Best class for Nw?

Any r9 ranged DD. >__> including well built seekers.

If you are in it for the points, I think Barbs are nice. A well geared barb can dish out damage and take damage. It's win-win.

R9 seekers, especially with JoSD can outlast quite a bit, especially with their metal attack zerking now.

Psys if they have the refines to boost up their soulforce, however, psys can easily get 1 shot as well with their attack voodoo on....so it really depends on who attacks first.

If I had the funds to gear up a character for NW, I'd most likely go with a barb or a seeker (a well-refined r9 or higher, that is). Otherwise, any class is fine except badly geared sins...

I would say Archer is the best one. A good geared competent player is not only guaranteed high kill counts but can also perform as a competent flag carrier. Further, Archers kill fast and from range.

OP, discuss Skill vs gear?

I get same tokens due to skills that r9 people get. So skill wins over gear, over classes.

Agreed to the above.

I think the class is Archer for this.

Holy path>Flag dug>weeeeee alacrity>wee charger orb>flag captured in 30 seconds.

OR.

Tab, press attack, tab, press attack.

It's also easy to kite as an archer > damage taken > more contri.

so wait? archer is the derp class in nw like sin where with aps rofl? b:laugh
(not including archer that can kill me, btu i see lot of archers so fail that i facepalm at them)

and to OP, id say any class that know what to do. gear dont matter if they dont know how to play or do nw correctly

If you want to be the most useful, make an archer and actually use "Elven Alacrity", most dont. I play a psy, and i love it, apsr's get sealed, its ranged, has ranged aoe stun/freeze, and as soon as i can get my hands on the new wep, gg.

The best class is anyone who knows how to play that class to a high level, nuff said.

Imo, it's between archers/psys/wizs and mayb seekers. Pimped out R9 or G16 ofc for each of those classes.

Archers can kill quickly and have the ability to run the flag for quick caps. Psys/wizzys is a given. Strong AOE's and they can just pick on LA/HA players for kills.
Seekers i'm abit iffy on. They can get their points from tanking dmg, but I kinda think they abit slow on killing compared to those other r9's mentioned. But if u get a pimped out seeker, they can tank ppl forever and just slowly pick every1 off.

No love for BMs ? b:sad

All you guys do is stun and HF for others to hit epic damage numbers for forum sigs.

Don't worry, Barbs are only loved for buffs, and sometimes.....flags.

And for friendly reminders in nation chat. b:avoid

I can only speak from my own experiences and say its Psy all the way. I don't play the class I am just speaking from what I've seen.

I would love to see more BMs in NW.
The past few times I've done it it seems like the highest percentage of players are psys or archers. As much as I love the classes, if everyone and their mother is the same two classes, it's kinda..I dunno...lame. And if it does in fact run along the same lines as the Tigers event, lol sucks for them if about 75% of them are the same class.
Seems like people neglect their BMs, earthgaurds, and clerics for it. To me at least. Maybe I just have the luck of every single NW running into the same exact players.

The lack of diversity I see makes me sad though. :<

<----am a reason why clerics get booted from NW in minutes and they rage quit cleric in NW. Only R9 +10 clerics have been impossible for me and that was like 1 or 2. Every other falls instantly or survives a few seconds longer then most and then go poof. You'll get stealth ganked like crazy when you do NW on your cleric, even as a 100..101...102...doesn't matter.

How does this post have anything to do with what the OP asked? This is about with class is best for NW not about stroking your own ego that you can kill little clerics. The fact that people may neglect playing a cleric in NW is not due to you killing them. How about you come have a 1v1 with me and I can show you how rubbish most sins are on DW when it comes to a decent geared opposition. It makes me laugh every time a sin runs up to me or stealth's on me in NW.

Last NW i saw more and more archers in there and it seems that sins are slowly realising this is one place they do not excel and are rolling an archer. I for one love playing cleric in there but it does come down to gear and any high refined caster with R9rr purify weapon will usually excel.

^This, even sins are less played in nw of what I've seen.

Any ranged class that can drop a flag carrier or nuke a group is pretty wanted for NW.

The battle ground itself is filled with lots of obstacles such as trees and rocks.
So makes it a little harder for a melee class to work with but a range can use that to their advantage.

Demon Venomancers are pretty sick flag carriers.
