Why do I keep hearing that templar is the best?

You saying that a bunch of people are going to reroll makes it sound like its suppose to be insulting or something, ive honestly never understood that mentality. Yes some people may reroll cause maybe its not the class for them. Just remember, thats a good thing and can be a bad thing, they might find the class they are good with next and be absolutely astonishing with it.

[Inambour]

No, you don't my idea. Some classes aren't fun "at all" when they are very low lvl. Ranger for example or to a lesser degree sin's and templar aren't powerful before 25+. It has nothing to do with rerolling because the class doesn't fit you. This is another story, i wasn't implying anything.

Let me explain :
ranger : it starts at 16/19 when they finally get a skill chain to be able to use the bow affectively
sin's : get good combo/stun moves at 25
templar : just kill things slooooowly before they get some crit gear but they can do it all day long even with poor gear.

See ?

Well I have to say I have been hearing Templars wtfpwn everything as well, and not from some silly thread, but from all the testers I know. I have also heard the disclaimer - one vs one is in the Templars favor "if" they can catch/grab you.

IMO this makes sense, since they are a huge knights with thick armor and a big *** sword. Their comparison to Glads, however, should have an equal trade off of Dmg vs survivability imo. I do not know if this is there - has anyone tested both classes and have some feed back?

Edit: I wont delete this post for anyone in my shoes - but check out "More Bang for You Buck" thread - great info - questions answered

That makes sense Inambour, and i can see how it would be discouraging for people to want to a play a class that has abit more flash right from the get go. I suppose if thats the case then the one thats stick with it will be rewarded with what i beleive to be a great class later on.

Templar is very group oriented, which is why I stated 50% of Aionsource is going to reroll. If you're not in an active guild, you'll most likely fall behind since you solo ridiculously slow. You'll begin to notice once you hit level 20 and start questing in Eltnen, things slow down A LOT and there will be massive KS'ers. Hell, even if you hit a monster a few good seconds, anyone can KS you.

So you will have to deal with KSers and once you reach 25, you'll cry even more. I wont go into details on this one though, you'll see yourself.

i would say it comes down to the players skills and equipemtn mainly. So you can't really say Templar are better.

Everyone should roll a Gladiator IMO.

It frustrating because, obviously those those tournaments were organized (with special rules, number 1 was NO flying and small area), players were ultra geared etc. Doesn't happen in "usual" abyss pvp.

Not being able to kite effectively or not being able to get away in order to recover CDs is bs ...
So stop making assumptions, play on C or Kr release, get some gear and you'll see all, yes i said ALL class perform well in good hands and in perfect conditions.

So yes in small areas where no one can get away Templars rock and destroy but if you want to flee or kite them to death in flying mode it's gonna be easier. (and i play a 44 templar on a Chinese server)

Of course, it's all about 1 vs 1, not something easy to get nowadays.

Amen! plus gotta add that all these people on forums say, " O I saw this templar kill 7 people the other day by himself it was EPIC" What they dont say is these 7 people had crap gear, were levels below, and dont know much about pvp and from this is born the OMG TEMPLARS are OP and the BEST.

They were also all ten levels higher than him, had the best gear in the game, and were globally viewed as the best players for their respective classes.

I'm playing in C-Aion right now, and templars are very strong, as well as clerics being OP. 3 of every 5 toons I see are clerics, hehe... but 1.5 nerfs them pretty well.

I'm sure when Aion releases here, the number of gladiator/ranger/assassin will dwarf every class.

Also, I've seen the tournament videos, which one poster in particular kept showing as proof that templar were vastly overpowered (gladiator player if i recall) by using as proof the fact that a templar beat a gladiator..only they forgot to mention that the same templar beat another templar in about the same time frame. Imo, skill plays a large part in this game, and people are too used to having auto-win classes, such as can be found in WoW and Everquest 2.

[Hrathen]

I keep hearing that templar/cleric are the op's in end game, this is bad because I was hoping that X class was op because thats the one I wanted to play. Just wanted to clear this up, cuz I need to know which class will be the OP one. Thanks. ^_^

CN isn't very relevant to us when it comes to Aion.
