New here. Question about class population.

[Talon]

I know this question is always asked but seeing as I can't play for a bit and find out for myself I'll ask you guys.

I feel like I've narrowed down my preferred class to either shaman, war, sk, enchanter, or maybe cleric. Is the server swarming with any of these in particular? Is there a class you would like to see more of?

[Bboboo]

I would like to see more of, play whatever you enjoy class.

[mtb tripper]

gotta play a class you enjoy. Most all classes are played about the same

[radda]

i dont suggest warrior as a first or a casual class. it was my first pick here as i know what i plan to do and i busted my ass to be a geared as i am.. i was called crazy.
but yeah, do what ever

[Kidneypunch]

There is likely over 5-8k toons on this server, obviously not at one given time but as a whole. There are only a certain # of classes to choose from. It just depends on your plat style and how you want to play the game. If you have an odd schedule and can only play during EU time then you might want a class who can solo more in case no groups are going. Enchanter and Shaman are obviously the two best classes in the end, however they do take some time to get the hang of and their abilities comes with levels.

In my experience up to level 35, cleric is the most common of the classes you listed. That may come as a surprise, since people tend to think that the strictly healer class would be most unpopular, but I think a lot of people were attracted to cleric (including myself) because they thought it would guarantee them groups, or because they could play permanently semi-afk.

If you really want to get a group almost every time you walk into a zone, go enchanter.

[phat farm]

necro the way to go!

[Nuggie]

Tons of clerics/enchs.

Hard to go wrong with a sham with velious coming up.

Wars are a hard class for the first, but with the lack of tanks it's easier to get groups than it was on live. Sk's have the exp penalty still. I'd expect to keep that for another year or two.

[Pyrion]

I would advice mage. Nice and easy especially for starters, and while not the most wanted in groups, he/she can be a great asset. When you know more about the game and the server you could then switch to something harder to learn, like enchanter or a melee class. But mage is definately a good starting point.

Thankfully there's 8 slots to make a bunch of combos that look interesting.
Good luck & let us know what you decide on!
