So.. What do you think? For me Herald of Xotli sounds like the "best" class.
Find it a bit wierd that 2 of the Mage classes is meele. The others are pet oriented...

Thanks for the post.... Certainly stays with the theme of being different and dark. Does not sound like there will be much variety in the type of spells you will be able to cast, but like the priest, will likely be more difficult to play than most other mmo's as you bounce from melee to spell casting.

I liked the Necromancer description. It will be interesting to see how spells/powers will be handled.

I'm not a fan of the fact that the only spells attributed to mages at this point are direct damage spells - that is precisely the problem with spellcasters in nearly every other mmo to come out so far.

I sincerly hope that the 'arsenal' of spells they mentioned broadens out a little or i'm pridicting that the 'demonologist' and 'necromancer' are going to be shit, regardless of how powerful they make them.

Call me crazy, but i've always believed that 'pure' spellcasting classes should have a little more depth too them then simply being archers that fire spells instead of arrows.

That being said, the melee mage classes do sound interesting at least.

Good descriptions, but I too would like to see a colorful array of different and distinct spells.

Herald of Xotli and Lich, those two looks nice enough. I have always wanted a warrior caster. I suspect it will feel nice transforming into a demon and start ripping ppl limb from limb. Yeah... sometimes I even want to do that in real life

I liked the descriptions, altho I think they will have a hell trying to balance it all out. even with 1000 different spells to choose from, people will find the most efficient ones and use only them.

We'll just have to wait and see!

Ofc there will always be "best spell", like warriors will have "best punch" etc (hope u catch my drift :P)

I would consider to play Lich, if any of the mages, since I played a warlock in WoW, and I need something different now.

I do like that there are a number of mage classes built for melee and close combat. As for the spells... though they do say the basic class is a ranged damage class, the descriptions are really rather simple and it's hard to tell how creative the spell choices will be. We can but hope....

I'm leaning towards a guardian because I'm a giver, that's me, all I do is give give give! Heh heh well maybe not... I'll have to see what all the warrior classes are about, but I'm leaning towards guardian and defense over offense. Unless a defensive class looks to be gimped in PvP. Much, much more yet to learn...

[Melkorus]

Heral seems most appealing to me judging by description, simply coz not many mmos give you option to transform into demon hehe, and it's melee.

Their classes do feel differnt for the most part. Now, they said their SPECIALITY is direct dmg, but that doesn't mean they don't have other spells in their pockets, that's the way I see it anyway.
