What side for WAR?

Post by Ender »

What faction and career will you play in Warhammer Online, Age of Reckoning? Do keep in mind the latest content cuts limiting the careers now available, and limiting it to 2 capitals.

I favor healers, mainly because I like being in demand for raids and I like the contradiction of a role that is supposed to be helpful and positive being able to unleash utter hell on an opponent. I have some fond memories of my shadow priest and my buddy's warlock redefining pain for Alliance douchebags who raided lowbie towns.

In that veing I'm thinking dwarven runepriest to assist the ironbreaker, though my hatred for all things dwarf in fantasy still has me leaning towards Warrior-priest.

Wiki link for those who can't remember the options.

A bunch of my buddies from my old SWG Stormtrooper guild are gearing up for da WAAAAGH! Though this news about no Choppa seriously fucking burns.

I can't give details due to NDA, but I'll second the Warrior Priest, which will probably be my main alt with no fucking Knight otBS. It's very fun.

Gah, I'd been planning on playing a Choppa to a friend of mine's Shaman, but now...blargh. I dunno.

*Edit*

I hope they plan on releasing them later and not cheaping out and doing it as an expansion pack.

High Elves are the main army I collect, and I really like playing as a Ranger in Guild Wars. So I'll probably pick the High Elf Shadow Warrior as my preferred character.

What's the class that drives away all the PvE people with constant hassling? I want that one.

Warrior Priest is the first time I've considered playing a "healbot" in an MMORPG.

WP (or any other healing class for that matter, but WP in particular) is no "healbot," let me tell you. Again, unfortunately I can't give you the why of it or the juicy details, but it's probably more accurate to think of them as more in the paladin archetype than, say, the cloth-wearing priest.

I'm not particularly familiar with Runepriest so I can't offer much there, but Archmage plays like a... well, a mage. Who heals.

Disciple of Khaine is like WP, only more killy. Zealot I'm also not very familiar with, and Shaman is also very much like a mage who also heals.

Bottom line, there's no such thing as a "healbot" here.

I'm not sure why, but I honestly think the White Lion is more suited as a High Elf tank than the Swordmaster. I might just be confusing my fluff though.

White Lions are the king of all High Elf units.

Never field an army without them. If I play this game, then any path that lets me put on the lionskin cloak and put my axe between the enemy and the Phoenix King is fine by me.

Just as long as I don't have to do 40,000 fucking fetch quests to get there.

White Lion looks like a really great class, and yeah, it seems it should either be a tank or an "off tank." A melee class with a pet? Pure awesome. If only the Lion Chariots were offered as a mount as well.
