soloing into your 60's if you like to solo, but you also fit well into groups because of your damage and awesome crowd control.
Actually.. if you really are soloing ( I went sorceror, but I have my ex-Main, a 7X SE, to back me up)...
Another thing you'll want to consider is downtime. You will need to be mana efficient.
SpellSinger - no mana control, without an SE, this class is all sit and no shoot.
SH - gets advanced levels of Body to Mind and hit point regeneration after 40, excellent for solo. Weapon/Armor SA can be used to offset the slower casting speed, and has higher INT (read: MATK) to begin with.
Sorceror: Gets Body to Mind 1 pre-40, which regenerates 22 mp. Does not get any further levels of this, nor any higher hp regeneration spells. Middle of the line cast speed & magic attack. Very good with SE backup. Shorter downtime than SpS due to the small effect of Body to Mind level 1.
Necromancer: Current FOTM. A good choice for solo'ers because of the advanced Body to Mind and hp regeneration spells.
NOTE: when I say hp regeneration, I do not mean heal. I mean spells such as corpse life drain, and vampiric claw.
