So, I'm again thinking of re-chosing class. And I need Your help. I want the class that:
- won't be Venomancer b:laugh
- will be good in PvP, especially at higher lvls/Endgame
- won't be boring
- will be good during TW
So these are basics things. Now, the thing I want the most in the class are:
1. TW. This is the most important for me.
2. 1v1 & PK
3. Dungeons & Bosses
4. How much coins does it require and is it good class for making money
5. PvE - Yea, speed of lvling up doesn't really interest me, as I am quite patient about it

And I'd like to have the class, with which I could play solo pretty well and be very good in parties.

Thank You all for Your help b:victory

P.S. I apologize for my language mistake

    I can't speak for TW and pvp, since I don't do them (although I hear wizards are really good at endgame for TWs... takes a lot of work and squishiness to get them to that level, though).

    In no particular order:

    Cleric
    Pros: The most in-demand class; you'll never lack for squads. Also pretty versatile; we have both physical and magical attacks, so can pentrate every type of armor.
    Cons: Very expensive class, and not the heaviest of hitters. Also, squishy. And pretty monotonous (man alive, does cyclone-plumeshot spam get old fast)

    Wizard
    Pros: Definitely not boring, has flashy attacks and three different elemental types for ultimate tactics. AWESOME endgame potential, and (again, reputedly) good in TW.
    Cons: Is known to be one of the most difficult classes to play, right up until those high levels. Does good spike damage, but pays for it with squishiness and slow channeling speed. You'll want to invest in channeling gear, and lots of it, or else you'll never get a shot off in pvp.

    Barbarian
    Pros: second most in-demand class for bosses and dungeons. Has lots of hp, so can really take a hit.
    Cons: Most expensive class, just on repairs alone. You will be expected to tank everything, and that gets pricy. Also, pve ccan be tedious without some DDers around, because barbarians kill things REALLY slowly.

    Archer
    Pros: one of the highest damaging classes in the game. Light armor with decent hp means they can take some hits (better than spellcasters anyway), which comes in handy (I'm told) for withstanding pvp long enough to kill your opponent. Overall, a decently well-rounded class.
    Cons: Still kinda squishy, and steals aggro really easily in pve, so you'll need to manage damage dealing in dungeons, especially against bosses.

    Blademaster: I take it from your avatar that your original character is a BM? Just be aware that bm stuns can come in really handy for pvp.

    Venomancer: You said you didn't want veno, so not going into it.

    I haven't seen enough about how the Tideborn classes perform at endgame (mine are only in their 20s), so I can't say much about those. I hear Assassins' stealth can lead to a lot of pvp fun though. b:chuckle

    Everyone loves barbs and clerics, for any situation. They are backbone of team play (and I have heard that barbs are good solo PvP'ers). Either one would be a big help to your guild in TW.

    Also, if you get a friend to play, or make a good friend in-game, one of you can play a cleric while the other plays a barb, and together you will be a chainsaw.

    Barb and cleric are definitely the inseparable duo. If you do have a cleric or barb friend when you are the other class, it's really fun. But anyways, they can go solo as well. And both are great end game classes to be.

    I read some guides and I think about Wizard. Just tell me, how it is about Archers vs Wizards? I heard that Archers as they are snpers, can shot Wizards easily during TWs. Is that true, that Wizard targeted by the Archer is so defenseless?

    If you go in to a setting where you're going to be pvp'ing, you'll get oneshot. And as a wiz, yes it's often by archers. There's not much you can do against a oneshot lol.

    But we aren't defeseless. We 1. have stone barrier, which helps a lot, and 2. charms, pots, appo, genie, etc. Time them wisely and sometimes you'll survive, sometimes you wont.
    Wiz deal massive damage, and in turn, we don't have a high pdef. until late late in the game.

    So maybe Archer would be better? What are main differences in playing those two classes?

    And BTW, can Axe BM keep enemy in stunlock until the end of fight, not letting him do any move?

    before u start a wizard
    its a bad money maker, but needs lots of money for full potential ;)
    also u need to know the other classes if u plan to fight them

    i do recommend to roll a cleric to a certain lvl too.. (maybe on a different account)
    it helps understanding the game squad dynamics :P

    wizard vs archer is
    .. considering the archer can get off more damage in the same amout of time,
    with slightly wider range
    ..wizard seal always is faster then archer stun..
    ..archers never 1shot, they 3shot:P! (in the time wiz need for 1 "fast" skill)
    wizards happen to crit sometimes too, /ends fight

    -Archers are the best ranged DDs (and can equip fists to keep up with bms)
    Archers have the highest range and fast movement speed, hard to get a kiting archer (unless you have invisibility and teleport-to-target + stunlock)
    they have a strong constant aoe-on-target, more metal magic spells then cleric (for heavvies)
    -does require some more skill then auto-attacking fist bm or stealth-fish



    @BM stun, yes, depends on enemy? :P


    roll a class with wich u think u can make lots of coins
    later reroll on wizard and join a tw faction
    i like potato

    if there good a demon bm should be able to stun u for 10+ secs

    if i start a duel or pk with max sparks i can keep in stun for a good 7-10 secs and end it with heavans flame andsome norm attacks accept agains barb they cant hit me i cant put a dent in them so it last for hours (espacialy when we r both charmed}

    Just try them all to lvl 30 and see which you get along with best..no one can really help you make a choice..it depends what your playstyle is. BM can take the most hits out of those 3. Wizard deals most dmg at end game. Archers get stuns, slows, knockbacks etc. b:victory

    most wizzies will have low dps becouse of the long cast time for skills so archer and sin would be ur best bet if u want high dps

    If I had to choose only one from archer, wizard or blademaster, I'd take the archer. I've got one who's +60 atm, and really fun to play. I tried playing a bm and wiz too, but bm was boring and wiz was too squishy, kept dying all the time. Some people say that archers are a difficult class to play, but if you put your attribute points correct and have good armor, your archer will do awesome damage but won't be squishy. For instance, with my archer I can kill most mobs at my level before they even hit me. And although I don't do PvP or TW, I've heard that archers are great at it.
