New Order Player

Hey all. I am a NA Order player looking to join the game. I have wanted to return to this game for so long. Does Order have a lack of any class I should be?

Hi there! This question gets asked a lot, but it's pretty much the same answer every time... Play what you enjoy! If you're a healer or a tank, you can find a group most of the time as there is a plethora of DPS on both realms. A quick overview of the basics on some key order classes:

Tanks: best overall tank is knight by far. SM brings the best damage, IB is complex but deadly in the right hands.

Healers: WP/RP are best at the moment. It's super easy to solo level as a WP, whereas RP has a slow time soloing. AM is OK but has less mobility and defense as the other two.

Melee DPS: easiest and most deadly 1v1 is probably WL, but you're maybe one of the worst classes to bring to a warband. Slayers and WH are tough to play well but can dish a lot of damage. WH more solo capable than Slayer.

Ranged dps: best mobility is SW with great consistent damage. Best burst damage is BW. Engy is a little more complex and less capable than the other two in terms of damage and mobility, but a good magnet engy is sought after for warband play.

Play around with some of them or all of them, but most importantly play what you enjoy.

Play whatever you think looks the coolest. Also it doesn't hurt to level up 2 archetypes, that way when you fall into a regular group of people you play with you have the option and ability to bring whatever missing element is needed in order to build a balanced 6man.
