Return of Reckoning

Hi everyone!

Lately I've been feeling the itch to play WAR again. I really liked the feel of it, and especially the RvR. I never reached end level in the original game, but I still had fun just leveling and doing the T1-3 RvR. So, when I found that some people brought back WAR, I thought I've gotta try this out again. Big thanks to the devs btw, you guys sound awesome!

So, I've got the game ready, but now I can't pick a career to play! They all sound so cool, except maybe White Lions (sorry White Lion players! ) Does anyone have personal recommendations on a career to play? Maybe one that has an interesting playstyle or cool looking abilities? I played a KotBS before, but I don't think I was playing him right.

Also, how's the faction balance, does one side need more help than the other? Any roles especially needed? These may factor into my decision.

P.S.
How's the server's pop doing? Should I expect to not see another player until I reach a certain rank?

You'll see people all the time, and the first RvR area usually has a couple dozen people going back and forth. Don't forget to queue for the PvP Scenarios for some quick action as well.

Faction balance is always a tricky question. Ask either side and they'll tell you a different story.

Thanks for the reply. That's good to hear about the population. Looks like the factions are pretty balanced then? That's also good, though also makes choosing a career harder.

Just play what interests you the most tbh.

Yeah, we can all throw recommendations that suit our tastes at you all day long, but in the end, it's helpful to figure out which faction/role/race you want to be. Your first character may not become your main either, it's good to play around with different classes. Have fun with it!

You guys aren't helping at all.

But you're probably right, i'll just try some out first.

Thanks for the replies!

Fair enough.

I guess I've always enjoyed ranged dps/support. The problem I have is all the classes sound interesting. Like the others said, I'm best off just trying some of them.

Also, are the dps specs for the tank/healer classes viable? Or, should I just pick a pure dps class if I want to do damage mainly?

You wont be a full dps but it can work.

healer dps spec is viable to the extent of small group (duo/trio) roaming, tank dps 2H spec in pretty much every case bar perhaps swordmaster/ironbreaker inferior to SnB dps spec
