Ah the musings of a newbie...

So I've been trying the game out for about a week now, and I still can't really decide what class I'd like to play. I tried out a Blademaster till about lvl... 15 I think it was, and found it kindof underwhelming and too slow for my taste. Then I got a Venomancer up to 25 and it suits my style a lot more (the entire easy mode solo play is nifty), but after reading some stuffs it seems to me that at some point they're not exactly a wanted class for groups. I've been thinking about trying out an archer or mage, or possibly a cleric.

I suppose my question is what people would reccommend I try, for soloability and groupwork (which seems to be essential at later levels). I would imagine clerics kill way too slow but are badly needed for groups, archers are ok in both, and mages are wanted for their aoes, but at the same time rely on eating pots like mad. I'm not really a fan of melee/tank classes, nothing against them just isn't really my up of tea.

Any thoughts?

    Well I have tried all classes and the only one I found boring was the Barbarian which I deleted.
    Personally I like the archer best and second my blademaster.
    I have a wizard, a veno and a cleric too that now and again I will play.
    You have 8 slots so use them to experiment and slowly you will develop a favorite. Each of us has their own playing style and taste.

    I am liking the wizard, although I am extremely fragile and have to be careful.

    I'm rather partial to my blademaster and wizard although that may be because nobody wants them in a party.

    Everything I write here is by my opinion and if there is anything I can change if possible I will do that most of the classes I used were not uses for very long so at a low level that is what I experinced but a high level I have no idea if this changes.

    By the way all classes use a little magic but the classes I put uses magic on uses alot of magic.

    I completly agree because I have tried most of the classes.

    The Archer: My favorite but is the most expensive class because you have to buy the arrows, bolts, and ores.

    The Wizard: Very high hitting but is very fragile Driia said it is very fragile. Uses magic.

    The Venomancer: very fun to play because it has a pet witch in my opinion is fan to take care of and it will take most of the damage to themselves all you have to do it heal and feed the pet to keep it healthy. A downside is that you can only have a female not a male. Can use magic.

    The Cleric: Hits meduim damge compared to the Veno and Wizard. My second favorite class. It is often needed in FB's because they can heal themselves and others in addiction to attacking there opponets. Uses magic.

    The Barbarian: In my opinions it is THE BEST TANK. Pulls high has lots of health and are pretty cool looking. The down side is that you cannot have a female barbarian only male.

    The only class I have not used is a Blademaster.
