The best class is umm...umm...umm....umm....
The Umm class!
But if you want a completely biased opinion unlike the answer above... ZephyrX says the best class is an Elf Priest, because that's the class he is currently using. It pwns.. manPosition: Professional Forum Troll
Position Details: Be able to incite people to flames and perform miracles such as telling people what's right and what's wrong. Be able to dish out flames to other people so fire extinguishers are needed to put out the flames. Most of all, giving others a piece of reality.

In my opinion, Elves are the best class for certain reasons
Clerics are wanted in every party, FB, TT, ect.
Archers are strong, and there's are strong chance that your monster would be killed before it got to you
Clerics should team up with archers, because with clerics, archers have to meditate after every kill because it loses so much health. That's why I have a faction for elves only, and it's going every well right now

There is no real "best" class. It's all according to how you want to play.
Personally, I'm loving the cleric. Not a big variety of attack skills, but Plume Shot owns. The buffs are nice, and a healer is always welcome. Their downside is being so squishy, which can be countered with a little spam of Ironheart in some cases.
Its all according to what role you want to play in a party.0 -
There is no best class. Everyone is needed and everyone pwns. It depends on your playing style... Dont ask what is the best class... Ask yourself what playing style you like. Personally I like being able to tank a little but also deal decent dmg so I chose the BM. So dont ask dumb questions... There isnt any best class in any game is how you play it...0
-
as others have said, choose base on your playstyle.
some enjoy to shield the party, so they will go for barb
some enjoy backing up the party with heals, so they will go for clerics

i agree with you that an archer with clerics buffs is very good.
personally, i ask for buffs from green weaponed clerics before i go out hunting. however, there is really no need for archers to party with people for normal mobs.
as for your faction, it may seem fine now, but be prepared to ask for support from outside. as, for example, you do not have a barb in the faction, so for any sort of tanking, you will be looking for barbs from outside the faction.
a faction imo is a group of helpful and nice people, of different classes, hang out and help each other. this way, you keep the good stuff inside your faction. eg, fbs and TTs give good exp and good drops. by doing them with people from your own faction, the drops and exp are shared and kept inside the faction, so the faction as a own grows. yet, if you ask support from outside, regardless of the fact that a lot of the times people won't help you, but you will also let wealth out of the faction0 -
Id like to be a GM class so I can pwnz

There's like 10 million trillion gazillion zillion supertillion omgillion amount of posts about the best class.
In other words, posts about BEST RACE/CLASS etc.. are a waste of anyone's time except those who like to loophole through the TOS's topic about no power posting. Since people like me can post random ideas and increase my post count.
Umm.. I take my advice back. I like Blademasters because they have blades. It really pwns also.Position: Professional Forum Troll

It isn't a stupid question, because a lot of MMOs do have a 'best class'.
PWI isn't one of those, though, so here's a little breakdown:
HUMANS:
BladeMaster: Ok DD and ok tank, but not great at either. LOTS of stuns and AoE abilities. Can AoE grind late-game. Frequently wanted in parties.
Wizard: Magical ranged DD. Lots of attack spells, a few buffs. Honestly, though, not that much better DD than a cleric. VERY squishy. Wizards got a bit of a shaft in this game. Frequently wanted in parties.
Elves: Note: All elves can fly at lvl 1, other races have to wait until lvl 30
Archer: Physical ranged DD. Lots of criticals. Can usually avoid being hit altogether between evasion and fast kills. Can be pretty squishy if you are hit, though. Frequently wanted in parties. Can pwn in PVP due to high dmg and spike dmg.
Clerics: Heals, stackable heal over time, buffs, a few debuffs, both physical and magical attack spells. Clerics are great at DD and healing, but are probably the squishiest class out there. You'll also burn through MP potions and charms like a madman. ALWAYS wanted in parties. Always.
Untamed: NOTE: Barbs can only be male, Venos can only be female
Barbarians: EXCELENT tank. MASSIVE Hp. Good debuffs. A couple of buffs. Terrible damage. You will sit there and hit and hit and hit and hit. Very high repair costs, too. ALWAYS wanted in parties. Always. Can pwn in PVP due to massive HP.
Venomancer: Pet class. Solo class. Moneymaking class. Low dmg for caster, low dmg for pet, but together it's ok dmg (better than BM, not even close to Archer, Cleric, or Wiz). Can heal pet (aka tank and heal at same time). This class takes a lot of multitasking, but is very efficient if you're good at it. If the Veno gets attacked, though, you're about as squishy as a cleric. Has the potential to grind almost unstopped thanks to a restorative skill combo. Rarely wanted in parties, at least until late game.0 -
Sylvini pretty much hits the spot and in PW we dont have a best class. All the classes are needed and all of them plays a part in the great feature of PW which is TW. I said that this was a stupid question because personally, when I play a game, I dont care about the strength of the class just as long as I like to play it and it isnt like really too off the strongest class in the game( cause it would mean the game suck ). So play cause you like to play the char. Anyway refer to her information and start playing. You wont regret playing PWI0

yea...the bolded part...so not true.I was early taught to work as well as play,
My life has been one long, happy holiday;
Full of work and full of play-
I dropped the worry on the way-
And God was good to me everyday.0 -
I'll take your word for that, Lloyd. I just said that because almost all the quest guides I see say archers and wizards are almost interchangable for DD duty (fill the role in different ways, but both fill the role). I've never played a Wizard myself, and my Archer is still rising in lvls.0
-
That's your opinion.
I'm surprised at least 1 person made the question so bread, usually its about the direct type of class.
You can look at descriptions and make yoru own choice, or create some accounts to test out to your liking.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

They are physical and magical, they are not really squishy they don't pwn in PvP because of high dmg they pwn because of fast dmg.Sylvini - Heavens Tear wrote: »Clerics: Heals, stackable heal over time, buffs, a few debuffs, both physical and magical attack spells.

