    Totally healer, it's the first class I picked.

    I just feel helpless if I see someone else dying and I can't do anything.

    When I'm playing my veno I try to steal aggro to save the dying, and when I'm on my psy I try to either freeze it or kill it fast, but it isn't quite the same as being able to throw out a quick heal.

    Early unoffical direct download link: Patch 444 (9.4 MB)

    As usual, do not install the patch until after the servers go down for maintenance or you probably won't be able to login.

    Only a 9.4 MB download, so they aren't preloading the expansion data yet.

    I would like to say healer because I find it more helpful but, ranged DD. b:surrender

    Reasoning:

    Healers -
    Clerics - Pro: heal and buff outside (PvE Sins xD)) Con: Need some timing

    Tank/Close range DD:
    Barbs - Need more HP control/timing
    Sins - Pro: Late levels can tank bosses
    - Con: Due to low HP and in-your-face playing style, lvls 2X are troublesome.
    BMs - Eh I'd rather be an Archer or a Barb ... scratch that just an Archer. ^_^;

    Ranged DD
    Veno - Pro: Can hide if needed and is far away to run if pet dies
    - Con: hmm low HP?
    Psy - Pro: Can tank magic monsters, lot of range imo, not oneshoting Psy = your prolly died
    - Con: Low HP?
    Wiz - N/A

    Archer - Pro: Can hardly be touched
    - Con: Due to low damage close range and hardly ever getting hit, tanking bosses may be difficult.
    (Singled out Archers due to physical damage output and the fact that there fun to play imo. :))

    lol, they're not just gonna slip the expansion into a random maintenance. We'll know in advance when it's coming, and as far as I can tell that won't be for a few more months.

    china wont be gettin expansion till i believe dec 8? correct me if im wrong. but we wont get expansion for another month or two after that due to they have to translate and all that other fun stuff. so sorry my friend but we got about a 2-3month wait till we see expansion unless said otherwise

    Actually, that's kind of what they did for the Rising Tide expansion. Patch 196 preloaded ~378 MB of data for that expansion. The actual release wasn't until six patches and 2.5 months later, for patch 233.

    I find it fishy there are no mods with fish avatars.....just sayin. Also wondering what the Earthguard forum avatars are gonna look like...

    I so far have liked psychic the best so far. Big number at a fast pace was pretty fun for me. Yeah i know doing a little damage faster actually does more damage, but seeing the big number makes me feel like I'm doing something.

    true this is. but wat i think is they broke it down into smaller patchs because if they did it in one go....i would almost bet the maint would of been like 8-10 hours aprox...instead for the 4-5 hour. i defiently hope they do that here cause if they are revamping the whole map and try to run patch update in one go....well lets just say ull be spending a day or two in the real world XD....ijs though

    As a veno, i dont really see myself as just a DD, but a all around class (minus healer). I can tank certain things, and I like to help whenever i can (amping bosses, using my roar skill on my pet to save other people, etc). So imo, I'm not a DD, but a Veno ^^.

    A good moderator should:
    - Have the computer skills necessary to handle forum-related tasks (Web skills, basic programming)
    - Be patient to handle all sorts of requests
    - Be level-headed to keep discussions and some petty squabbles in check.b:cool

    would liek to point out im from dreamweaver not arch. also u didnt specify the circumstances u only asked if they could pull and i answered....though i will say the TW i did pull was a 18~20 vs 22~25 TW lvls varying 60's-100's on both sides

    as a joke in the first place, not to be taken seriously. Also i wasn't implying you were in arch server TW.

    I do remember though the new state dreamweaver is in now that calamity fell and all the territoriess were up for grabs. I can understand that happening there now, took me minute to remember.
