My friend gave me her laptop cause mine broke (she had 2) so I saw this game dowloaded in it and decided to try it myself. I just made an account but there is one thing I'm wondering. What class should I choose? I mean there are plenty:

Blademaster
Wizard
Barbarian
Venomancer
Cleric
Archer
Psychic
Assasin

I don't know which to choose (but I think I feel warm to being an archer).
Please suggest me a class. I am looking for a class that does high amounts of damage from far , is archer good at that?

Edit: Ok thanks everyone I decided to choose acher.

    from personal experience, an archer can deal TONS of damage at range. but on the same side of the coin, so does a psychic, which in my opinion is easier to play.

    basically is boils down to this:
    physical or magical?

    Archer's are a great class and i love them as my main DD's in all squads but they are supposedly quite challenging at the start to about 40 someone told me and require patience.

    Clerics are the most needed class in PW they can DD but they have alot of buffs and heals to keep squad members alive.

    BM can master all melee weapons (except daggers) and have a very wide range of skills again i personally squad with BMs alot.

    Barbarians - The best tank of the game pure and simple, they look awesome in tiger form and have tons of hp again im squaded with these alot and are again one of the most needed classes of this game.

    Veno - PW in easy mode, they are a great class and are good for tanking certain TT bosses when they have a herc as the pet does more dmge than other classes, but anyway they have a pet with them who does good damage aswell as them, again i usually squad with a veno to lure and tank some bosses to save barb's repair build.


    (I left out other classes because i dont usually squad with them or know alot of positves about them from personal experience).

    By that do you mean creating magic or just using unmagic things? If I got that question right I don't want to use too flashy things but rather kill fast from far

    If you are wanting to attack from afar then aan archer or a mage class may be for you. Mages attack with mostly magic however archers attack with physical and a few skills with magic effects.

    shes asking to you want to use a weapon to deal damage, or magic. if you feel that way about not wanting to be flashy but still kill rather decently from afar, archer or venomancer is your ticket.

    both classes are easy to build, but not easy to play, despite what others may think. once they get going, theyre some of the best squad mates anyone can have.

    archer does big damage while attacking really fast.

    venomancer has simple looking spells and a pet tank, theyre cheap to maintain, but take a bit of coordination to play.

    psychics aren't the "flashy" either, and their moves are eacy to cycle once you get landslide

    If you want really challenge. Pick the mage(wizard) It the most difficult to play till end game. lv. 100+ But at the end game is the most owning class. Just prepare for yourself for long and expensive way. If you patient enough you will shine at the end.

    I'm still Lv. 80, but hell yeah I'm enjoying Wizard, I play for 1 year with a lot of breaks and I could never stop playing Wizzies, which I made like 25 lmao. It's so fun and intense that it's more addictive than any class, and yes, it does demand skill to play it :D

    I've played every class that PWI has to offer except barb and psychic.

    Archer is my favorite. Its not real expensive, I don't have to use MP charms (psychic and wizard use a lot of mp) and I do extensive physical and metal damage. I love it.

    I am not speaking from someone who played to lvl 2 or 3. I have played pretty extensively.

    BM lvl 68
    Wiz lvl 74
    Cleric lvl 46
    Assassin lvl 47
    Archer lvl 90
    Veno lvl 13 (just couldn't get into it)

    I think to decide on any class you should play them all at least to lvl 40.

    Good Luck.

    Well, it depends on how you wanna fight. If you wanna fight close, probably a barb, blademaster or assassin's your thing. ranged, probably archer, wizard, cleric, or psychic. whether melee, or magic's your thing is also something that should be put into play. If you prefer low numbers, but a fast attack rate, or if you prefer a slow attack rate, but with high numbers. Perhaps you wanna solo things more often, or if you would rather work in groups? perhaps you like to see lots of critical hits? All these are something you'd wanna take into factor when you choose your class. I never liked playing with melees, so I went with a wiz due to the versatility between elements. But also take not of the downsides of each class. For example, as a wiz, I will often find that things aren't as easy as they would be for other classes, and I will often not get certain attentions that, a cleric probably would. I don't mind it, as after playing a healing class on [game ommited for ban-prevention purposes] I found that I had been asked to heal and buff almost too often to the point that I couldn't stand it. But take note of the pros and cons of each class, and you'll find something you enjoy.
