  1. I think for what he is asking, though, the answer is: it is not a Tank with a capital "T"...you need a templar and a cleric in each six-man team if you want to do those instances.

    Bingo. =)

    For once it honestly matters less to me what class I play than what race I am. It'll be much harder for me to get into the game as an Ary... I mean Elyos.

  2. Aw man... I've been neck-deep in EQ2 since I stopped playing War, and haven't read the classes nearly enough. I've learned after playing DAoC, WoW and WAR that when I have PvP-based goals in an MMO, I get extreme archetype A.D.D. I was actually surprised that I haven't had the urge to play more than one character in EQ2, apart from wanting to be able to have more than one tradeskill. I can research the classes all I want but I just know that I'm not going to be happy with just one. Actually, in MMO's other than EQ2, I've always had at least one of each archetype.

    With that in mind, I'm going to do something I never do. When the time comes around, I'll roll whatever we need as a guild. Obviously right now that'd be a tank. Assuming it stays that way, is there a simple answer to whether or not the Gladiator can Tank with a capital 'T'? If not, I'd be prepared to roll up a Templar.

  3. A little late on the reply, but Tillie just notified me of this thread and I found it a bit interesting. Here's cut/paste my response to Tillie in a PM just pointing me toward this topic. I'm too lazy to re-format my thoughts for this thread, and I don't have much time left on my work break ;)

    Interesting. Ashin does make the point that it kinda feels like the WoW system, but from what I read that only applies to Rank, and Rank doesn't have much at all to do with your PvP effectiveness (the top four players aside--I think the kind of player this game is going to attract will make those top four spots impossible to achieve) since you can still just buy gear with any AP you've accumulated. I'm not sure about being able to de-rank with better gear--feels like you will just be rewarded for killing weaker players who happen to have a higher rank due to their AP [not] having been spent.

    Unless I'm mistaken on my last point.

  4. Asmo. Well, I guess that is unofficial, but based on conversations I've had so far, that is what it's going to be.

    That would probably push it over the top for me. I'm always disinterested in playing human characters. Yeah, you have wings, but human with wings isn't enough of a deviation. 8) Warhammer was a bit different for me as your class basically served as your race in that you couldn't select class and race differently. That just made sense to me, I swear. :p

    At any rate, I get to be a human IRL. A big draw of these games is getting to play as something else, which leads right into my next answer. . .

    Dar what are your other gaming choices at this point? Do you have subs in other games? Just curiosity.

    Unlike (apparently) most here I never played EQ2 at all before or during our time on WAR. I've been sucked into that game. I can lock into a single game for a very long time, don't need choices sometimes =)

  5. No, Tillie was able to make his character on Zikel today. He was just explaining that he was having issues before.

    (We read this post together, I took it upon myself to relay the msg.) :p

    And we finished a fifth of tequila together. Dananana-da-da! TEQUILA!
