    Most fun? Hard to say really, but for me...

    Blademaster: Impressive versatility, great survivability and the ability to make your enemies cower before you (stuns <3) make BMs crazy fun to play with for me. To run into a group of mobs and go nuts with AoEs...sometimes emerging from several corpses battered, bruised and barely alive from combat makes this my favorite HA class to play, just because I get such a rush from it.

    Speaking of AoEs...

    Psychic: Ranged AoE stun/Freeze while dealing ridiculous damage and low channeling makes this my second favorite class to play. Even though they're super squishy, your foes would have to be pretty lucky to even make it to you...and even then we've got Psy Will, SoR, White Voodoo and a fairly decent heal to make up for the meager defenses. Soul of Silence is nice when it works too, though I usually throw it on the cleric in the party (and surprisingly it did help save a few of 'em)

    In any case, I love the idea of "kill quick or be killed quicker" but having range and some defensive skills makes it even better <3

    Barbarian: Playing my Barb may not be as exciting as my BM, but its always nice to be needed. Its nice to switch from being a semi-callous DD to being a protector, even though I may slip up every now and then. However, with a lot of parties (the ones that I've run with lately) not communicating much, it does feel sort of...uncomfortable running an instance. In any case, I enjoy playing a Barb when I dont feel like playing on the edge...with those defenses and HP it probably the most comfortable class to play. =D

    An anti-social Cleric.

    With most classes, you've got to actively go out of your way if you want to annoy other players.

    With a Cleric, just minding your own business and doing your own thing will cause nearby players to go absolutely ballistic as you ignore their pleas for rezzes/buffs/heals.

    This made me lmfao, and besides, it's also true.

    on topic :

    I find clerics to be awesome to play. Healing yourself & others, being able to easily survive Cube (thx to selfheals) , nearly always needed in squads, able to solo a lot of things, what's not to like ?

    My sin however is my pride. She can survive quite a few hits, kill mobs several lvls higher, tank more instances, and is generally lots of fun.
    At the same lvl as my cleric she's stronger, faster, can tank someting and has a higher survivability then him. b:victory

    A toon i don't play is veno, i hate the whole pet system, kinda confused me at start so i gave up on it, but i'm betting they're awesome once you get the hang of it, esp when i see some high lvl venos being a pain in the butt when you fight em in TW (or duels) b:laugh

    Honestly, for me there is no one "most fun" class, since different classes are more fun depending on what mood I'm in.

    If I'm in a "I just wanna blast stuff" mood, I play my psychic. Her normal damage is awesome, and her crits are huge for her level. I just really like the raw power she has. Still, a bit squishy since I went with a full mag build.

    If I'm in a helpful mood, I play my cleric. I like helping people out, and I often get complements when playing my cleric, so that helps as well. I play a light armor cleric, but my skills are maxed, so at this point I still do plenty of damage and heal pretty well. Still, it can be a bit frustrating with the occasional moron(s) in a squad, since I try to save them too.

    If I'm in a mood where I'd rather be by myself, I'll play my venomancer. I rather enjoy taking things down solo that normally need a squad. For example, I did the Wraith's Ploy quest opening up Old Heaven's Tear totally solo by level 80. Playing around with the pet skills is interesting too. I have a plan for a really nasty skill combo I'd like to try someday when I can afford it. My tank pet's really good at keeping aggro, but even if she does get aggro, she's a vit build so she can handle a bit of damage. Keeping the pets leveled up is a bit time consuming, and their skills are expensive though.

    Based on the above, I suspect I'll like the mystic class, so I'll be rolling one of them too.

    So, there's not really one that's the "most fun" all of the time, but there's usually one to suit my various moods.

    Cleric is always fun because it's challenging and I prefer supporting over DDing.

    I like barb and sin the most and would most likely like my bm as well if i leveled him up to mid levels

    Don't know what it is but any ranged/magic class seems to bore me

    I really like my Veno and my Cleric. So I know for sure Mystic is probably going to be my favorite class (not to mention I played a mystic for a few lvls on PW-CN). Can you tell me exactly how awesome Veno gets? I mean you say a Veno can solo a lot of group content, is this true? Can I also make a lot of money as a Veno?

    Barb for me.

    but really i suppose it all comes down to what you like to do as to which you would find the most enjoyable character to play.

    i honestly got bored of playing veno after 70 levels, and deleted it.
    I have an archer at 73 that i still sometimes play on occasion, but i tend to get bored with it too.
    I recent started an assassin that i have at level 29 now, not sure how often I'll be playing it to be honest - but it seems kinda fun so far.

    but when it all comes down to it.. probably the only toon I'll level and do all quests on to the point where my barb is at is.. my barb. all the other toons I might roll will just level up off of dailies or w/e. I just can't see myself going through every single quest again for 100+ levels. When seeker comes out, its just going to share end game gear with my barb lol (once it gets to that point).

    Just needs more SOS fireworks. b:bye

    If you a 'resurrecting' them it is their experience that they get back.

    1. Resurrection if you are in the general area / dungeon in party / with the forthcoming Seeker addition will be avaliable. Are the more logical moves.

    2. Resurrection across the other side of the map or if you feel for the other person is an emotional move and therefore is at your own ego's discretion.

