CLASS FOR BEGİNNERS

[wildwindblows]

Hi ,
I've just started this game so i don't know anything about this game. Which class should i pick? i'm starting this question. I played choppa a few hours and i died a lot in scenarios. Which class is the best for beginners like me ?

thanks for answers.

Chosen/Kotbs

[TenTonHammer]

KOTBS/CHOSEN

Dps AM/Shadow warrior

All 4 of those classes "low skill" to help ease you into the game



Choppa is a difficult class to play well, managing your rage, knowing when to go in, run red etc are all things that require good gamesense, that's most new players won't have, additionally the class requires a group to reach it's full potential

[dansari]

Absolutely. If you want linear, straightforward play, go for a chosen or any ranged dps class. Magus might be a solid choice to start out because you can easily solo pve.

For beginners Kotbs and Chosen are nice because their class mechanic is passive, so you can focus on other things while playing. Just pop the auras, and do your job as a tank.

DPS AM and DPS Shaman are godlike in Tier 1, and still really viable in midtier. In Tier 4 they are very gear dependant classes.

Shadow Warrior is a decent option, but just like the Marauder you have to switch stances to get the most of the class. Squig Herder is easier in that way, but it requires some pet management.

Engie and magus are easy too, but any Ranged DPS is a good choice.

Stay away from Melee DPS until you know the game a lot better.

It's an incredibly easy game with very little in the way of competition/hard-core players.

Play whatever you like. Just don't be one of those weird people who insist on avoiding everyone or never playing in a group.

I don´t think that a tank-class (like Chosen or Knight) is a good pick for a beginner, because of guard management.

choose a range-dps (BW/Sorc or SW/SH. Magus and Engi are a bit more difficult) or a WH/WE.

and peterthepan3 is right. While the base-game is somewhat difficult because of the mediocre ( ) UI, a plethora of addons give you the option to adjust the difficulty according to your wishes/skills.

perhabs stay away from Iron Breaker / Black Guard cause many skills / and buttons and a mechanic to manage on top. But even a new player can grow into this class, and if you go full defensive, you have much room for mistakes and you can inspect what other / enemy classes can do / how they behave in combat.

So choose what you think sounds cool.

choppa is pretty meh when unsupported. perhabs bring some friends?

kotb/chosen very easy
SW, shaman, AM, tolerable
mdps like Mara, WL, good but requires some experience to flourish
rdps careers require positional awareness, and other tanks require more skill to master them than kotb/chosen do, and the rest of the mdps can be quite challenging, whereas healing careers requires good skills at staying alive and strong will to live. pet classes are somewhat bad choices for total newbies, so maybe avoid Squig, magus, engi and even WL.

order perspective
1 tank Knight (get enemy addon for guard then slice trough, focus mending, banishment and encourage aim or DT and play like you want-> SM (preaty simple rotation) -> IB (a lot of skills to manage)

2 Healers RP (pretty easy GG + cleanse + dot - repeat) or WP (stack defense and spam aoe heal + melee option avialable in higher tier and with BIS) -> AM (ab mode is powerful but need skill to keep balance up, i think)

3 DPS [hmm generally avoid or chose one with large self sustain) avoid BW or Slay, Wh is pretty weak (i think far weaker than WE) atm, if you dont have experience and bis equipment] so i will point toward Engi or WL -> SW (needs good positioning)
