Well i've decided to leave Alb (sorry guys (hadnt played for a while anyway), and want to roll on Hib.

Never played any realm other than Alb so dont really know where to go, but thats not what im worried about. What i want to know is, which class would be better, Warden, Valewalker or Enchanter? I'll prob. be soloing my way to 50.

Some pros and cons on each class would be welcome.

Wardens....


With this class you will chain mobs all Night Long :+), little Down time and can heal your self, But your damage is weak even if you spec 34+ in slash/blunt, so it will take some work getting to lv 50 just becasue of your damage rate...

RvR, They realy dont shine untill you get TWF3 back that up with Purge2 most Classes Solo will have a hard time beating ya :+) getting into groups is fairly easy from your buffs and resists but if they already have a warden going to need to wait untill he leaves...

Valewalkers.....

This class does Lovly Damage both in Melee and Range, Having a DD life tap helps alot with Down time :+) you might just lv up faster then a solo warden but there is more down time with this alt...

RvR, get some anti CC :+) and you will do fine, having the best of 2 worlds for range and Melee is sweet to have and helps alot...

Enchanters Lol....

This Class well erm, due to the fact that pets dont work yet for them... its hard to lv solo with this alt, but if you can find your self a Mana Ment Budy, even with just the basic pet you will lv up faster then any one else on Hib. if you go Solo you better get a book

RvR if your Mana spec your going to have a hard time your range DD is going to be bad very bad lol, will stay hard untill you get MoC3 and Purge2 after that then WEeeeeee.... if you go farm spec alot of people go 40 Mana 35 chantments... but in live i went 50 Mana 20 light, the 20 light helps Alot with your Base DD Not your Spec DD just Base :+) so instead of doing say between 50-200 damage you will do about 150-200damage with Heat Debuff it will be 250-400 damage...

O.o once pets work Chanters do Great in RvR get a Light Chanter with Caster Debuffing Pet then watch your 300-350 damage jump to close to 500 damage :+)

if you want one of those 3 and your looking for fast lving for insta RvR i would say Valewalker But if your lookin for another Idea heres a few :+)

-----------------------------


Ment spec Light back up Mana...

this alt does great at farming once you hit lv 50... Great DDs have some Nice RAs to pick from get a Pet and power over time AND can heal your self :+) get Light to a Mini of 45 at lv 50 but if you want Oj mobs for a pet or even Reds at RR4+ spec 50 light...

--------------

Melee Ranger. 40path 39 CD 36 Stealth 37 Pericing Auto train Bow :p

on this server Both PvE and RvR is sweet to have can farm better then most tanks due to its range attacks and self buffs

In RvR get Purge2 MoS3 and a NS budy then the fun starts :+)

--------------

I played all of hib Classes each one is great some take a Good RR before they can see it tho

Good Luck and i hope these Ideas and thoughts gives you a Helping hand :+)

Sal

Thanks for the extensive reply. Its just what i needed. I played a reaver on Alb and Wardens sound a *tiny* bit like that with buffs, as do VWs with the DDs. Maybe ill end up trying both

Again thanks Sal.

Just a little note on Enchanters: If played correctly a mana specced chanter can deal out some serious dmg. Though this would be in a pbaoe group and in the current tank set ups that's probably not going to happen.

I bet a Hybrid does Better in pve than a melee ranger :>

btw purge2 is gimped °° purge1 is enough :] you just have to know how to time purge

Purge2 is ment for solo, cant realy time a Stun can ya? and if you get stuned a good 7-9 secs your dead ( most of the time ), group on the other hand purge1 is normaly enough with some determ...


@Andy sure thing :+)

i enjoyed my enchanter in live for some time :+) but a good pet does help alot, untill they do work i would rather have a mana eldy have alot more spec toys to play with then a chanter could dream about :+)

Wardens....

funny you said this. play a live warden some day and you wish you cuold hit like the uthgard wardens. warden on live hit for 40-100 max. MY scout melle warden to death with no bow or slam. here warden damage starts at 100 +. its like 2-3 time to high. but this is a VERY old complaint and will never be addressed.

salidor you know when your enemy is slamming/casting a stun so you can time purge so purge1=purge2 but i guess thats offtopic ^^

I've had just about every class you can dream about in hib...

my warden was lv 50 in live hitted for around 125-150 on most alts, had Malice axe and battler back up with a few other things added and was only a celt...
had good gear with +10 damage cap and +str cap ToA gear helps alot.

now my Hero was Shield/blade spec but could hit most alts for 250-300 damage onehanded... 393 str with +10 damage cap and +str cap

stun aye you can time a stun watch a inf/SB/NS PA you then fallow up with its stun, you can time that and press it but still loseing 3-5 secs (determend on how Well you time it ) instead of the 7 secs. but still a good 2-3 hits on ya before you recover...
@ but again these is just my exprences I've played on live almost sence it started and stayed there untill i heard about uthgard. I've soloed or Duoed alot and learned every second you lose is a second your enimie can get ya,I won or lost Alot of fights just becasue one or the other had only 5% life left :+)
Its just my opion for soloers, and from all the play i had. Purge2 saved the day...


Just a sugestion givin...

i have got a warden and vw on level 50. both were easy to leveling solo.

warden got selfbuffs, self endusong healing, so you can kill yellow/ora in chain.

vw it's similar, pull mob with lifedrain, and do only after evade and parry chain, so u losing less endu.

Just create a VW:)
Get yourself a pullbot and chain mobs spending ~15 secs to kill one.
