A class-type is a general description of classes that fit within that category. This includes 1st class transfers through Awakening. What class-type are you... a healer, a warrior, a rogue? Why do you like that class-type? :)
And I advanced to Paladin when it was "worthless" just because; *shrugs* what can I say, I used to play one on D&D so it's kind of in my contract that I have to play a Knight/Paladin if they are available.
They became awesome by Freya, I only found out about this until High Five, they fixed everything that was wrong with them both PvE and PvP wise.
I chose Bladedancer when I started playing this game many moons ago. Loved the idea of a dual sword dark elf. Sometimes wished he was more of a gladiator type of toon but stuck with him.
I'm a Heirophant. There are times i hate it, there are times i hate it.... That was supposed to be love and hate but i guess i actually do hate it that much lol. I will eventually promote it to the Enchanter but I am in no rush, I have decided to level another toon and see how that is to play.
I've been testing various characters, and I must say the one I always like the best for myself is healer.
It's an interesting challenge, in that my strategy so far has been to either use wind strike and vampire somethingforgotwha****called at low levels or hope that the monster is undead.
(At least until I get the once "inquisitor stance only" skills at second job change, yes it's odd that I haven't done that yet I'M SLOW SHUSH)
And with a combination of my current limited combat abilities and my newbness, I suck at pvp. D:
Which just gets more odd in how despite the competitive atmosphere I find myself healing and occasionally buffing (most players around me can and do take advantage of the newbie buffer npc).
I'm playing a future Eva Templar because it IS the best tonk out there no matter what anyone says! And I really like how tanks work in this game. Tanks should be tanks and protect their party, imho before GoD that was only fully possible with an eva templar :P (yeah sure other tank-types have cancel and the lolbuffs... but I always think that the more support you have the higher your chances of winning... pvp... raids... anything). But I'm diverting from the subject.
I always had in mind this picture that a true RPG's protagonist should be a heavy armored knight with a sword and a shield, protecting his fellow adventurers :D lolz (getting to be a flat-chested blondy knight is really funny).
+ I get the "love-me-chain" when I awaken. Haven't seen any vid with female elf Siegel knight throwing chains yet xD
I'm a blade dancer. I saw a Youtube video and thought their powers were visually interesting, and I've always been fond of characters who use both magic and swords.
Bard Class, SwM type cause they rock but then NC Dev team decided to kill the whole assistant tank/dd type which role bards normally had..
Enchanters are a joke compared to what SwM/SD used to be.. can't compare the play style at all, obviously I didn't vote here as my favorite class isn't listed.

Idk bro, I find enchanters to be a complete improvement for the most part. Pdef and mdef are a bit weak (mdef cause of the buffs), but they are definitely decent in pvp and a lot of fun. Role changed a bit of course, but I like it.
I'm using a healer as my main, elven elder that is, I normally like to play support in every game that has them for quite a few reasons, 1 being I just enjoy using them, they are generally needed for most things and if you're good at it, people will want you for other stuff as well, then in group PvP, having a healer in your squad is just a god send as they can really turn the tide of battle by powering those heals at the right time.
After playing this class since C3, I simply can't find another class that can be as much as fun as tricking ppl target, backstabing them and still run like a burning beaver.
One shotting mages right on their life is pretty much fun too.
I'm an Abyss walker.Simply i loved dagger classes since last year that i started working on them.Before i've played archer (SM) and healer(CD) ,i've got to say i <3 healers too.:D
I have always preferred playing a healer/buffer in a game, and if I have to choose between the two I'd always go for the buffer. I simply love reinforcement spells/skills (buffs), and some healing too of course!

I am a Tyr Warrior.
Why do i like that class?
I dont like it at all anymore, like most Tyr Warriors.
I LOVED the Gladiator/Duelist before. Good that we had an intensive test
on PTS to try out the classes... :(
Why do i play Tyr Warrior?
Cos no way i will lvl another char to 86/81/81/81 + many are too used to my Main char Name after playing him for more then 5 years.

LF free awakened sub -> awakend Main change ;)
Same. I loved my Tyrant but this Tyrr Warrior class is an unimaginative joke. There's nothing left of the fun playstyle that Tyrants/Duelists had.
