If you could only have 1 character, 1 account, no alts of any kind at all and never be anything different. What class would you be? Go ahead and tell people why you picked the class you picked if you want too.

    If I could only pick one class to play, I would still play a barb. I enjoy helping others. ^^

    A cleric, probably. I enjoy playing my cleric, have a much easier time getting into squads, and I'm actually needed on that char for... everything. lol

    I tried other classes, and while my second favorite is wizard, I always keep coming back to veno. I just find it very enjoyable, it's hard to describe. You can be as useful or as useless as you want to be, and it allows both solo and party work. I just like veno xD

    veno, for the flexibility and adaptability. you can play a veno almost any which way around you please, with just about any armor; it's like three different classes in one.

    Will I guess if someone just hates all the classes now or really can't decide on one they might pick one of the new classes. I hope if they do pick one of the new classes they tell us what they know about them and why they picked that class.

    Yes I think all classes should have a color, and I think these colors work well for each one. Also I have my friends list in the game grouped by class and I use the same colors. So when I see a friend on radar I know which class it is just by the color of the dot. Then I just check to see who is on. And if I have no one of that class on I know a friend deleted me off there list and I can ask them why. b:cry

    Well, ignoring the army of mules and two chars that I wanted to try but didn't even get to FB19, I only HAVE one char. Back then, Venomancers seemed the best shot at soloing, and while reality turned out to be a little less bright (people claimed to solo dungeons with their Venos, something that not a lot of games allow these days so it would have been a nice bonus --- instead, I can't even get all my cultivations and normal quests) I still think it's the best choice.
    Slow progress, game is getting way too grindy :-( Quests I still hope to be able to do some day: FB39, General Feng

    Barbarian. There's more room for error on barbs, and it's fun getting hit by the boss and still living. It was fun up to lvl94 being a tank...now I'm just a high HP buff giver, but it's still fun.

    I picked Veno because it's a very versatile class in terms of gear and gameplay, although it's not really my choice for an endgame class. It's also cost efficient to be a veno and if you own a herc, you can be pretty rich.

    Psychics are pretty fun to play too, even so I still prefer my assassin :D

    Its a very hard question since i dont think i would enjoy playing the game at all unless i had enough high level alts to fill an entire faction b:chuckle.

    But i think i would pick assassin. With good gear, high interval and bloodpaint you can solo most instances in the game really fast. Its also the most used DD-class and way easier to get into parties than it is for casters/archers/venos.

    I guess you can solo loads with a herc + veno to but its really slow. People seem to think its so OP that you can solo lowbie TT as a veno, but they dont realize how damn time consuming it is. A herc will still be bashing on first boss while any interval build char would be done with the entire instance during the same time.

    Classes i would never pick as first option would be Psy or Wiz. Only playing a caster = 100% cash shop, always need to ask for help and being excluded from pretty much everything besides pvp.

    I'd be a venomancer.

    I enjoy how low maintenance this class is and it's ability to solo much of the game with ease. I really enjoy being a veno, and even after playing other classes, I seem to always return to it. I can live with not being first pick for most squads, mainly for fc runs, as I know I'll be able to do more of them with very little cost (with hypers being under 90k each and having way under 10k repair bills after each run). Even in terms of general gameplay, venos are the cheapest there is to play. The only real costs are for a herc and/or nix, which the money made from the herc far makes up for the cost of them both.

    Ironically, if I couldn't be a veno, I'd be a barb, as I enjoy the ease of access to parties for fb's and fc's, despite the greatly increased difficulty of playing the class. As a barb I would find it very easy to get squads together for five or more fc runs a day, something that just cannot be done as a veno, despite how much I want to do so. The only problem would be the very high cost per run, between hypers and the costs of crab meat and very high repair bills, I'd have to either spend most of my time not in FC trying to get coins for it, or spending a lot of money on the game (I have a poorly geared lvl 90 barb on Archosaur, now retired unless I have a good reason to return to him, who I chose the Pay route for, sadly, but it only shows on my gear and not my skill with the class). In short, I love the advantages of being a barb, but hate the cost, which is why I'd take the veno in a competition between the classes, but this one is still a very close second for me.

    Fuzzy is a barb through and through.

    Not only can we hit like a run away freight train, but we can soak up the damage better than the rest.

    ....plus its still (and always will be) a thrill for Fuzzy to be able to tank everything from the lowliest little mob all the way to Harpy Wraith. We can stand toe to toe with the best of em in pvp and take anything the game can throw out in pve.

    I'd have to be a cleric. I really like being able to help people in all sorts of situations, and that's where the cleric really shines.

    I kind of like being able to solo things, and while the cleric is OK at that (at least, the LA cleric that I play is), it's not as good as a veno.

    If the mystic ends up being a half-veno (with the summoning stuff) half-cleric (with some healing skills) class, as rumored, then I may reconsider my vote. ;-)

    I picked Veno because while the veno cant tank everything with pet / herc the other classes are too relent on other classes IE barb needs cleric. But the veno can do most things alone b:pleased (has a herc veno :P) (BM is decent choice too since they got nice damage and can self heal , their issue is they got to pay for repairs, while veno can do whole entire TT and only have 5k repair)
