being is sorcerer is quiete fun and a challenge:
Your weak point is that if your casting a spell, that you stand still so you have to be aware of your surroundings and when to dmg/dps and when not to. Also while you cast, classes can think of a counter (human reaction speed during cast), with the stuns, silences, interrupts and critinterrupts + other cc, its dangerous if your cast gets canceled, losing precious time and taking dmg.

Its a challenge to manage this imo. Find the moments that your big attacks dont get avoided, being multitarget focussed with ccing, slowing, rooting and aiming your aoe.

And its something totally the opposite of your templar, wich is really strong defensive wise.

On the other hand, you have an hourly one hit button with the sorc.

I always find pet classes the hardest to play and master, so SM.

I see the notion that ranged cc classes are the hardest to play still exists.

Why do you beleive its hard to play a powerful ranged class with multiple ways to disable your oppenent? Its the very opposite of hard. All you drooling morons need to realise that kiting isnt what makes the class difficult, its what makes it easy.

All melee classes. This game is very ranged friendly.

I chose Templar for the sake of the terrible damage and insane difficulty against kiting.

This.

The "hardest" class in Aion most certainly won't be a ranged DPS. They are by far the easiest.

Well i dont have enough experience with all the classes but kiting is not as easy as you make it to be. Its easier to play a class that doesnt have to kite at all and can live than a class that is forced to kite survive, but im sure its just as difficult to catch up to a kiter so i guess its just one big circle ;D

Hardest class is Assassin by far. You are a melee who has no CC but wear paper armor. When someone flies up, it's time to run.

Healers are the only archetype that needs to do their job under continual focus fire and will always be the archetype that requires the most skill to reach the highest echelons of play.

Ranger winning the poll? LOL.

Try levelling out of Altgard.

We polled this question ages ago, Spiritmaster won in a landslide, though my personal opinion would be Chanter slightly eclipses them if the criteria is more defined as 'most skill to play well'

Healers have the most laid back job in the entire game concerning pvp so no way.

Id give it to a melee class, probably glads/Templar since they really can't do much against the ranged classes and when it comes to flying....

i find it funny how you guys are crying that 'ranged' classes aren't hard to play when our 'range' is only 25m

seriously pretty much every single class can catch a ranger atm.

I love sorcs.. and by no means am I calling anyone who plays sorcs.. "Noobs".. but..

Sorcs are by far the easiest class i've played in Aion.. Not by a large margin.. but nevertheless.. it's the easiest.

No.



I have Abyss boots and no melee can catch you with them- even without snare you have to be real silly to get caught.