We are not the squishiest class, we have Plume shell and Ironheart, we are less squishy that wizards and archers. (Archers in some cases not generally but in some cases we are less squishy)Sylvini - Heavens Tear wrote: »Untamed: NOTE: Barbs can only be male, Venos can only be female

Well, I did a faction - mate's FB 19 last friday, and I must say, I couldn't survive doing it on my own.
The first person I messaged was a barbarian for tanking, for 2 reasons, because I don't have any blademaster friends, and because they're good for tanking.
The second was a cleric, as we need someone to heal us and buff us and rez us and yeah.
The third was a venomancer, because a veno=2 people, kind of, because of the pet, and the actual player,
The third was another barbarian, coz i thought we needed another physical damage dealer.
Blademasters aren't that frequently wanted, since they don't tank as well, and wizards are NEVER EVER WANTED.
Archers are so not squishy, well maybe a bit, but we have Winged Shell, which takes away so much damage for us.
So really humans are just the boring, rejected back-up class that not many people like, since they don't have any special abilities.
But this is just my opinion0 -

"Can pwn in PVP due to massive HP."
you got THAT right. mage classes never stood a chance to a barb in the first place(xcept nix+veno or a good wizard). Bms? barb damage catches up FAST at 70's, not to mention bms are very feeble compared to barbs. archers dont stand a chance against a blood bathed barb.
"Terrible damage."

Humans are never wanted? I see... Well lets see, I wont comment on the other classes cause I know each have their own uses. First, Barbs and Clerics are the most wanted for parties but you know they cant do things on their own. Veno are more of a solo class and they are good in fbs for luring. Archers are the critical dudes who attack fast and are ranged. Wizards..... are insane damage dealers.. No matter what the other classes do, Wizard never loses in dmg dealing... They deal lots of dmg which is useful in a party cause see, barb tanks and cleric heal. The mobs the barb gathers the wizard kill them really fast... Their skills owns. Well BMs are as what you guys say may be the most boring class but definitely not useless.... Depending on the people's skill in handling their character you see... Imagine the barb dies cause a useless cleric was being stupid... Well you guys may not have encountered it but I have seen clerics so useless they are 80 and dieing in 39s and all cause they didnt know how to heal properly... There, BMs help to tank. What you gonna make a cleric tank the physical mobs? The poor person would have his heir tick lots of times... BMs are the stunners. They have amazing stun skills that no other classes have... They are useful even when you say the stun last only a few seconds... but BMs have a few stuns(not sure how many kinda forgot) and this adds up to many secs which if not stun, you could have died maybe in a TW? Dont go around putting down other classes... If you are so smart then DONT EVER ASK WIZARD OR BMS TO HELP YOU WITH ANYTHING... IF YOU DO THAT, I WILL RESPECT YOU...
This comment is to address to the MORONS commenting on other classes being useless...0 -
It might be true that BM-s are backup class in case the uber-classes for the job are not found. However that usually IS the case. Majority of my FB/Boss quests are tanked by BM's 10+Lv higher than me because there are not lot of Barbs around. And since BM's not only tank but also hit hard then you get Tank/DD for the price of 1. I think hi-dex BM's (sword/fist) may be best (have yet to confirm) since I am a sword BM myself can produce fair amount of critical hits to keep mob interested in me. I also wear few critical+ items.
BM's are out there. Barbs are much more rare sight. If I wanna get Q done now I'll call my friends BM's and get it done. Who cares if some unknown barb would have done it better.
Edit: I don't wanna sound bad towards barbarians- you're great tanks. But I just point out that there are many BM's out there who also tank frequently in squads and are successful doing it. They kinda share your workload.0 -
Wizards may be wanted in FB's and things because of the insanely high damage, but the slow casting time drags it down by heaps. Archers are probably gonna be chosen before the wizards because of the fast attack rate, and it has higher than average damage, especially at range. Archers have stuns, and the rest....i don't know.
Also, I doubt there's a stupid ignorant cleric that wouldn't heal PROPERLY, and somehow goes ahead in front of everybody else wanting to be bait and die straight away. People aren't THAT dumb, and I've seen barbarians tank a whole roomful of FB monsters and the most HP they lost was like half of their total HP.
And to Oldbear, yeah, i sometimes discuss with my barbarian friend about tanking, and we both think that barbarians are more of the better TANK, as they take the damage, while blademasters are more of the offensive....tank.
So
barbarian - Defensive tank
blademaster - Offensive tank
Archer - Fast damage dealer
Wizard - Slow damage dealer
Venomancer - Defensive/Offensive tank, damage dealer, lurer....
Cleric - Support damage dealer, healer, buffs, random

Mages can deal insanely high damage without pulling as much aggro as the archers, who just crit like crazy. I personally prefer mages as DDbarbarian - Defensive tank
blademaster - Offensive tank
Archer - Fast damage dealer
Wizard - Slow damage dealer
Venomancer - Defensive/Offensive tank, damage dealer, lurer....
Cleric - Support damage dealer, healer, buffs, random
A good PvP Blademaster can't tank, because he just can't stand the constant beating b:surrender hurts a bit, or it'll be hiero **** for him. I mean, I know some tank BMs on the server, but if a Barb can tank and waste their money on repairs, why bother? b:pleased
Once again, you're wrong, Mages pump up their DPS skill, that deals 40k per pulse at level 60 and yeah... that's insane.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
