Class popularity

Currently in the game, is there a good balance of class popularity (obviously mainly when it comes to grouping, or perhaps for TW), or are there any classes you think could be discouraged for new players to pick because there is an overabundance of them?

On the other hand, are there any classes that are usually on demand? Specifically, is there a need for more tanks and/or healers? Or maybe a need for more Barbs and/or Clerics in particular...?

    So there is an abundance of sins only because of how overpowered they r so dont b a noob and b oneb:shocked on the other hand clerics are constantly needed not so much tanks cuz sins can pretty much solo everything but clerics are constantly being asked forb:victory

    Its great that your asking this question but I would say to try out the classes first and see what you enjoy playing and not to pick something because of what others want. play for the fun of it. because otherwise you may decide you don't like playing a cleric for example and then have to redo everything over. hope this is helpful for you :)

    Venomancer
    Cleric
    Archer
    Seeker
    Mystic
    Psychic
    Wizard

    For heavens tear i probably would have swapped barbs and archers. But the rest would sum up HT.

    Thank you for all the answers. b:thanks

    If anybody's curious, I've decided to start with Mystic! If I don't like it for some reason, I'll just pick something else, but I think I'll like it. Later on I'll probably try something else in any case. I can't play just one! b:chuckle

    Wizzard last ? :(

    Playing my wizzard mostly with a BM friend and im definately very happy with my wizzie. The BM is just there to look at me killing stuff before he can touch it. Oh and to have his assed saved by my healing spell now and then....

    I guess maybe high level or pvp, it might become clear why people dislike it ?......

    The reason why Wizards are so unpopular is that most people that roll them never actually end up making it end game with their character, thus not realizing their true potential.

    no its because before we get end game, we realize no one wants us for pve, therefore farming sucks, and we need insane gear to even pretend to matter in pvp.

    for wizzies this is correct, wizzies are awzm DPH and awzm in pvp especially group pvp. But they require some REALLY good gears to actually survive or be wanted, its a really pricy class.

    Here is how it is in Archosaur in my opinion
    Best to Last

    Assasin (sin): nice quite OP if u ask me pretty weak at the beginning though.....

    Blademasters (BM) : nice they can get to 5 aps but the only thing they are separated from sins are the fact that they cant stealth.

    Barbarians (Barbs or kittys): The real tank in the game and they heal pretty quick.

    Mystics (myst)/ Psychics( Psy): Well i dont know about this two but if u ask me psychic is more used but nowadays most ppl use mystics though because they can heal. But psys haf fast channel though.

    Venomancers (veno) : Once known as the most OP class to walk pwi however due to recent nerfing they are not that good but some ppl still use em for old times sake.

    Seekers: yep they are really good. They are the game Plvlers and they haf there PRO Vortex skill they are good. But not the best though.

    Cleric: Most of the times they are alts and are used as shop chars dont know why though.

    Archers: hmm not bad just try to stay out of range

    Wizard: well..... yeah cant actually say anything about this but... i made one but i just dont feel like playing it. It is more like class which is for some reason not popular. If u want to be a mag class id say pick either myst or psys. but this kinda ruins it cause Wiz is the only class that can use Fire and Earth spells. (yeah those two elements are quite extinct if u ask me).
