    I will still have to wait and get more info on classes before i can say for sure what i will make first. with that said i think that summoner, shaman, ranger, cleric, dire lord, all look like interesting classes. for race i want halfling, elf, dwarf, all depending on class meh could even try a dark myr.

    I was leaning toward wizard, but the second paragraph onward sold me. 

    I keep watching for translation (other classes just as cryptic)   ;-)

    "While many Wizards are driven mad through meticulous and obsessive study of the arcane, those who emerge stable under the weight of this power can wield a force barely imaginable in awe and effect.

    Proin eget facilisis risus. Ut porttitor eget odio at ultrices. Nunc tempor fringilla commodo. Sed ultricies varius orci, eget blandit nisi mattis eu. Quisque lectus risus, commodo et vehicula eget, lacinia non risus. Etiam laoreet aliquam quam, quis ultrices nibh mattis eu. Phasellus et aliquam diam. In ut mauris nec massa posuere tempor. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Fusce vel mi tristique, porttitor ante non, pharetra lacus. Proin ut sem erat. Integer vitae diam ante. In finibus quis nulla a luctus.

    Donec magna tortor, mattis non mi eget, laoreet ultricies magna. Morbi commodo venenatis feugiat. Vestibulum cursus metus sapien, et sollicitudin nibh hendrerit in. Duis vitae volutpat mi. Maecenas congue magna sed pellentesque fermentum. In ligula diam, gravida sed faucibus non, tristique vitae purus. Aenean suscipit, mi lacinia feugiat venenatis, sem dui aliquam lorem, ac eleifend sapien eros id sapien. Nullam molestie placerat nunc ac finibus. Morbi semper pulvinar tincidunt. Nulla fermentum fermentum nulla, eu laoreet purus malesuada a. Proin nec mollis tellus.

    Nam cursus, magna quis pretium semper, purus eros malesuada tortor, eu efficitur tortor nunc id arcu. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Maecenas dignissim dignissim enim, sit amet feugiat diam blandit imperdiet. Aenean tristique, libero sit amet hendrerit bibendum, quam mi efficitur urna, vitae congue augue risus vitae ligula. In malesuada mi odio. Fusce nibh ex, ullamcorper sit amet lorem vitae, malesuada tincidunt diam. Nunc dignissim urna at lectus feugiat, id pulvinar felis sagittis. Mauris hendrerit placerat hendrerit. Phasellus id purus quis nisi ultricies tempus at in mi. Phasellus sed rutrum quam. Fusce ornare, nunc at elementum efficitur, lectus tellus ultrices nisl, aliquet dapibus lorem ante efficitur risus."

    Real excited to see things how much progress the team has done with every reveal. It's been a long time since being this excited about an mmorpg. 

    Always liked Wizards as a playstyle, that thread a needle of just the right amount of DPS without peeling is a fun meta-game. Showed a real nice mastery of your character and knowing what your tanks are capable of (all in terms of gear, skill, etc).

    Has there been any mention regarding how much movement there would be for casters: VG level (slow moving but no interrupt) or move and get cast interrupted?

    Kind of on the fence still about race, but leaning toward elf.

    PS - I know generic template, but still fun to think they went as far as put together some language for descriptions ;-)

    Hate to burst your bubble, but the language looks to be Latin mixed with made Lorum Ipsum.

    I'll have to stick to my roots and play an Ogre Dire Lord. Maybe try an Skar shaman as an alt. 

     

    We'll see, the wheels could come off and who knows what I'll end up playing as my main.

    Gnome Direlord. But I usually end up playing whatever is missing from the group/guild i hook up with. Will be checking out summoner too i am sure.

    If so Ogre Summoner at your service!

    Yes mate, we have said it a couple of times now (buried in threads answering questions like this, which is why it's probably hard to find lol) but there will be class/race restrictions to keep within the Pantheon Lore but we have not released that information yet, it will be released in good time :)

    Possibly an Archai, because they seem a bit wierd and off the beaten path and have a element aspect about them (can they change core elements?) maybe Dark Myr, depending on how evil they are, or...Human, I mean I like towns, community, civiliation. shops, people.

    So many cool combos now, 

    Dwarf Cleric ( as always ) and Thinking I like a Ogre Shammy or druid ( depending which class I like better of the two )

    I believe you can move and cast at the same time. But there will be a couple of different scenarios; move slowly while casting, move at regular speed while casting, and not move at all while casting. I'm pretty sure this was mentioned somewhere, just can't remember if it was by a dev or not. Might possibly even be in the FAQs now that I think about it.

    I'm beyond torn on this.  I will likely definitively decide I'm going to play a class - and that will last a few days... then I'll definitively decide I'm going to play another... rinse and repeat - with that cycle becoming minutes instead of days in the last day before launch :p

    LOL  You just described me to a T.  I'll make up my mind multiple times before I finally decide on something completely different.  :)

    As soon as Kilsin gets that login information sent on over, I'll probably roll with whatever has the best dance animation.

    I enjoy playing support roles, and with no Bards in for launch, I'll probably be a Shaman.   I had one in EQ and loved the utility and survivability.

    Uh - VR, you'll gotta help me out.  Is there more shots of gnomes?  Traditionally I was used to them being cute/cuddly who were smarter then all the other races, and just overall bad asses.

     

    The bad ass aspect seems to be REALLY ENFORCED with the drawing we have.  They look....DARK.  I clicked and re-clicked on gnomes multiple times, thinking there was a bug with it displaying Archai.

     

    I understand that is just concept art, but any word if thats is a defining look for gnomes, or if that one just happened to be wearing a very dirty V for Vendetta mask?

    I wás going to play a human, as that's what I always have been playing. Personally, Halflings seem most interesting at the moment, so might go with them instead. As of class, Crusader or warrior.

    I'll be an Archai Monk, I think.

     

     

     

    Heavy on the think.
