With the Warhammer Online open beta coming to a close, it’s time for me to make some decisions about what I will be following through into the live release.

My initial thoughts, before I played beta, had me leaning towards a Disciple of Khain, however upon playing the class I decided that I didn’t really get on very well with its mechanics.

Going with the healer scheme, I tried out Shaman. Shaman is an interesting class to play, but again I was not sure about its mechanics. I found it quite annoying to play, but this may well have been because I tried Shaman out as a level 31 premade character in closed beta. Perhaps come live I will eventually get around to trying it again from scratch.

This left me with Zealot to play in terms of healing. Zealot I enjoyed right off the bat, the instant cast heals, HoTs, DoTs, and shields were very apealing to me - and would prove most useful on the RvR battlefields which is where I imagine I will end up spending a good deal of my time.

With my main class decided on, I started considering some alts. I’m quite prone to making alts, as the various level 70s (3) and 60s (4) in WoW prove. Now, a DPS class of some kind would be the obvious choice, so I spent some time going through them.

After briefly trying out each DPS class, I think I have narrowed the choice down to either Witch Elf or Sorceress. Obviously ranged DPS is going to have the mass advantage in RvR from what I have seen so far, so Sorceress is the slightly more apealling career choice here. I am however, going to follow Schozie’s advice of “Why not make both?”

See you on the battlefields!