    I have played one of every class.

    My favorite used to be hands down my bm, now its a toss up between it and sin.

    Tied for 1st: Blademaster: As others pointed out I love the versatility of it, I do love being able to use heaven's flame to debuff the boss, even MSS can be useful. I also got to admit it's kind of nice being known by my characters name, (after all countless people have complimented me on my skill with my bm) even if I don't recognize a lot of people in the 100 range now, very possible alts of someone I would at least recognize/know from a previous guild.

    Cons: I hate having to get chi every time I turn around, and I feel pressured to get ridiculous aps just like just about everyone else seems to have.

    Tied for 1st: Assassin: I so love it's ability to pull chi from thin air whenever I damn well please. :D Also love being able to triple spark pretty much permanently, even with 2.00 sparked. :D Plenty of chances for some aps gear, don't forget the auto chi skills I mentioned earlier. :)

    Cons: Low survivability, can be annoying to level to 89. There is a lot of them.

    2nd: Barbarian: I actually enjoy playing on it, and have recently found out I am half way decent with it as well as my other 2 mains classes. I am finding that a lot of people seem to be over exaggerating when it comes to repair bills, yes it is more then any other class but it is still fun to play as long as it has chi. =x

    Cons: It won't be much longer before my barb becomes a obsolete tank due to the aps craze just like my bm did. =x



    As far as the other 5 classes I played, I honestly haven't played any of them as extensive as I have the first three I listed.

    I do know this though, the bb/rb my cleric has, and the boa my archer has... really loves to eat away at the mp each one has in reserve. The wizards dragon breath is really awesome for only one spark/ and even has real low mana cost. :D I also look forward to diving more into a psychic, but as for my veno, it is nice having a pet tank for me, but I really doubt ill even touch it again anytime soon. =x

    Yup. With a veno and a good pet, it's almost like having a cleric and a barb all rolled into one. The pet tanks, you heal and DD too when you can. Not to mention, having a pet (preferably a ranged one) makes luring so much easier than using Earthflame (better range, no genie stamina/chi stones wasted, and no genie energy recovery wait time).

    Sure. You can solo TTs for mats once you're about level 73 or so if you have a decent pet and build, which isn't a bad way to make money. Heck, the pet can defend you when you're just digging mats too, which is also nice. Finally, since your pet is tanking, only your weapon needs repairs, so less money spent on that as well.

    Oh wow that sounds pretty decent. So is TT normally an area where you would use a squad? Also, are there a lot of crafters in the game? Do you mean crafting mats when you say mats? Can I get other things that are worth more money from TT or from being a veno?

    The most fun class for me to play...I've got a tie.

    I love my Cleric...there's nothing like seeing half your squadies with only like...1k HP after a massive boss AoE and mentally saying to yourself "...it's all cool, I got this..." and casting a single spell, giving them all their life back. Or in the case of healing a single target...having a barb with over 12k HP targeted and giving at LEAST half his life back with a fully-leveled Stream of Rejuvenation.

    In the end...Clerics have it made. We can outheal bosses, we can bring people back from the dead (one step away from being Necromancers) and when all else fails...we have Tempest! The only skill that would make us gods in the game in parties would be if we had a spell to recover everyone's MP instantly and make them better all around. Oh wait...I hear we're working on that...and several other spells. They're called buffs? Okay, we'll get back with you about that PWI Community.

    For the sake of Clerics everywhere, I wish they'd show us numbers in green or something telling us how much we heal. For that matter, I want to be able to crit. heal as well. It'd be sweet to see "Critical Heal! 50,000!" appear above someone's head.

    My second favorite class, despite some time on my sin, is still my psychic. They may be squishy, and they may annoy people with stealing aggro (...my bad!) but there's something about being able to act like you're blowing up with Aqua Cannon that's just too sweet to pass up! Not to mention they have the best knockback in the game...obtained before lvl20 with a 100% chance to interrupt channeling...how sweet is that? Yeah...don't get me started on Psy skills...they're too awesome.

    Soon there will be Mystics :) and Cleric's wont have all the glory anymore. Personally tho I think healing in this game is way too easy. I mean a heal that heals ppl for all their health when they have barely any? Thats kinda broken it makes it so there is no challenge in the game. Makes me kinda sad.

    Yeah, though there is a "solo mode" for it. If you're good enough, and can get three people to help you open TT (requires 4 person squad to open "squad mode"), you can do it in squad mode by yourself, which means more mats and a lower opening fee. Venos can solo TT because of the pet, barbs can solo due to their toughness and HP (though there's a repair cost there), and sins can solo by stealthing their way to the bosses. It's a bit harder for the other classes to solo TT, compared to those three classes.

    Yeah, "mats" are materials used for crafting. You don't need to be a crafter in order to get and sell mats, but it's nice to have at least one crafter among your characters so you can craft anything you need for yourself.

    As for other things to farm and sell, well, that's a bit complicated, and we've already gone a bit off-topic already. Do a search and you can probably find some suggestions, however I'll say it's best to find your own niche, because if everyone tries to make a profit off the same thing, then it stops being profitable due to supply outstripping demand and all of the competition for sales.