I once played an ES to 82 up until Freya, came back, reroll at Shilen, and very surprised that my inquisitor skills are now regular skills
'I can liek hit mobzer and healz u at the same time lolololol'
Just up until my omgiranoutofmanaquickly blue bar emptied... :(
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Why do I like this class? One word: party recall
(okay, it's two words) :D
Playing a Titan in Magmeld. I know they've changed in the last years, but I still like that feeling you get when wealding a massive sword and hitting stuff right in the face :)
Windrider. Reasons : RunSpeed/AtkSpd . Ridiculous Crit Rate. Now have the same con with human ever since the GoD update :D and not to mention dodge/blinding blow...yea dodge alone will do it
Hmm I played about 3 years with tyrant when I started :) I really liked it. Then I started playing with Gladi, I liked Gladiator more, but as I see its getting worse and worse in the time. I made my first bd here it was good and strong but not my style :( Im going to be with a Destroyer now, looks nice at the moment, after 1 day got lvl 49 :D So now its Brute DD as Tyrr Warrior with Destroyer!
I played a Dark Elf Archer for 4 years then switched to a Titan I had for fun after a year long break. The Titan got the nerf on skills early on so I was disappointed but kept lvling it because of the GOD update coming and the possibility of switching my class to tank. So far it seems that the Sigel Knight is lacking in a lot of the reasons I wanted to go knight in the first place. I am now considering going back to an archer since it was the class I grew up on ingame and feel the most comfortable playing.
i love ST (tank), can a take a whole party down :D
They have UD's, Debuffs, IMBA skills like pain of shilen. (if you have valakas and antharas, vampiric % is HUGE)
I am magic user (aka mixed magic/rouge class - soul breaker female) and it is not one of the poll options
you can say summoner, they like to steal buffs a lot.
I play an Elven Knight now. I am tank because I love tanking, but now with Vanguard, it is much more easier for me to level up and I REALLY enjoy it! They are amazing with the discoballs haha :D
I am a dagger
for me is the best kind, for the reason that you have critical hit and Speed Attak which puts it near the action, and can be quite dangerous if they can get their full potential especially against mages
Support.
Back in Open Beta I created DE Fighter. I considered it kind of sucks because they had no way to heal heirselves and I had to sit on my b*tt after (hopefully) killing every mob. So I created char that could heal itself.
When I joined in Chronicle 1 I just picked what was already familiar to me.
Regardless of the server, although it is edited, no matter how chronic it is, even if C3- when they were one of the weakest classes in the game, my sword is loyal to the duelist class since I started this game many years ago, since I saw his attack moves, I do not care about anything else, was always my main class and always will be.
In private servers I always loved to play as a Wizard(SS to be exact), since they had MP potions there ^.^"
When I first came, I leveled my Wizard to Lvl 40 and then quit ;DD
Currently I'm leveling up a BD. Lvl 45, yay ;D
New player here, only a few days in. I am leaning tward the rogue. Every game I have ever played, I love the rogue class. Sneaky backstabbers with hit and run tactics are somehow appealing to me.
Wait..I think I saw something.
*whack..whack..whack*
I did see something, it just killed me before I could react.
Which one of my 18 to 21 characters should I reply as?
My favourite is Spoiler Dorf, which is by the way, not a Rogue. I don't have a single Rogue toon.
My highest by a few % is Healer (use to be a Spoiler Dorf) and second is an Archer (used to be Hierophant). They were a good team before, and are not too bad now Awakened.
I also love my nukers and summoners.. Have all but the Necro, though Warlock is a sub.
Like having my SS, ES, Domi, Cardi too. All are 80+
Here in the oficial server, I like to play as enchanter. Cause his play style give me a chance to play in party or alone (or both, when I have the time to do). The problem is, that for the things that my teammates (awaken) say, there is no place to hunting alone yet, but, maybe in the future we can see the power of the iss. And, besides the healer class, the play style of the enchanter, is very funny and stressful (you need to make a lot of things when the DD or the tank only need to worry on kill or protect) so is a good challenge.
In private servers, I usually play as rogue or warrior (aw or tyrant). Cause, apart from olys, the enchanter have no chance with another class (with npc buffer and 2hs buffs).
I really enjoy the range, lethal and the two skills that make people lose target. Really nice how the archers have a-lot more skills now that help people gain distance easier. I just wish the clone duplicates weren't so bad.
