Warhammer Online private server (Return of Reckoning)

[Maculo]

I going to try and download it today.

I do not know what class I want to try first. They all look interesting.

 

[SmartCheetah]

I might try to play with you guys as well in a few days, but never played this game before. Undecided about class

 

[Mangoose]

Okay you guys will need to decide on a faction. Order or Destruction. Ed has the patience to play two characters, I don't lol.

elves a shit

But Elves have some of the most interesting class mechanics. Swordmaster = Blorc combos. Archmage = Shaman balancing between damage and healing (I played a Zealot before, it wasn't fun so I doubt the . White Lion is okay. And I have no idea if stance dancing is involved with Shadow Warriors.

Kinda like how I find Orcs have more fun classes than the other Destro. Dark Elves are so underpowered lol, the Disciple doesn't compared to the WP, the Witch Elf is from what I heard even harder to survive in RvR, the Sorc.. well... clearly classed by the Bright Wizards.

You know, I never figured out why it was so hard to balance BW with Sorcerers. They're the most mirror of classes.

Edit: But Archmages are pretty faggy looking. White Lions are okay because they're like Leeroy Jenkins.

Yeah but other Order race classes are mostly borin.* Besides maybe Ironbreaker. Warrior Priest is like micromanagement from hell.

Witch Hunter doesn't count because you're dead before u get bored.

*That's why I played Destro way back then. Mah two guys were a Squig Herder and a Shaman.

Why do I have to apologize for a correct statement?

 

[Mangoose]

Ah, I see you're liking the Shaman.

 

[flabbyjack]

I tried it, had a little trouble finding my around using the maps. Now I'm playing FFXIV instead :/

 

[Hobo Elf]

Magus was such a well designed class.

[Kaldurenik]

So what faction and what spellcaster should one play :D?

 

[A horse of course]

You can be my healslut

 

[Kaldurenik]

Well i don't know anything about any of the classes i do want to play a spellcaster, not sure what faction yet.

 

[Maculo]

My download is at 70%. I have to go to work briefly to finish off a few items, but I will likely get a chance to play today.

What are the healing classes like?

 

[A horse of course]

I don't know anything about classes

I think this is the first time I've had a 1v1 duel with another player in the entire time I've played WAR. Two tanks krumping each other in the face for three minutes over an utterly pointless battlefield objective in an area over which absolutely noone was fighting. But it felt pretty good all the same. I like to think this old dwarf's failure led him to shave his beard and take the slayer oath

Don't worry about faction. The classes are for the most part mirrors for each faction: role-wise and mechanics-wise with exceptions. (Andexcluding balance)

So

Tanks:
Swordmaster = Black Guard => "Combo" mechanic (opening attack, middle attack, finisher)
Knight of the Burning Sun = Chosen => Uses auras.
Ironbreakers = Black Guards => "Grudge"/"Hate" system, like WoW's Warrior's "Rage." Both classes gain on their Grudge or meters when they are hit. However, Ironbreakers also gain Grudge if someone hurts their defensive target (you can target and "Guard" a friendly player). On the other hand, Black Guards are more simple and gain "Hate" by attacking.

Melee Deeps:
Witch Hunter = Witch Elf => Can stealth but it only lasts something like 20 seconds, has no survivability, but can assassinate the crap out of almost anything non-tanky.
White Lions = Marauders => "Medium" infantry in role, mechanics don't really mirror though. White Lions use a pet (mirroring the Squig Herder) and Marauders have multiple stances (mirroring the Shadow Warrior).
Slayers = Choppa => Build up angerness (Berserk/Frenzy), then either you go super berserk which makes you kamikaze, or you can keep it "under control" and be "regular" melee guy.

Healers (or Support):
Warrior Priests = Disciples of Khaine => Well armored melee hybrids that build up healing energy by smacking people, which then lets you heal.
Rune Priests = Zealots => Healers/buffers/debuffers/dps support.
Archmages = Shamans => Mechanic that makes causing damage increase their healing power and vice versa. However can use talent trees to focus on healing, deeps, or hybrid mechanic.

Ranged Deeps:
Shadow Warriors = Squig Herders => Skirmisher archer role. Mobile and survivable. However, as above, mechanics differences.
Engineer = Magus => Turrety classes. Good damage, good survivability, but not very mobile.
Bright Wizards = Sorcerers => Glass cannon major deeps.

In other words just pick a faction so I can make my damn character.

The Ironbreaker had no one to build Grudge from. Sucks to realize it took you 3 minutes to beat a cripple.
