Like the title states, what class would you pick to fill a 80 person roster for a TW if you had to choose one. Oh, and R9 cannot be used by any of the classes, since R9 makes one class an obvious answer. I would personally pick all Barbs, because it would be hard to kill them, extremely confusing looking at all the animals with their stripes, and it would be something staight out of Jumanjib:chuckle

    R9 doesn't make any class the obvious answer, +10/12 refines does.

    Good point, psychics soulforce is based on refine. On the other hand, I would much rather fight a +10 refine nonR9 psy compared to one that is R9 +10.

    You can make that argument about any class class tho. I can't think of a way to make it not biased for psychic.

    Either way, I would still bring my psychic. More survivability than a wizard with cheaper/faster aoe's. That is fun.

    BM
    A good balance between tankiness and damage, with massive AoEs. Versatile, so they can be used in many situations.

    I would say you can't make that argument about every class because every class does not have skills based on soulforce.

    80 stealthed sins would own in TW but I choose wiz because a good wizard is hard to kill. And 80 of them could still destroy barbs.

    A full roster of 1 class would never work as honestly without having buffs from other classes no class could stand alone in TW and expect to win.

    For example barbs lacking EP buffs are extremely vunerable to mages (-120% fire defence FTW which puts you at less than 100 mdef on the barb meaning pyrogram hits more than 10k with a +12 rank8 without critting).

    Most Arcanes lacking bramble are an easy target for sins (the main reason sins are almost useless in TW is brambles reflect giving people an easy out for killing the sin)

    Barb buffs are pretty much essential for psys (silence buff doesnt help if you get 1 hit by archers).

    Pretty much all you will find is that by picking all of 1 class you give yourself 1 strength and many weaknesses, this is why guilds with a good balance of all classes do the best in TWs, by balance I dont mean equal numbers of each class, but merely enough of each class to get the benefits without leaving a gap that can be exploited by your opponents.

    That's not what the OP is asking, he's asking which would you pick? If nothing, that's it move along.

    The myth that 80 stealthed sins would own in TW has already been disproven :o

    As for me, I'd pick archer. My favorite class duh :p

    kinda lol why bm's got that low vote, since they are once of the best, coz could do tank from them or aoe king too (depend on gear and build) and the most important when in 1 team have 2-3 bm is awasome aoe stun lock with their anti stun skill.

    I'd choose wizard

    Who's going to beat us?

    Bms? lol yeah right

    Barbs? Not really. You might be hard to kill, but from your lack of aoes you'll have to take wizzies out one at a time, whereas 3-4 wizzies focusing ultimates on one pack of barbs could wipe out a whole squad.

    Archers? They come the closest, but ultimately I feel that a wzzies phys def > archers mag def. That and our aoes are better. BoA is good, but lets not even pretend it's anything like a wizards ultimates.

    Venos? Blade Tempest. That is all.

    Clerics? See above.

    Psychics? Wipe out the ones that put on black voodoo, undine>sutra the ones in white

    Assassins? Only one has to come out of stealth for us to launch an ultimate and hit all the others in stealth, ijs.

    Seekers? HA and almost no control skills won't last long against us.

    Mystics? Lack of control skills. Not much to defend against the likes of blade tempest, and their pets aren't especially powerful (except crag, but that's 20 seconds...)

    No one said psy b:shocked

    +12 full JoSD Psy x 80 b:cry

    Wizzy: Psys are better at pvp especially because of Soulforce and faster channels (would eb fairly even though)

    BM: hahahhaaa this would be slaughter

    Archer: This could be close but the psy would probably be more survivable and take out archers faster

    Cleric: same as BM

    Sin: *watches them kill themselves*

    Mystic: IDK much about them, but psy's seem more OP

    Seeker: same as bm

    I'd pick barbs.

    20 to replace each other constantly pulling catas.

    20 to spam untamed wrath or demon frighten.

    20 to spam arma.

    20 to spam sage roar or lick their own nuts if their are no mage enemy.

    Yes you can. That argument was for r8/NV vs r9. Each class has comparable r9 armor, so making this upgrade is equal. The reason why Psychics get OP is because of +11/12 refines which give u 5xk soulforce. In theory you COULD put that on NV gear (which someone might have done before r9 was released for them). Then a +12 NV PSY would beat a +12 NV BM or anything else. It's not r9 that makes PSY OP, its refines. It's just that it costs so much to refine to +12 that nobody does it until they get r9.

    I chose Archer. With the experience I have with them, I would much rather play them. Archers pwn in TW..ijs..

    I wanted to choose sin because mine 98, but there are just way to many people playing them.
