I must confess that i have read a lot about all the different classes available and there isn't one that is the clear choice for me now that Age of Conan is only two days away. In World of Warcraft i felt it was easier since i enjoyed having pets, so i went for hunter.

In AoC the pet classes are Demonologist and Necromancer. The problem i have with them is that the pets you get are funky demons and undeads, i really hate that! A pet should be a "real" pet or at least a robot of some kind, i'm not that fond of undead.

That being said i scouted around a bit for other classes and at the moment the choice seems to be between Assassin (i liked Rogue in WoW), any of the Soldier classes or the priests... I liked playing priests in WoW as they are a support class but i never really tried my hands at Tanks, which is why Soldiers are interesting.

Anyway, i just wanted to see why you good people chose the classes that you did.

See you all on the battlefield!

Theres going to be no in depth analysis from me, takes away the fun of learning a character so i haven't even really studied the classes.

That being said i think i will go with the Barbarian, from what little ive read on them they sound like what i usually play.

Barbarian or Conqueror or maybe HoX, I can't decide so many good classes. I'm in turmoil.

Personally id rather control an undead or demon, especially since the game has a dark setting compared to WoW. Having a boar fight with you seemed kind of silly, thats just me though :3

Im probably going to go with soldier because I love tanking as well, and they have the best all-round melee skills I imagine. Hopfully they arent restricted to sword/shield to be effective, I really want to use a massive two hander.

For me, I decided to roll 2. A  Guardian for solo play/exploring and a PoM for small groups and possibly a guild if I can find a small decent, generally like-minded one.

I'm probably going to go for the Bear Shaman class, looks like it has everything I like - melee ability, good buffs and healing.  The class sounds quite self sufficient too which is good for soloing and pvp.

Guardian and a Bear-Shaman alt.

Dark Templar and pet class for an alt.

Barbarian all the way!

No alts, had too many of those in a certain popular game.

I'm torn between demonologist, necro and a ranger.....I really don't know.   I like to do massive damage, have a  pet that tanks....be usefull in groups...etc.

aq. female ranger armorer

stig. male demonogist herbalist

probably a Herald of Xotli, shapeshifting and melee combat is just the thing for me. And they belonging to the Set culture just makes it better.

Else it'll be either a Conquer, Templar, or a Guardian. Kinda melee supreme here.

nope not yet,so many cool choice i can't deiced ):
maybe assassin but not sure at all :P

Herald of Xoti seems kind of fun, with throwing daggers for max range on both melee and spells.  But then again i v always had a sweet tooth for hybrids
