New player asking about state of the server

[Achilleos]

Alright thanks for the detailed reply!

I understand your point out of the healers perspective, but why is a witch elf limiting me? I mean I definitely will join up with a guild sooner or later and I don’t mind pugging either;)

WH and WE are kind of the odd one out in the entire cast. They are more a solo roamer than any other and don't really find a place within group or warband compositions. Their role just doesn't cope with teamplay that much. And that could make the RvR experience in a group or warband rather lackluster.

For large scale WH/WE do not have a place per say... its really niche (already alot of higher level WE/WH's better geared too) DPS slots are limited, guards and heals are limited...

WH/WE is toward the bottom of the food chain in large scale, and towards the top in solo...
one of the problems you might find is if everyone is running together (especially during primetime EU) your ganking options will be

very limited... now if you was playing off peak times where the numbers are lower and roaming is more viable then you have better odds for ganking (still can do it in primetime, just need patience/map knowledge/experience)

Most guilds probally already have WE's or won't be looking for them that much... but I am sure the iron pact Dark Elf guild being the general exception if you was dead set on WE

As has been mentioned, you don't have a place in large scale. To do well in 6-man you have to pretty much be the best WE on the server, which leaves soloing. Soloing is more the road to endgame than the actual endgmae, so you will get the gear and renown, but after that you don't really belong anywhere.

thank you so so much for the awesome feedback!!

Now my last worry is that I am reading many times on the Forum that the order is getting outnumbered super hard, and I am scared to find a guild as a newbie.

But anyway I set my eyes on either a warrior priest a knight of the blazing sun or a shadow warrior! I guess I am going to try all of them for a bit before setting for one!

At which lvl do you say will I have a “somewhat of a feel” for a class?

[Wam]

Both sides whine about numbers, its back and forth... Certain times of the day one side might have the ascendency but it varies from day to day hour to hour to be honest... its pretty hard to balance with alot of variables (time zone being big factor) so you should aim for class you enjoy and group you enjoy to be honest. I think Destro sometimes edges primetime EU but not always, and order edges off peak.

A feel for the class depends on the class (certain synergies... like WP/DOK pre 20 is rough and can barely heal compared to zealot/shaman in t1 if people just went by numbers at end of SC's etc)

at lvl 11 you get one tactic...and eventually at 40 you get your fourth tactic slot...

then mastery points and build... (which can unlock certain tactics or special skills that make your build click)

so if you have never played a class before then generally i would say Rank 40/renown rank 40... when you get a feel for the class
Although if you are famiilar with ROR/veteran then you get a feel alot sooner the direction its heading...

Also gear, ruin on some classes is just filler/not so good... need Anni gear for some classes (or mercenary/beastlord+) before you get a better feel for the class

like mechanically if you play a zealot early on, you will flash of chaos spam and hot...
eventually you will change into aoe heal/hot/ritual/marks

If you play a WH/WE, or a non-standard spec (meaning a DPS 'healer' such as warrior priest), then you will not enjoy the server. I haven't. Guild will not accept you and premades will, in general, want nothing to do with you.

I will just say Welcome aboard, if you choose Destro side, well... but if you choose Order, Hello friend.

Thank you, yes I VERY positive that I will roll order

If you are looking for destro guild I would recommend Iron Pact Alliance (mix of elf/gs/chaos guilds)

avoid roleplayers like fire
