What class and faction will you play and why ? (was forum=22Follow

I have yet to play as the defiant, so i cant pick a faction. I think i will be a rouge, because i like the sneaky classes.

Most likely my guild will be going guardian, but alot of us haven't had a chance to play yet so this might all be changing in the future.

As for class, I'll most likely go cleric, not sure what souls though. I've heard shaman is a very nice class, pure dps cleric, so it will be nice to dps then heal as a cleric :p

I'll probably go Gaurdian, and play some kind of support class, still not 100% sure exactly what.

I'll play Defiant for the same reason I played an Asmodian in Aion: The "light" faction always seems like a bunch of jackasses.

Probably Guardian Assassin, as this was my favorite character through beta's 1 & 2.
Either that or a warrior build, as warriors seem to be the only thing i couldn't beat consistantly in duels with my assassin.

As a 40k fan, the Guardian's whole "arrogant Knight Templar" schtick appeals to me more than the Defiant's "Freedom at any cost" vibe. I'll probably roll a Defiant for Beta 3 just to see their side of it, but I doubt it'll hold my interest. As for class, I always main a healer in any game I play...Gotta keep those little green bars full!

I'm going to make a rogue, and hopefully they will be as fun as I anticipate.
Particularly a Blade Dancer, but i still havent decided what other souls i will be.

I've played a Defiant Cleric (Healing Soul) and a Guardian Paladin. I LOVE healing, and have always played a Cleric, but I enjoyed playing the Paladin so much in this game I think I will be one. Right now I am going to go Defiant because I HATE the main character's voice actor for the Guardians, but have heard they got a new person to do the voice-over, so I will have to wait and see.

I'll definitely be starting a mage. Within that, I think it'd be helpful when soloing to have a pet along with you to keep the mob at range and keep your health happy. Therefore, I'll definitely be using a necromancer 1-50. Once the real pvp and raiding starts at level 50, then I'll probably focus more on a pure DPS class that could have more utility in a group, so that means pyromancer for me. What I found to be pretty cool under the pyromancer tree that I foresee being pretty powerful is an armor ability. It grants every fire spell you cast a 10% chance to reset the cooldown on your biggest, 6 second-cast nuke, and it makes the next cast of it INSTANT! As pyros already have some big DPS, when this thing procs, its GG.

I could also make a marks/ranger and utilize their range and movement speed bonuses to be a master hit and run person. Combined with either a Riftstalker's 15meter blink ability, or an Assasins stealth ability, they can do some serious kiting and hit-and-run, while still capable of soloing capably and putting out solid DPS for groups.

Warrior, I've always played clerics or casters. Warrior classes in this game seem so insanely fun. I can't wait!

After playing I'm torn between Justicar or Marksman, both souls had there strengths and weaknesses, but I enjoyed playing on both of them.

I did IT with a Reaver tank. Now THAT was a beast tank lol.

It will definitely be a mage with some sort of pet soul and then a CC soul as secondary. The reasoning is that the combination makes for a very powerful combination when melded together for the player to manage adds and things of that sort while the pet is able to act somewhat independently to deal damage and keep aggro on a main target. A third soul might be some sort of DOT.

I messed around with some of the warrior souls and while impressive, I didn't find exciting to play in the least, could have been I picked the wrong ones.

My friend was healing himself with Reaver (maybe just a little but it was still significant enough). There was sumthing that turns damage into health and spreads his DoTs into aoe's (therefore more DPS therefore more health. I don't know the abilities though.... I think my warlock friend actually did most of the healing that round besides that (we had a cleric too).

I am planning on having a Guardian Cleric. I have been playing with the roll builder, but not sure what classes I want to focus on first. Sentinel seems to be along the lines of my idea of a traditional cleric, so I guess that will be in the mix.
