And all of the other summoning/pet classes ever created.

I am going to be playing a spiritmaster in all honesty as that is where my MMO specialization lies. I have played a Level 80 lock on WoW and a level 7X Necromancer on Lineage2. Both classes are pet and player based, needing the player to be able to use both his own spells and that of his pet to maximize damage. In all honesty I find summoner type classes strong when played by a good player due to the fact that you basicly have 2 opponents to fight in a pvp.

However, if they are as good as they seem will have yet to be seen. And any class is good if played correct, there is no "Best class"

BOTH! of course. but I will definitely pick spiritmaster the first character I choose

Ryuzaki · 03-06-2009, 01:59 PM

I'd pick Spiritmaster. I love the summons etc.

Can some1 help me out here? maybe post links to as many vids of mages or/and spiritmasters in action (PvP and PvE)

I am hoping to decide by release.

just chose which animation/style you like a bit more - that is all! i think for both class plays good. You just need to decide for yourself what class u want drive - mage or summoner (l2)

Hah SM's got more votes but I have to say come retail i bet they're rare and few between! More complex characters always get left behind upon 1st release for easier more simple characters.

Basa · 04-23-2009, 01:35 PM

I agree with Vain. Im going to try out both but right now if I had to theorize Id say sorc being that 1) cc usually tends to put a fight in your favor. Couple that with a class that does alot of dmg output is just sick. 2) The sorc seems to have cc for all types(melee, ranged, and caster). 3) The SM may be completely awesome but I feel a big blow against the class might be that whatever pet/elemental you have out atm can make or break you. Imo it takes too long to switch up. In pve that might be forgiving but in fast paced pvp I doubt it. Its going to be interesting to see what ppl do with the stigma stones. I tend to look at pvp as "end game" so my idea's are more suited to that.

Kossuth · 04-24-2009, 05:08 PM

All I've seen about Sorc was nice dmg and PvP so, first, I give a try. But we'll see, maybe they'll unbalance both and I'll give a try to an Assasin.

Koto · 04-25-2009, 10:36 AM

Definitely Mage. I'm more into shooting things from afar, and flashy skills.

Don't like close combat either

Im just posting here because of My new name PyroRogue. I have already posted with Mirrorace and Im sticking to what I have said Mage all the way I dont like to rely on a pet to tank or do my work for me. I want to have all the fun. Mage have to much aoe damage and involve way more skill then a summoner. If you want to read more what I have said look at mirrorace post. Thankyou

SM will have more options than a Sorc most likely
