Thinking about the class

Yea, it's another class thread. I know everyone is sick of them, so I'll try to tell what I expect from class and how I feel about all of them. First of all, PvP is the most important for me. I'll play in LC for sure. I care the most about TWs/mass PvP, secondly about 1v1. I don't really care about PvE, I just want to have class that will be a bit useful at endgame. And I don't wanna click -> autoattack -> wait x seconds until enemy is dead class, I want one that requires thinking. So, my doubts about each of them, melee classes first:

1. Blademaster:
- not sure if BM can be useful in instances at endgame without APS. And I don't wanna go APS
- I don't think they are really good at TW

2. Barbarian:
- I'm afraid that it's impossible to be good tank at endgame without APS
- not sure about their potential in PvP

3. Assasin:
- is it even possible to be good Sin without APS?
- are they any good in group PvP?

4. Seekers - here I would like to hear something about their PvE/1v1/TW from someone who knows this class a bit

Range classes:

1. Venomancer - this would be nice, but I don't wanna female char, 'cause I'm a guy

2. Archer:
- heard they suck at endgame...
- useful at endgame? I'm afraid they're losing with APS classes...

3. Wizards:
- they seem to be great 1shotting class, but aren't ultis only thing they're great at?
- do ppl want Wizards in PvE?

4. Psychics:
- are they wanted in PvE?
- how do they stand in PvP compared to Wizards?

5. Mystics:
- how's their situation in PvP?

6. Cleric - don't really wanna play Cleric

Thanks in advance for answering this b:thanks

    Archers do require thinking. You can have a killer R8 archer or a 5aps beast. So they don't really suck at endgame :)

    Hm, maybe I should make my point more clear. What I exactly want:
    - strategic class requiring thinking (correct me if I'm wrong but I think this eliminates Sin)
    - ability to oneshot/twoshot (some combo like Demon Sunder + Armageddon for Barbs)
    - some AoE attacks
    - class that will be really good in PvP, especially TW
    - would be nice to survive more than 1 hit, but squishness isn't so much of a minus
    - and I know this is personal, but I want interesting, not boring class (I don't wanna do Click -> wait wait wait -> choose another target -> click...)

    Thanks in advance!

    no comment. some sins actually strategize b:surrender especially those of us with low APS, but i admit many just aps away

    - ability to oneshot/twoshot (some combo like Demon Sunder + Armageddon for Barbs)

    barb
    wizard
    SOMETIMES cleric


    - some AoE attacks

    barb
    wiz
    psy
    BM
    archer
    seeker

    clerics, venos, mystics, and sins all have aoes, and can be scary using them (i have 2-shotted arcanes with sin AoEs, and the other day during Arch Assault i kept accidentally almost killing a drop stealing cleric with them b:laugh), but the lack of spammability lowers the usefulness.


    - class that will be really good in PvP, especially TW

    so group pvp is what you want

    Barb
    Wiz
    BM
    psy
    archer
    cleric

    i dunno about seeker


    - would be nice to survive more than 1 hit, but squishness isn't so much of a minus

    I have found that the squishier a class is, the less I want them to EVER land a hit on me b:surrender they hurt b:sad


    - and I know this is personal, but I want interesting, not boring class (I don't wanna do Click -> wait wait wait -> choose another target -> click...)

    Thanks in advance!
