    Great work! Hopefully someone less tired than I am will add in the deities and backgrounds, which I am very interested in seeing. I got a good look in the MMORPG.com video, but not everything was covered.

    Thanks for the compilation jimhon. Well this throws a monkey wrench in my decisions. I was set on dwarf cleric, but now the human seems really juicy... decisions, decisions!

    Cheers!

    I'd love to start theorycrafting already about builds and races, but need to wait a bit more...

    Would love to build an evasion tank in this game too, but so far the stars aren't in my favor

    It's worth mentioning that the humans 2 "heroic feat points" does not equal 2 full feats. Feats appear to have 5 ranks to them. Heroic are the basic ones too. You could use 2 points to raise Toughness to 2/5 which would give 2% extra hitpoints then finish it off with 3 points from normal leveling.

    I've been looking at the teifling one "10% chance when hit to lower attackers power by 5% for 5 seconds" thinking that its hands-down the best tanking racial. And I feel like the 5% damage when they're bloodied might make up for the missing str that a dwarf would get.

    Tough call though... Even halfling looks like he'd make an alright tank with those con points and defensive racials.

    Ok, the GWF logic.

    If pixie lance is a dagger, what will pixie dagger be?

    A Lance!

    We're using this as a placeholder forum for Community Made guides, as it is the best place for them right now while we wait for Launch. After Launch, we should have a dedicated Community Guide forum. At least I have put in the request for one anyway. Maybe we will be able to get one sooner but since most Guides won't be suitable until Launch, that may not happen until then. :)

    My Great Weapon Fighter will be a Teifling... and not sure what else yet... Would Love a Monk for my "Regular" Character... (IE the one i make in most MMO's) Or Warlord would be good for him. Probally make a Rogue too

    Hmm...technically due to the overly generous people whom I am kissing their feet between typing...when I log in this weekend...I might make a Cleric due to wizard and GWF being out...

    And if I can't get in a later weekend, I'll live with that, but just might have some funds....

    Looks like you did your homework! A lot of very interesting bits of info. I'm always drawn to the cleric class, but I must admit, I'm tempted toward the guardian fighter this time, just to be able to say I've got the skill of "dungeoneering"!
    Choosing among the races will prove a greater challenge. They all seem to be pretty well-rounded, and to offer some real competition with each other. I just may end up going with Dwarf...

    I really hope it datamined, I really want to play the Dragonborn.

    Cryptic will be releasing more classes and races later on. Although I am surprised that Dragonborne were not in initial release and Teiflings were since the two races are so intertwined in their lore.

    Update to drow, change dual wielding bonus to "Trance"? Trance being the bonus to healing done while at campfires.
