New to the game, need some help

try out all classes and pick whatever one you like the most.

Of the classes ive played the Assassin is by far the easiest. I had alot of trouble with my others and was always needing help from others for various quests and bosses. The sin is really good at soloing just about everything, they can stealth away in any sight of trouble, teleport in and out of situations, the are excellent at PVP, great money makers, and are probably the best at endgame. The only downside is everyone is playing one now. Now I hear a new batch of skills is coming out to make the others classes a bit more playable but currently its the best one out their by far.

I will mostly be on a PvE server, but have one character on a PvP server. I want a character
I can solo with that will do good damage and take hits but will also do great in a team. I don't really know what I want for a PvP, I don't know how the territory wars are and stuff. I basically wanna survive in PvP I have always sucked at it.

P.S. What is the Best East US PvE server and best East US PvP Server?

Regarding PvE:

Solo, with decent damage: Venomancer, and blademaster are the top two that stick out in my head. Blademaster has good damage, and powerful defenses. Venomancers have pets to help them, so that helps them to solo easier.

Personally, I've always been able to get by on my cleric as well, due to her ability to heal. That's part of why she's my main character.

Assasins will bloom late, but they will be able to solo later on. Still, this class isn't for everyone because they are pretty squishy at early to mid levels.

Mystics can also heal, attack with summons, and plants. However, they use the most mp as well.

Squad based: Clerics are almost always wanted.

Barbarians are very much wanted.

Assasins are wanted for most endgame instances

Blademasters can normally find squads.

Veno's aren't normally searched for all that much.

That said, I would go for a blademaster, a veno, a cleric, or a mystic.

The others are good too, but those are the 4 that I like the best for solo and squad based capabilities that can survive. Of those 4, I will warn you that clerics are the most squishy, since they don't have high defenses, or pets to help them along. However, they also have strong heals, buffs, and defensive shields, so its not all bad.

Regarding pvp, if you plan to put a lot of coin in this game...then roll a psychic.

Pvp: Psychic, and assasin are the top two here. Even to the point of being overpowered. Other classes can perform well also. Hate to say it, but a great deal is dependent on gear. Aside from that, you should also know that in both pve and pvp, some classes shine later than others. So what may be difficult early on may be much easier later.

Territory war: Archers and wizards are the known kings of TW.

PvE server East: I chose dreamweaver personally, but that's me. I haven't found much problem there.

PvP server East: I have admittingly never pvp'ed. ( I don't like the idea that my items can drop if I die...or that I'd have to use safety lock or some other means to keep my items safe, so that said...IDK, but I'm sure someone else here does. One is east cost, and the other west coast. I don't remember which is which, and don't want to mislead you.

Hope this information helps you. Take care and good luck with your characters. (You can create up to 8 on one account, so have fun and experiment, and choose the one that works best for you.) b:laughb:victory

Alright. So do you think a Psy would do good in PvE without cash shop? I've read they have low HP.

Yes. They do have low hp, and pdef, but they also have skills to help amend that, and later on, when you start sharding armor/weapons and refining them (Around level 70 normally), then your hp and pdef will increase, and won't be as big of a problem as it will in lower levels.

Just play any class u prefer or what u think is cool. Don't join the band wagon and make a class u don't like just cuz they can 'farm'. Making money and gear is easier for some classes but not so easy for others. Don't make a character just cuz they can solo things in the end.
Any1 can join TT squads as DDer in most cases or u can start TT squads urself. Or join a faction that does TT runs. Me and some others in my faction have been helping my friend(same faction) alot helping her to get TT 80 gear for her seeker.

Even when u don't need TT gear u can still help your friend with TTruns. U can sell the extra mats u get; also fairy boxes mean money. Apart from that depending on ur level range u can grind and sell mats which drop from mobs or those mats that need to be mined; people buy them alot. Or u can just do business. At 100 u can tag along with other friends and do nirvana (mostly exclusive to casters). Either way the methods of making money without being a credit card ninja are many.

at 80-90 FC lvling might get slow for some classes due to the general populations knowledge about class powers and depending on other squad members. Psychic's, Mysts, Venos, Archers are frequently ignored classes in FC because of their squishiness and what the general populous think of as (useless), people wud go like 'hey there's a psy looking for FC in our range'.....'Nah let's wait a bit and get another sin" or "My seeker friend will be free in 15 minutes".

To get into FC squads,get in a good faction that has people in ur level range willing to do FC with you. Another part is, u have to make sure that the squad suits ur class. Most of the time u won't be having the 'dream squad' so u'll hv to adapt to doing ur job under different conditions. If u're in a squad without a seeker, make sure that there is a BM and a good one too (maxed aoe skills with good axe and that knows how to play BM). Don't try to steal aggro from him and u'll be fine. But meh that's high lvl stuff xD, 1'st u need to get to 80 (takes 1-2 months).

while others hv given u a brief info regarding the classes. Lemme give u some of my own tips.

1) 1-40 just do quests faithfully. They're long and can be boring but, u get used to ur class in those lvls. I plvled a BM to 52 only to find out that i didn't know a thing about how to play it; so i made another one and lvled it up normally upto 40 without mistakes and now the guy is badass.

2) 30+ u can do crazy stone quests everyday which give alot of exp till the 80s. The quest gives is Tu Jo or sm chick in west arch smwhere behind the banker. Do this everyday.

3) 40+ do BH quests daily and preferably with a squad. And by squad i don't mean 5 members in ur lvl range and a 101 5 aps sin who's gonna solo it all for u. I've seen some sad squads that go advertising like 'BH 59 lfm 1spot left for 100+ sin'. They're noobs so don't join those squads.

