The case for a Tunare enchanter.

[tadkins]

Been sitting here for the last couple days trying to figure out what I ultimately want to play as a main. Got a decent chunk of life savings platinum waiting for whatever choice I make. Two of the stronger contenders I have in mind are an agnostic human enchanter, or a Tunare HIE enchanter.

I've heard the arguments for going agnostic all the time and I know it's pretty much the default choice. But the more I think about it, the Tunare option might be a good one too. There seems to be good reasons for going that route.

-The imbued High Elf Cultural chain is quite good for an enchanter.
-The Ancient Tomes quest later when Velious hits (rolling on Green server). Great piece of gear and I can't picture there being too much competition there.
-More of a personal taste thing, but essentially choosing a side in the world. The thing with an agnostic human enchanter, is that I would be compelled to keep my factions maintained everywhere, and thus would feel like I'm walking on eggshells with all the groups. That would limit my killing options. With the Tunare one I could feel like a true "good guy" and use my unlimited cosmic charming power on the various evil guards and NPCs of the world without much of a care.
-Rest of the reasons are also more of a personal taste thing. I like the idea of being friendly with the fae-folk throughout the Faydarks, reminds me of those fay-pact warlocks and sorcerers in D&D who often wield the powers typically attributed to enchanters in this game. Tunare is also a cool and pretty deity herself. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There might be other cons with that choice but these are a couple of the more immediate ones I thought of.

-Raiding PoG later will be an issue. What would a guild say if I ask to not have to help with killing anything in there (but still want to be able to raid other places)?
-Epic might be tougher at some points. Verina Tomb in particular, can't really use the whole city of Neriak to try and solo her. Reania Jukle might also be tough to reach though I suppose that part is optional.
-Not entirely sure how the brownies will feel about it, but I can't imagine much of a problem there.

Just felt like sharing some thoughts I've had over the last couple days, trying to decide what to play. Thanks for listening. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
