Hello everyone,
I made that thread for newbies that have problems choosing their character. I searched every thread in Class discussion, and i saw no one made a thread help people make a decision.
Since i played all classes in pwi i decided to make an effort.
Ok...Ok...Ok enough talking...

1. Small description on pwi characters:

Untamed:
Barbarian- His main weapons are axes and poles. The disadvantage on that class is that it is only male.
Venomancer- Her main weapons are patakas/glaives. Its a caster class. People prefer that class because they can solo easier things because of her pets. The disadvantage of that class is that it is only female.

Elves:
Archer- Their main weapons are bows. They have long range skills and a variety of AOES.
Cleric- Their main weapons are magic swords/glaives/wands/patakas. It is a caster class with strong skills and usefull heals/buffs.

Humans:
BladeMaster- This class has a big variety of weapons. They can use 4 different weapons: Axes/Poles, Swords/Dual swords, Fists/Claws, Poleblades. They have a huge variety of skills for different play styles.
Wizard- Thats the main caster class in game. Many know wizards as mages. As every caster class they can use Magic weapons( magic swords/glaives/wands/patakas).

Tideborns:
Assassin: This class is well-known to everyone. Their main weapons are daggers. Also their benefit is that they are able to stealth.
Physic: This class is another pwi caster class. However their weapons are special. Every caster class is using Magic weapons(magic swords/glaives/wands/patakas), however physics are using Soulspheres.

Earth Guards:
Seeker: This class is known as warriors in other games. They are using swords/dual swords/blades/dual blades.
Mystic: This class is the last pwi caster class. They use magic weapons(magic swords/glaives/wands/patakas).

Perfect World Characters:
Pwi is a team game. A tank always need the healer and the damage dealer and the opposite. Here i will describe you what is the role of each class.

Barbarian: They are the main tankers in game. They have high hp/Physical defence but as every tank their damage is medium-medium. Every squad needs them because of their tank abilities.
Why to choose a barbarian?
-People choose barbarian because they are needed in squads. Also barbarians are responsibe for everyone in a squad. He is supposed to keep aggro from the damage dealers and take all the damage.
Barbarians in PvP.
-Barbarians in low levels are not the best PvPers. However on high levels barbarians can make their enemies suffer.

Venomancer: This is a caster class. Their high magical defence make them really good against magic bosses/monsters. Also venomancers can have pets. Pets benefit venomancers because of their high physical defence. Thas make a venomancer able to solo many bosses/instances/monster. Also venomancers have a really usefull debuff. That makes them needed in squads especially on high levels.
However venomancers are only females.
-Can venomancer's pets replace a barbarian?
The answer is no. Venomancer pets are made to help them in several situations but they cant replace a barbarian.
Venomancers in PvP.
-Venomancers and every caster cass is very strong on PvPs.
Why?
-Because venomancers have a variety of pets that helps them in several situations. One reason of using pets is to win ur opponent on duels.
Legendary pets:
Venomancers have the opportunity to have 2 awesome pets. Hercules and Phoenix.
Hercules is a strong pet with high hp/physical defence. Hercules is the best pdef pet in game. Venomancers usually use hercules for PvE
Phoenix is a strong pet with high damage. However their physical defence is lower than hercules. Venomancers usually use phoenix for PvP.

Archer: Archers are common to everyone. They use bows. Their skills are long range and they contain some of the best aoes in game. They are needed in squads because of their strong AOES. People usually choose archers because their long range skills make them stronger and faster.
Archers in PvP.
-Archers are one of the strongest class in PvP.
Why?
-Because their long range skills makes them able to attack from distance and their massive damage kill the enemies fast.
TIP: Archers have a drawback. If they are too close to the target their damage is lower. So you should be quite far from the target in order to deal massive damage.

Cleric: Cleric is the main healer in game. Their heals are the strongest in game. Every squad needs them because of their healing ablities. Also clerics own some of the best buffs in game. Clerics also own some of the strongest skills. However squad dont want them for their damage but for their healing ablities. Sometimes clerics may be boring because their main role is heal.
Clerics in PvP.
-Clerics on low levels may seems to be weak. However on higher levels they are MURDERERS that you must be afraid. In PvP clerics combine their healing ablities,buffs and damage dealing skills.

BladeMaster: Blademasters are able to use a variety of weapons, depending on your play style. Blademasters also have a variety of builds. The most common build is axe/fist build. Usually they combine both.
Axe build: they are using axes because they own one of the strongest aoe skill.
This skill combine massive damage+ debuff and that makes it special. This skill is onoly available in axe build.
Fist/Claw build: They prefer that build because their are able to attack with APS(attack per second). That makes them massive dds with fast hits and able to use fast their aoe.
Blademasters in PvP.
-Their stuns makes them really strong. Also their axe+fist build makes them use a lot more skills than other classes. With axe they can use some of their strongest skills and with fists they are able to attack fast.

Wizard: Wizards is one of the strongest class in game. They are massive damage dealers with STRONG aoes. They are needed in most squads. Wizards use magic weapons.
Why choosing a wizard?
-People usually love wizards because of their strong aoe and their long range skills.
As every caster class they have strong skills+long range skills.
REMEMBER: wizards have HUGE channeling, however you can counteract that with -channeling ornaments.
Wizards in duels:
Their low hp makes them quiet weak however if you know good the class then you are MURDERER. Wizards are efficient in PvP because they have a stun and that makes the target unable to move/use skills/use hits.