If they were more like the dagger clones or perhaps at least attacked, or if the hate worked, without them dying in 2 seconds.... Just seem a little worthless right now. Hopefully they will work on the clones a little and make them tougher or harder to distinguish from the actual Player.
Enchanter,
I been playing BD for over 2 years now, When I started playing with it I realized that you just need to know how to use it, and it becomes one of the most abusive classes....
all you need is a PvP Dagger, a Bow and Dance of Medusa enchanted with chance....
Dwarf -- 87 Rogue, 88 Tyrr, 82 Hell Knight.
Human -- 86 Archer, 62 Dark Avenger.
Dark Elf -- 86 Feoh, 78 Bladedancer.
Kameal -- 85 Summoner.
I tend to get bored and bounce around. Never much cared for behind the scenes support char ( needed as they are ). Playstyle tends to keep me in the thick of the battle.
hmmm...well...8 years ago i started out a warrior type DE/SK an it was a blast to play cuz i loved the "up close and personal" feel to the warriors. I went on to try different Warrior types and tho they were fun....i still ended back on my SK or DA cuz it really wasnt my play style, then i tried mage classes and OMG i was Hooked"...My old Main was put on back burner for a new main class as a SpS ( which is now a Feoh lvl 91 ). i lvld that SpS til lvl 84 b4 i tried anything new. I then went on to try the Orc classes....wasnt fond of the Destroyer at all as it was/is so slow to move around....i get bored very very fast ( 10 mins usually is all i can stand to play), i did like the Tyrant, but moved on, tried the WC and now i was back to the Mages and oh boy...back to fun fun fun, then came the OL...last of the orcs i tried and liked the Best ( wish i wouldnt have w8ed so long to try this class)...the Ol is by far the most fun of all the Orcs IMO cuz the deal massive amounts of debuffs ( back b4 all classes had some sort of debuff), the CP heals and they are FANTASTIC in PVP scenarios. Here is the Odd part...of all the mage classes i always hated the healer class as i nvr wanted ppls fate in my hand ( i used to watch and hear the abuse healers got) but now that i have an awakened healer...it has become my 2nd favorite class next to the Feoh. So to answer the Post's question......Mages...particularly the Feoh and Healer :p ( i am going to try a dagger now as i have nvr had a high lvl one, im taking it all the way to Othello, i hope its fun, and if so.....watch my sig change to include the Othello lol )
I've been a mage class ever since closed beta and I see no reason to change now. Originally I was a light elf then I defected to Kamael when those were released because they have actual fingers. I hate the mitten hands and wish that NC would update the old character models in order to give them fingers.
Plus every time I do try making a meleer I get bored when I run out of mana and am forced to watch my character use auto attacks.
That's one of the hardest hitting classes, especially when critical hits rain down on the target. And it's a multi-target DD.
I respect the Tyrr Warriors as a representation of pure strength.
I'm impressed so few wizards saw the poll and voted,i even didnt saw it to vote before closed,naia server is full of wizars!
Clearly,the people that read and write in this forum is a small number of players and dont represent the majority of ncwest customers,ncwest has to find other ways to comminucate and learn who their customers are and what they need.
DPS forever, support is boring and after playing GW2, I realized that holy trinity is something from the past and must be extinguished from MMOs.
I agree.
Some people really enjoy those support classes though, so maybe not a complete extinguish but like in GW2 have those builds (like support ele or support guardian) still available to those who want to focus on it :rolleyes:
Care to explain ? :D
In GW2 you get to choose what role you want to play without rerolling. There are classes which are more adept at supporting than others, but the base party playstyle in GW2 doesn't need any specific role to complete a successful run inside dungeons.
And sometimes with my healer I feel frustrated to not be able to contribute more to the party other than idling around in Kartia's first room...

Yes, it is the future, newer MMOs are also following this same style, as Blade&Soul(recently released in Korea), ArcheAge and Lineage Eternal.
While in L2, if you don't have a CP, you can spend hours to find a party, in GW2 and B&S you can make a party very fast, because any class can join a party since they have the same level range, you don't need to waste your time like in L2, waiting for a certain class that almost nobody plays to join your party because without it, your party won't succeed.
GW2 developers really took the word BALANCE seriously!
