    Who is exited!!!?? I know I am! I've been waiting to have a full view casters for a long time. Who are you guys more interested in? for me its the Summoner!!!! 

    I also want to see what enchanter and wizard bring to the table (maybe they will bring me to their side). Tommorow will be a defining moment in me choosing caster or healer (as a main character). Anyone in the same boat as i am?

    Initially, I was slobbering over the idea of a Wizard. But watching the Enchanter play yesterday and seeing glances at some of their abilities has made me heavily consider that now, too. I haven't played a true CC-class in so many years that it might be nice for a change.

     

    Summoner I can see drawing me to it as well - having pets could be a great RP gimmick. If all 3 were about the same level of enjoyment for me mechanically, the pets might be the tie-breaker. I get the feeling it's going to be a tough decision!

    We've seen the Enchanter and Wizard in streams, but know next to nothing about the Summoner, except what was discussed in my interview with Joppa. I know a lot of people have been really looking forward to the Summoner for a long time now, so I think that's the most anticipated.

    I've played enchanter in a few mmos and now is the most exited Ive been for the class too, the whole making you actually wanna cast dmg because it will feed mana to the team and the way they have made it so necesary for them to be in group for in crowd control which has been lost over the years (the class was usually there for mana boost and attack speed buffs while the pet attacked). Im sure glad they divided it to a new archtype and I'm hoping that what we see tommorow will open my eyes even more to the archtype, which will make my desicion even harder lol. but i want it to be hard.

    Do you think thats all there is to the wizard and enchanter Bazgrim? I was thinking those were like the basic spells and mechanics of the class which could still let them join groups and that there would be more added to them. I might be wrong tho.

    No, I'm sure we'll see at least some new Wizard and Enchanter abilities in the reveals that are surprising and exciting. And beyond that, it's important to remember that the reveals aren't comprehensive, so there'll be even more abilities in-game that we still won't know until we actually get in there. I just think that the fact that we haven't seen ANY of the Summoner makes them that much more intriguing :)

    I started out playing a druid, so I guess I personally associate with that character the most.

    I switched over to Enchanter and this is the player I played most intensely and most devotedly.  In groups, guilds and raids I was probably at my best as a Chanter.

    I drifted away from raiding and end game content lost it's appeal to me so I switched over to Mage and two-boxed and as a solo player I accomplished the most with this character.

     

    So.......

    Casters are what this whole game is about, for me.   I am 99% sure I will roll an Enchanter right from the beginning, although I wanted to play a Halfling.  Barring that, I would probably roll an Elf Enchanter.  If  they make a Halfling Summoner, I would pick that over a chanter even. For me, the class matters 80% and the race matters 20% so its a combination.  I'm so torn.....

    So my preferences for my first/main toon are these

    1. Halfling Chanter (can't do)
    2. Halfling Summoner (can't do)
    3. Halfling Bard (can't do)
    4. Elf Chanter
    5. Elf Summoner
    6. Human Summoner
    7. Human Chanter

    Yeah fazool race has alot of impact for me too. altho for this game I will be also putting alot of weight in to the stat and racial traits, because im sure its gonna be a hard start so I lowered the racial perrcentage down a bit. the race a least want to play is human lol funny ain't it. but since a few friends of mine are playing good race classes, I have to hold off on evil races and have em for alts if I ever have the time to make one lol. My prefered race/class mix for now are (shaman/archai), (halfling/druid), (summoner or ench/ gnome) this is all subject to change with the stat and racial traits tho lol

    Hmm, I am: Ecstatic, eXultant, Cheerful, tIckled, Thrilled, Elated, Delighted for the August Newsletter.
     
    So hard to choose (which means they are doing a bang up job).

    Cleric, Shaman, Enchanter, Summoner, or Wizard.

    I only know one thing for sure.   I will need 5+ character slots, and adequate alpha/beta time.

    I have high hopes for the Wizard.

    I want to nuke things, I'm hoping the Wizard has low utility (crowd control) traded for high damage output.

    Yep, I'm definitely most looking forward to the Summoner as well, but really want to see what all three are about. I'm very curious about the extent of the Enchanter's CC abilities and exactly what sort of utility the Wizard has.

    I won't be playing a caster for a long time (Necromancer finished at launch being the exception to that assertion) but I'm just looking forward to having the full class picture finally.  It's been a long time coming.

    I am really excited even if I doubt I will play any. I am sure I will be pleasantely surprised! Perhaps more combo? (ie: wet shaman status, druid storm)

    Wizard has access to a root if I am correct. Strong vs melee target, not so strong vs caster because rooted target can cast?! not sure.

    No I'm not looking forward to it I'm dreading it.

    I think my biggest problem with Pantheon is the classes.

    Every reveal has had me looking at classes I don't traditionally favour and thinking they sound awesome.

    At this rate I'm going to need at least 11 alts!

    AAARGH!  Stop it VR!

    I’m excited for info on enchanters. Because bards aren’t a thing yet.

    I miss my bard.
