Hi all been having a hard time deciding on who too make my main. First im a fighter by nature and wanted to try caster. but my feelings are heading towards a melee class. Now i have been doing alot of research on both classes and its still a hard choice to make. Like caster class Warlock or Necro...been kinda leaning towards Necro. Now Melee class is been between Gladiator or Dark Avenger. So if anyone has any advice that would be greatful in my decsion.
You could try phantom summoner because they are dark wizards first so you would experience the true caster, and then with the summon they use dual swords a lot so you would melee still.
You have to choose what's fun to you. Test it out, and choose. I know I like meleeing better, but I have a Warlock and she does a decent fair of damage alongside her summon.
But the point is... try them both out and then choose what you like most. Just don't do it like me and like 10019283013 things at the same time, or you'll end up with a crapload of alts like I have :p

Well, here's a questoin to your question. Why do you want to play a Necro over, let's say a Glad. What are you reasons for wanting to play a particular class.
Though of course I agree witht the sentiment "play what's fun" it is possible that you have preconceived notions about each class (both pro and con). Because of this, if we understood your motivations we might be able to dispel certain myths or perhaps reinforce a few.
Lucky you PTS arround and this time it is not so bad as last one, at least not if dont pan to test the skill enchants, subclass skills and all that new stuff.
Go on and test each char in pve, mass pvp, 1x1 pvp, oly... then see what you like best... by your post, my bets are on Gladi
Just take care with the warlock in oly. they are oly point farmers, but, with unsealed armor and no SA weapons, their advantage on PTS is grater than it will really be in live servers
thanks guys for the response. and yes i do know the play what you enjoy most. and thats what is making it hard. i like the idea of nuking then when they get close go melee thats what appealed to me with the Glad, I like the nukeing of the caster and the way i can kill them before they reach me. Plus the look of the Armor of the Melee class and the duel swords. Casters i like the Nuking power so its been a pain for me.
My third character was a gladiator, still have him, in his higher 50's. I loved having duals and sonic slashing+ss, nearly instant killing mobs. After a while though I just sorta got bored with him :p.
Later on made a Phantom Summoner and on another account even a Warlock. I liked my PS more because A) dark elf B) duals C) most of the armor choices looked pretty cool on him.
Warlock though had its own pro's A) pet that had WW, great for killing newbie reds that are trying to run away B) Cat Queen at later end of game has good buffs.
But like everyone else said, play what looks cool/fun to you :_). I wouldn't go necro as your first main, just because some of their spells require some *expensive* regs, however if money isn't an option necro besides be awesome in pvp, has very neat looking pets.

Well then go gladi. Warlock is not a nuker, you will either use your melee summon (pve, 1x1 pvp) or queen for buffs (party pvp). Necro is an awesome pvp class with 3 I win buttons but is not the kind of nuker you are looking for, your equally a debuffer/nuker/summoner your best magics are medium/short ranged and ppl will get to you more often than not, which is not the end of the world due to TP. What you describe there are pure nuker stuff SpS, SH, or Sorc.
SwS is a melee assisting fighter with party buffs. SPS is the nuker. And Necro packs as much punch as anyone else. Death Spike is in a way the best possible nuke there is.
They don´t. They won´t hit as hard as a SH nor cast as fast as a SpS.
anyway, ty for pointing the typo, fixed now.
So you wont hit as hard as the hardest hitting nuker in the game, or match the speed of the highest castspeed nuker in the game. Thanks for pointing out the obvious about the differences in the casters. Now, use CDL to EXP and you will hit HARD enough. Not to mention your MP management is on par with the SH while the SPS will be out of MP without dedicated rechargers. Necro is in many ways the best nuker there is if you go just for PVE or small scale PVP where Anchor and Silence many times decide the victor.
