Engineers

are the heavy armor tank & spank class. Think of a Paladin in WoW -- they're big fucking meat shields with body armor on. They have an intimidate on a very short cooldown (compared to the other two classes that have taunts on very short cooldowns) which means higher threat generation than the other classes. They're great at holding aggro on group mobs, but their usefulness ends at holding aggro and soaking damage. They offer no utility to the group and need a healer to be on their ass 24/7.

Stalkers

are the deflect tanks. They're wearing medium armor, so they're at a natural disadvantage to the Warrior & Engineer... but, with a high focus on deflect rating and tons of mobility, Stalkers may very well need to be healed less than the other two tanks! They're agile and avoid hits altogether and also have some built in life steal to keep their HP up. They're pretty average at most things, although they DO suck at maintaining groups of mobs since they have virtually no AoE.

Warriors

are damage mitigation masters. They have plenty of superpowered defensive cooldowns to turn them into impenetrable brick walls and can eat huge damage spikes for breakfast. Not to mention, their Defensive Grid & Plasma Wall cooldowns provide massive 21-30% damage mitigation for the group as well! They've also got a whole suite of debuffs they can put on the target, like Smackdown, to help their group burn through the content faster. They're lean, mean, damage-soaking machines and having one in your raid group will mean more living DPSers and faster kills.

Yep. NA - Pergo - PVP will be where me/Grimm/Gamma are setting up shop, Dominion side.

[Kcdaspot]

apparently dps stalkers got a bad nerf too in the pre launch patch...

I played that class in the beta, but now im wary of playing it post-launch/head-start.

PEDIT: I SHALL ACCOMPANY AS BEST I CAN. _{i will never be able to be any good though. my pc only gets 9 fps max on LOW settings.}

[xRECKONERx]

9fps is like... unplayable. Jeeeeesus.

Everything got hit a little hard in the pre-launch patch. Engineers & Stalkers took a bigger hit than the other classes though

[Kcdaspot]

what can i do.... im in pc gamer hell... forever listening to 12 yaer olds on tf2 feeling what its like to get a boner when they get a crit.

and they dont know what sex is.

[xRECKONERx]

Tony Rey had some advice for launch for me:

[Kcdaspot]

a antihotlink?

thats some REAL manly advice brah.

[xRECKONERx]

Whooops

[Kcdaspot]

IS YOUR PENIS READY

[Kcdaspot]

IT BEGINS

.... ignore me.

PDT.

ONLINE BITCHES

Fuck Pergo, going to Warbringer. Pergo is slam full (has 5x the population/login requests as any other server)

[Oman]

Ok almost home to start this. Still haven't decided on warrior or engineer but it will likely be engineer.

Played a warrior and a pally through WoW, so I guess I'm just that guy. Warrior utility does look sex though.

[xRECKONERx]

Warrior utility is sexy as fuck.

I'm enjoying the hell out of my engineer so far but I've never been a big melee player, otherwise I'd 100% go Warrior.

[Oman]

Car accident. Chilling in hospital. Could be headstarting.

I'm safe and all.

[Kcdaspot]

god dammit oman i know you want to play badly.. but consider your safety.

Filthy casual.

[tanstalas]

Ugh... So don't want to get addicted to another MMO, but here we go

[tanstalas]

Also, does this game support 5760x1080?

[xRECKONERx]

Also, does this game support 5760x1080?

I have no clue.

Roll on Warbringer, though.

Speaking of which... Warbringer folks, I got the guild up and running today! (Argh, I'll never afford that mount.) Add 'Tektonix' as a friend and I'll invite you to the guild.

[tanstalas]

20% downloaded :/

Damn slow Canadian internet

[Kcdaspot]

warbringer is full.

... ill just stay in pve...

[xRECKONERx]

Warbringer will keep being "full" but I had a "2 hour" queue this morning that literally lasted 6 minutes.

[xRECKONERx]

Also they're

slowly

raising the caps on all servers as the launch goes on. They'll undoubtedly allow more people in tomorrow after the official launch, and once you create a character on a server you get priority queue access on that server
