That is true but most people want a good healthy game alot more and that requires a balanced field were the player makes the class uber not the other way around.

Taerr · 04-16-2008, 10:29 AM

agreed, balance is always the main goal for almost every game isn't it? encourages diveristy and blah blah blah. Tho, perfect balance will be hard to acheive, so far, i like how Aion has things balanced me thinks

Im afraid Ranger is going to be the over powered one. Insane Crit ranged shots. Dead before you even get to them. Thats why in WoW warriors had charge. Need something to close that gap, so they cant kite you.

I doubt Ranger will be over-powered. From the videos i've seen, it's nothing special actually. I bet NCsoft learned its lesson with Lineage.

Looks to me, from what I have seen from the videos, that ranger dps is low compared to what I have seen. The difference though is that rangers have some amazing kiting power from what I have seen.

I can already imagine the frustration of chasing some freaking archer jumping around all day just to land one hit on him.

Do you, like, purposefully mis-understand all original thread ideas? -.-

It's not my wish. Which is why I'm asking others what they think.

i think one of the best thing about the warr/tank types is that they teach the player to USE THAT FAT THING IN YOUR HEAD... yes that would be your brain...
most of the time the warr/tank knows its gonna be picked on, and therefor puts him/herself with some people who know what they are doin. playing a tank in WoW, the most frusturating thing was the "easily distracted healer" and the dps who forget that they can actually use there abilities.
in terms of PvP, or siege or even Guild vs Guild, i think that if you play the glad right, position yourself correctly and have a previously set game plan with healers that 1) know what the hell theyre doin and 2) well geared enough to keep you breathing, you will be able to get one hell of an adrenaline rush outta running in the front lines and pounding your way to squishies... and you know the rest... XD

Im leaning twords Gladiator, because..

1. I always use weapons
2. I hate mana
3. No druid class in Aion (aka, nothing that can mimic since everyones unique)

and finally

4. You hit stuff hard.

Im hoping gladiators are capable of somthing similar to wow warriors, off tanks with damage or damage dealing death machines that can bounce around a field of combat and cause a lot of trouble when ignored.

HD300 · 04-20-2008, 06:44 AM

If Gladiators get a charge-like attack, it'll be just like warriors in WoW with more flashy abilities. I will say though, if they don't get a skill to close the gap I won't be playing a Gladiator. I refuse to play a class that's going to be kited for four years until I die.

This is what I think as well. I don't see one at the moment, which is somewhat concerning. It's not like I have trouble finding a class that seems interesting, though, so all my eggs aren't in the gladiator basket.

What do you mean by charge attack?

I'm guessing he means a skill that pretty much teleports you to the opponent in a not-so-magical way.

as tempting as they look to play
I have played the hybrid class in every mmo I have ever played
so naturally that means I will be rolling a chanter, and it will take something big to get me away from the chanter
