Neverwinter: Choose your class

[Zeli]

I'm not sure how many character slots will be available at launch, but in beta weekends, we've been limited to two. If that carries over to launch, it'll make choosing your first class wisely a bit more important.

If you're still on the fence, here's an article that may help you decide: massively.joystiq.com/2013/04/17/neverwinter-days-choosing-your-first-class/

Neverwinter Days: Choosing your first class
by Justin Olivetti on Apr 17th 2013 1:00PM

So what should I pick?

Sure, you can fiddle around with all five classes when you get into open beta, but I'm willing to bet that after those brief descriptions (read the entire article here), you already know which class will be best suited to your playstyle. If not, here's a quick list to help you narrow your choice down:

• Want to tank? Guardian Fighter.
• Want to do lots of melee DPS? Trickster Rogue, Great Weapon Fighter.
• Want to be a spellcaster? Control Wizard, Devoted Cleric.
• Want to be highly welcome in groups? Devoted Cleric, Guardian Fighter.
• Want to mess with your enemies? Trickster Rogue, Control Wizard.
• Want to stealth attack? Trickster Rogue.
• Want pets? Any of the classes.

I love the Control Wizard, though I played a bunch of Guardian Fighter while testing foundry missions. It is quite fun in its own way. I'll probably make CW my main and a drow Guardian when the Drow become available. Although I do enjoy my halfling fighter with a mohawk.

I mostly played the cleric during my one beta weekend, and I liked it a lot. However, I'll be going guardian for launch. Me tanking and my wife healing has always been our way, and the guardian has a lot more self healing that I initially anticipated which makes me like it more. Then I'll try to hold on to the second slot until i can make a ranger or a bard.

Yeah, I'd dearly love to play a bard. So I'll stick with CW for the most part. I bought the Guardian pack, so I get 3 slots.

I have absolutely no idea! I'm hoping for an epiphany before next Thursday - so that I don't spend all my headstart staring blankly at the char creation screen...

Like most people, I was hoping there would be more than 5 classes at launch, and so I'll probably hold of creating Kess (Human) until they bring in the Monk class (his original class in EQ).

In the absence of a Paladin, Braq (Dwarf) will be a GF. I enjoyed playing him as a GWF in beta, but I'm lazy and would rather just block than dodge incoming damage. Persephony (Human) is always my healer. These 2 are what I will reserve for grouping, which leaves me the TR or CW for solo play...

I feel like I should play a Drow given I shelled out for the HotN pack - although I've never been a big fan of the race. I think I will be tossing a coin

Word on the street is that Ranger and Warlock are coming. No details other than both are DPS classes (I think).

I watched several videos and I think I want to play a guardian warrior. I played the great sword fighter guy in 1 beta and he was fun, but I want a tank

[Winin]

Tank is fun. I played a 60 GF during several dungeon runs.

Hi, i was played a Cleric in my second class, my first neverwinter class is Trickster Rogue. Now, here is the neverwinter cleric guide online and i feel this guide is not fit for me.
