Class choices within each faction

[Shu]

We have polls indicating the number of people who are going to play each class, and also polls indicating the number of players in each faction. My question is, how evenly are those classes divided within each faction? Is the protective and supportive image of the angelic-looking Elyos going to make more people pick Chanters, Clerics, and Templars? Is the primal and ruthless appearance of the Asmodians going to make more people pick Assassins, Gladiators, and Sorcerers? We know that both factions have the same capabilities in terms of stats and skills, but how much are appearances and lore going to change the decisions made between classes and races?

Haha, sorry I didn't know about your idea, but I would assume that this may have crossed many of our minds thus far.

I really can see the thematic representation of each faction affecting decisions for the roles that people play, even if it only affects a small amount of people. I just think that the results may end up being quite a surprise, so I'm really interested in them.

Hmm... maybe I should have organized the poll so that the same classes between each faction are right beside each other, so we could compare more easily..

Wow! Go Elyos Chanters!

I probably shouldn't have voted, because I'm completely undecided between Gladiator, Ranger, and Sorcerer (yah, I'm a DPS *****), and I'm not entirely convinced I'm rolling Elyos, but I voted based on my leanings right now... Elyos Gladiator. We'll see though.

w00t for the most part, but also means that there will be more competition for getting into parties and such. Let's be honest here, parties can benefit from doubles from any DD class, but is there really any way to benefit as much from multiple buffers? Perhaps there are certain buffs that take up a certain slot and you can only pick one buff over another? I know that Chanters can be assigned different auras to use, which can increase efficiency, but I don't think an extra aura will increase the party's efficiency as much as another DD, support, or tanking class.

Well, I haven't finalized my class/race decision yet either, so we're in the same boat x3

We can duel and I'll show you that you ain't so tough. Then I'll chain you up and make you tank/dps for me, HOW ABOUT THAT? xD

Nope, don't tank. Pure DPS baby. I'll tank while I dual wield/swing a huge friggin' polearm around. No shields though. Even if glads can do it effectively and should at times, I won't do it. You can chain me all you want, but I'll go naked and let the mob kill me before I tank for you.

... unless I can DPS tank. That seems kinda OP though. We'll see.
