Age of Conan

So many fun classes...so hard to choose which to make my main...

I've narrowed it to choices at least...Herald of Xotli and Bear Shaman...I find both really fun, leaning on HoX a little more though right now.

Darn Funcom for making so many fun classes! Heck, I'm sure tomorrow I'll have it narrowed "down" to three classes, lol...

anyone else with same problem? I'm usually an alt aholic anyway, but this is particularly hard to choose...

The first step is admitting you have a problem

I was always a one char guy until I became an altaholic. It's just cool to be able to jump on chars with different playstyles to mix it up a bit. But I usually fully gear out my main first, because if not, I always think about how I could be making him better.

I play a HoX, simply nuts.  They have so much going for them in pve and pvp.  I do not know from personal experience but I hear that bear shaman are a pain in the ass to level 1-20.  Not that it's impossible but hard.  My HoX is level 30 atm, but at 29 I could 2 shots 4 mobs at level 31.  Yes they are that good.

Gee...thanks for making my decision harder!

just got my bear sham to 20 tonight, and I have to agree. It was hell getting it too 15. Luckily there is no death penelty before tn so deaths are just a run back. But now I tear through mobs like nothing, and with that extra healing capability, it almost seems overpowered. Very likely going to be my class of choice even after getting my barb to 33. It is a very fun class that is in no way underpowered after lvl 20... before lvl 20 is a whole different game

Well, I decided at least for now that my Bear Shaman will be my main.

From level 1-10 it was harder than other classes...but I still did pretty well, it was easier than I expected.

At level 9 I did the volcano and half way through I got to level 10...then I got my second heal, a buff and I started kicking butt. Still not super great...but much better than I was. I only died 4 or 5 times in the instance, mostly due to mistakes.  I've always played really good with healer classes in MMOs, I'm really really good at healing...I know healers are different in AoC, but I like playing a healer/priest type class. So, we'll see how it ends up.

HoX's do decent damage, but die in a matter of nano-seconds in PvP.

Bear shamans are just not good enough at either melee or healing to tickly my fancy~

But both are definitely fun classes to play.
