Hey all, I am downloading the game and i am wondering what class to choose once I'm done! The
two classes that I'm most drawn to are Blade Master and Barbarian. Ive looked through a few forums and quite a few threads to do some research on the classes. I was wondering if i could get some more feedback on the two classes from other players now. I'm not sure whats better in this particular game but in other games Ive played partying is always fun, also i would like to keep the money i earn and not have to spend massive amounts on weapons, Armour and potions. Another thing is that I'm not interested in PvP, i really only play to level up, meet some people, and have fun. hopefully that's enough information for you guys to come to a conclusion on what would be a better class for me. Thanks for your time and have fun! =)

Thanks,
grsb.

    Play as a barbarian. You'll have an easier time finding groups b/c they're always looking for barbs to tank. Blademasters are capable of tanking, but don't usually do as well as a barbarian can. And since you're always needed, you'll lvl faster.

    Here in Lost City Server we had lots of fights between Flamez(Barbarian) and Deity(BladeNoobMaster) and the result is always the same, the barbarian wins every time even with the Blademaster having more level and more money on EQ.

    Be Smart, Play Barbarian and all will call you to HH and FBs.
    This is a warning b:victory

    Well let me quote you, "Another thing is that I'm not interested in PvP, i really only play to level up, meet some people, and have fun."

    Well, fun you will always have as long as you got friends. Before hand i'd love to tell you that is you don't like PvP that much don't go to Lost City server. Since most ppl there is obsesed with wasting huge amount of time and money on gears so they can kill someone else and make a monument about it, even if lower level and weak class to them.

    Second, i do agree that barbarians get into teams of FBs and HH plus they are more liked in groups than blademasters. So if you plan to waste loads of time with your friend this is good for you.

    In the other hand, Blademaster level a lot faster than barbarians. How so? Well, they can do solo what a full group must do in order to level, which is killing multiple target at the same time with a little help of a healer or simple guardian charms.

    As for end-game stuff is related, both represent an edge on the game. Considerthat you must invest enough money/gold/time on their equipment so you are good.
    Barbarians are able to survive about anything in a 1 vs 1. Not sure how realistic is a 1 vs 1 at high leves but still hard target. For barbs, money is kind of short since they will be tanking all the time and repair/charms/armor-upgrades are vital.

    Blademasters are somehow a "cooler" melee character. You can use multiple weapons and make personal combos that fits your style. Also, BMs are the second richest class on game as they save a lot of hiero and get all drops by themselves if they solo AoE. You sure won't have same survavility than a barbarian but everyone will sure fear you. In 1 vs 1, not considering the barbs as a comon target, you will be able to stun lock people making them unable to run away, nor deal dmg to you. Also they specialize on masive/constant AoE dmg so ppl will try to split up when you run into their groups.

    b:bye Enjoy the game.

    If you dont play Blademaster, you will miss the multiweapon fun of this class.

    Don't ever play as a bm. You'll have the urge to use axes when nekked, and swinging that stuff around can't be good for your bits 'n pieces. Definitely go barb.

    This thread was made in 2008. 2008 was far before people discovered that fists + -interval = OMFG.
