Hey everyone I decided to make a new character but am concerned about my ping. I get an average ping of 130-110ms. My question is what classes would I be able to play without being hindered due to my ping. Thanks in advance!

I have never had lower than 150 ping at any point and play plenty of melee, every class works fine in that realm IMO. When I'm rocking 300-550+ I log my choosen, only class I can get assists with while laggin out thx to damage auras and spammy aoe from Rending Blade.

Cool thanks for the feedback man. Just wanted to make sure It wouldn’t hinder me from trying other classes

Basically any kind of Tank, but yeah, preferable Chosen/Kotbs because of auras, but bear in mind that both of these classes will get rework very soon, and it may change play style of that class.
Avoid SM/BO because their class mechanic (balance dance) rely on good connection.
If you still would like to play any kind of DPS then i would advice only 2, Engi or Magus, specially Magus Tanky version is pretty much unkillable in 1v1 scenario.

Marauder. Just spec defensive and spam aoe. You'll still be stronger than most classes.

High ping on tank? How can you reliably swap guards?
Magus, SH or Engi seems ok for high ping...

That isn't high ping. Any class at those numbers should perform well.

Like 50% of tanks with good ping even use guard, lól.
