I'm going to try a new class too - Necromancer
What class will you play for Anashti Sul?
- Thread starter Xeshaka
- Start date
I second going Zerk. SK's are just too similar. Zerk has some really fun mechanics. Like going berserker when you take damage. It's a proper berserker!
Doing it differently this time. Using https://numbergenerator.org/ I am going to first roll a random on which race and then another for which class on that race.

Monk (Good), Bruiser (Evil)
Paladin (Good), Shadowknight (Evil)
Ranger (Good), Assassin (Evil)
Swashbuckler (Good), Brigand (Evil)
Conjuror (Good), Necromancer (Evil)
Illusionist (Good), Coercer (Evil) - One last edit to fix my "Enchanter Erasure" LOL.
Mystic (Good), Defiler (Evil)
Templar (Good), Inquisitor (Evil)
Each role had 1 neutral subset
Fighter - Berserker and Guardian
Scout - Troubadour and Dirge
Priest - Fury and Warden
Mage - Warlock and Wizard
Per Nuhvok - if you look up the Kingdom of Sky Prima Guide a lot of information should be available via Internet Archive.

assassin, I don't plan to soloIt's obviously been a while since we all played with the 2006 ruleset.
What will be your go to solo class?
If playing a group class role, which flavor you going for? Mystic vs Fury vs Temp etc?
Any notable differences that you can remember about classes in 2006 that will affect your choice?
See you in the beta next week
shadowknight aggro was terrible, I hated grouping with them as a brig

Edited my prior post for clarity. I remember MOST of the ones that are still G/E because I'm not that far gone but the neutral Priest and Mage set I'm only about 70% sure I'm right on those. Sounds right though.

Neutrals are Warrior (Guardian/Berserker), Bard (Troubadour/Dirge), Druid (Warden/Fury), and Sorcerer (Wizard/Warlock).
You can find the Prima Game Guide for Kingdom of Sky on the Internet archive, it should be the closest to Origins in terms of class info.

Yeah, that's sort of what I was figuring. Even before the "let's have two neutral sets instead" stuff, there's names that just sound outright more intimidating/generally evil that can work as clues. Was more typing a quick response while working so was trying to not need to google or pull up old books for the person I was responding to.
Thanks!
So this is difficult as I play 3 classes or used to. But I may try just one this timeIt's obviously been a while since we all played with the 2006 ruleset.

Having said that I'll probably play the assassin again ... But
If you make the choice vary difficult and bring back the original 2006 AA line and not how it is today. As the Inquisitor changed all there or most all there spells into melee instead or caster type combat arts.

As far as we know, all of the game data is going to be "as it was" in 2006. When the FAQ mentions certain art assets and codes that are shared across all versions, they are most likely referring to the Splash Screens which have changed a good amount over the years, the MotDs which only seldom have been able to vary from server-to-server, and stuff like that - the behind the scenes programming, if you will. That's why it almost immediately follows up them mentioning that it is it's own code base
As we will be in Vanilla at the start, there shouldn't be any AAs. If we unlock expansions, we would only end up with KoS and EoF AAs as they were in 2006. Granted until tomorrow at 12pm PST/3pm EST I suppose this is all speculation based off what little information we do have
Illusionist = Good
Coercer = Evil

I like the way you think. I was going for a Illy as well, and for healer, I love my Mystic. Never played a Fury, but from the later years, a Fury and Mystic work well together..
See everyone there.

I am having a hard time deciding what to play, I used to play Monk and I just love how they look and play, especially now since we will have stats again, but I also kinda want to be in the back this time around and just dps / have it easier, I used to also have a Templar as a duo box so I might get a duo healer (not a templar this time) as a EU player on US servers it might get tricky to get groups at some point and just run a third dps nuke class.
warlock, necro or coercer also look good too, if I was smart I would do something easy like a courcer main for charm & grouping, a petclass for tanking instead of doing the tanking myself and fury for heals/extra dps, but, I dont know if I can ignore the fighters call to arms

OTOH Anashti'sul isn't going to have the EU/US split so most EU players interested in the server will be in one place. Might not even need to box really. And US peeps do have their share of night owls lol.