    Assassin: Assassn is a common class to everyone. They use daggers. They combine their strong hits+ aps(attack per second) to deal massive damage and make them needed in most squads. Assassins are able to stealth and that makes them unique because they can solo many instances faster than everyone. However the game is full of them so you might find harder squads.
    Assassins in PvP.
    As in all games, and here assassins are murderers. They combine their stealth+stun to defeat their opponent in a fast way.

    Physic: Physic is a strong caster class. Their unique weapons and skills make them strong in several situations. People prefer physic because they have massive damage.
    Physic in PvP.
    Their freezing skill+huge damage makes them unique however never forget its a caster class so their hp is low. That means you should kill your opponent as fast as you can.

    Seeker: Seeker is a unique aoe class. Their aoes are the strongest in the game and that makes them needed in all instances that require aoe damage.
    Remember playing a seeker is something like playing a caster class because they are skill SPAMMERS however they use Heavy armor. Their skills makes them able to tank however they cannot replace a barbarian.
    Seekers in PvP.
    Their freeze and their high hp/pdef makes them murderers. They have long range skills and that makes them attack to the target from distance

    Mystic: Mystic is jack of all trades. They combine damage dealing+summons+healing ablities able to replace people. However dont forget they are not that strong in healing duties as a cleric and the same on dd as sin and the same on summons are venomancer.
    Mystics on duels.
    Murderers. However they have low hp their long range skills+stun+freeze+summon+heal makes them unique and everyone have hard time defeating them.

    To sum up, i wish my quide have helped you a lot to make a decision. Please vote to my Poll.
    Also if anyone have any corrections please dont hesitate to tell them.

    Thanks everyone.

    You said in all cases about PvP only.

    But ... how many PvP players at PvE servers ?

    Do you know, that at PvE instances Wizard sometimes can't cast spell because mob can be killed by APS squad member very fast ?

    What was your comparison of classes, attacking PvE boss ?

    -Venomancers and every caster cass can be very strong in PvP.

    -Because venomancers have a variety of pets that helps them in several situations. One reason of using pets is to Assist killing your opponent on duels.

    In PWIWiki about every class you can read may be at http://pwi-wiki.perfectworld.com/ :

    Example about Wizards:
    Wizards are the ranged magical damage dealer class. Wizards enter the game relatively weak compared to other classes, and as they gain levels and skills, their performance improves dramatically. Wizards control three types of magic, of which they have damage and shields for. The fire path is the AoE (Area of Effect) path that also has a knockback skill and the only physical damage skill wizards have. The water path has buffs and three damage skills that can slow the enemy down. And last there's the earth path which has debuff and stun skills.

    Wizard in PvE

    Wizards level up quickly because their skills hit hard and leave mobs dead after just three or four hits. In fact only venomancers can say they level up faster then wizards. This is because wizards tend to die a lot more from not having a pet to tank for them, and they have a very hard time killing archer and increased magical resistance mobs. A wizard can be good to have in a squad because they have high damage output and AoE skills.

    Wizard in PvP

    This is where wizards struggle for most of the game. It's a combination of long channel skills, weak damage, and not enough defense that makes them so bad PvPers early on. The best thing to do is to stand behind a melee class a hit the enemy, or simply sneak up on the enemy. But it's really at the high levels that wizards step into PvP territory and become a force to be reckoned with. This is because their skills are higher level, and because high level armor have much higher '-% channeling' bonuses. It's even possible for wizards to one shot some classes. Unlike archers, the wizard will be killing all the Strength-based classes like barbarians, blademasters, and archers.

    magicsabre in PWIwiki i have seen it too but i wrote that guide because not every class is good described there. By the way on venos i love glaives and magic swords. and on all casters the same, however i had to refer that they can use all 4.

    To sum up i respect everyones comment and thanks for the corretions. And about the physic i never thought it was written psychic.

    Thanks anyway.
    I wish i helped some people because in every character forum(in class discusion) they ask what should i play and blah...blah

    1st: OFC he can keep aggro.
    2nd: You made a good effort HOWEVER you should have made it a little bit colored to be easier viewed. Also after you described each class you should have added some more things. Such as advice on people who like fast attack speed or aoes or long range skills or being supporter in a squad or like to be responsible for everything there such us mobs and blah...blah...

    I admire your attempt in this, and its a very good idea. I would recommend working on the spelling and grammar, as well as to give some more details about each class.

    Also, veno's are versatile in terms of armor that they can wear, and still get away with, so that and each one of those types of veno may be worth mentioning as well.

    Also, it may be a good idea to use the color formatted version that Lynzeya posted in order to give the guide the ability to captivate the reader more.

    Good guide, but I'd recommend editing it some, and adding a little bit more meat to it.
    "Male Player using female toon. Please don't flirt with me."

    Need to see the cleric guide for questions, comments, or concerns? Just copy and paste the link.

    I agree with loek, you did not fail in fact you did great, its just a shame that what they picked apart was something more than they ever did. Don't stop trying to help, people like you are great to be around :) let the haters hate, until they produce something better their opinions don't matter...