4) The game is a quest based game. Grinding will take sooo long so don't opt for it, excpet to make money. Just do quests till 80.

5) At lvl 40 do the TB quest chain (which starts at ur race elder). By doing the 6 trials alone u can get from 40 to 45 and make alot of money. Takes maybe an hour or 2 to finish them...lot of travelling tho. The quest chain starts again at lvl 50 and goes on till lvl 66 when u get a platinum HP charm (renamed Tidal Protection) after killing the final boss. Save the charm for when u start doing FC.

6) Join a good helpful faction with a fun community, less drama queens (and kings). And with people who will actually help you with culti bosses.

7) At lvl 30 u get a free permanent flyer a quest which starts from the elder of archosaur i think.


8) If u do get hyper exp stones, don't waste them on grinding. Sometimes people offer free FCC heads in ur level range. When u're bored or something just fly to thousand streams city and talk to the teleporter there to activate the teleport option there. From there fly north and u reach snowy village and near that is forgotten frostland, when u go to do FCC heads. FCC heads are 1 shot mobs which u can kill at 30+ (for mage classes) and 45+ (for melee guys). Use ur hypers for them. Hypers don't work on quests. and always go for x12 for 1 hour. Don't forget to turn them off after use. Don't look for FC heads all the time.Questing is more important for the 1st character in the game.

9)Look up on guides on this forum or on pwpedia or talk to high lvl players of your class and ask them for advice. (advice =/= money).

10) lvl 60 onwards invest in ur TT gear and do some farming on your on. Look for TT squads or make one on ur own. TT weapons start from lvl 60 and TT armor starts from lvl 70. Make sure they're sharded well and refined. And btw u need TT 60 wep to make TT 70 and TT 70 wep to make TT 80 and so on. These weps can be made at the TT forges near general summers or inside TT so u can check what all mats u need. TT90 armor doesn't need TT80 btw, but TT 99 gold armor u need TT 90 gears. Legendary armor and rank armor are very good too. Legendary molds are dropped from bosses or u can buy them from auctioneer. U can farm the mats later on ur own. Rank armor u get at lvls 30,60,90,100 and 101 (the important ones i mean). They're more of a Cash shop armor so only get them during a wraith officer badge sales in the boutique. And they cost alot using ingame coins. But at lvl 100(rank 8) they're the best gear for ur lvl.

11) As a mage don't go pure mag build 1st. Put a bunch of points in vitality for survival. Later on when u got a decent gear at high lvls (100+) u can restat to go full mag.

12) I think the only most important genie skills till 80 are holy path.

13) Get into pk mode at ur own risk. U can drop items if u get killed and may never get them back. Best time to pk is 100+ when most of ur gear is bound. If u do wanna go pk mode earlier, then set ur Safety lock to 1 hour or so then u'll be able to pk safely for an hour without dropping stuff (not 100% guaranteed safe). Redder ur name is, the higher the chance of u dropping smthing valuable after getting killed. During safety lock u can't talk to any npcs for shopping nor can u trade or anything like that. I know a psy who lost all his TT90 gear after getting ganked repeatedly so enter pk mode at ur risk. U can still do safe pvp in theatre of blood events and tournaments or TW and duels.

14) All classes are good with/ without a cash shop. Just pick a class that u fancy and stick with it.


I"m out of other advices to give u xD
It's a wall of text but, i hope u'll find the info here, useful b:pleased

ooh btw
lvl = level Veno= Venomance
TT = Twilight Temple BM = Blademaster
BH = Bounty Hunter Barb= Barbarian
TB = Tide Born Myst = Mystics
Psys= Psychic rep = reputation

I have an alt of every class but my favorite is Psychic. I can kill everything before it even touches me and they have high DPS so questing and grinding is super fast. It depends on what characters you play in other MMOs as to what you'll like here. If you choose classes based on popularity: Assassins are most popular and Barbs are the least popular.

Any chance that going the Psy route without using cash shop could be good pve/pvp?



And you should learn to not judge people before you get to know them. I'm rolling two characters and wanted them to be around the same level. I was gonna roll one till lv 30 then get my second one to lv 30 but wanted it to be a bit faster. I don't care much for being a maxed out character with maxed out gear. I hate the cash shops in a game such as PWI but Im playing it to have fun, cash shops to me are pretty unfair in a game like this. Thats just my opinion thou.

at least cash shop mean you can play 4 free what does the sushi bring to the game nothing but unbalance and aps btches.

never help new or old sushi they are the same.

just as ppl rolll the sushi class some wont help you in anyway.

good luck in ur sushi world

and aps barb have the fist and claw mastery.


hahahahaha

way to kill the class main weapon for some unbalanced weapon


aaah well who care about this sushi class and iff claw is now part of the sushi world

lets make OP bowbarb b:victory


300 str 300 dex b:laugh

barbs have something called poison fang 30% damage increase which is half of a fist mastery + there is beastial onslaught. use it after every spark an u can out dps a bm or be on par with the bm.

what are u gonna use that bowbarb for? killing bosses? does it help at all? =P in pvp the class that use bows use skills, and the barb cant so thats gonna fail epicly.

lastly aps barbs use there claws only on bosses so in all other places and pvp they use axes... i dont see how the main weapon is killed...

P.S. What is the Best East US PvE server and best East US PvP Server?

if your just looking for a super OP class that can level fast, easy play, and withstand anything, you arent gonna get it unless u spend a load in $$ or have some golden merchant fingers.
