When it comes to PvP. What are the good and bad classes for it and why?
So far I reckon the Ranger is king, but how are the others?

Bow/crossbow dmg is too high, once you hit 40 you'll notice ;)
There are no bad classes in pvp atm, it's just a matter of using all of the abilities given to win.

Demonologists aren't that great in PvP. Yes you can trap ppl and nuke BUT once you start nuking the trap breaks and the cooldown is EVIL I tell you and once they are close you are deadmeat. :(

With electric dmg the trap breaks for me, but it stays intact with fire.

Faced a ranger who opened first, I managed to nuke him, turning around him and burn him to death. Hox is great if you can get in range, otherwise it's fucked...

So PVP is all about ranged combat? Does that mean Guardian is no good for PVP?

What does this mean? Speak straight or I'll have your heads!
You've all played more than me, and done pvp. I haven't got time to level up many characters, so I need to know which is best to invest time in, bearing in mind we're on a pvp server :eek:

Like Volw posted there are no bad classes in pvp, it's about how you want to play and finding a class you find most fitting to your playstyle. There's no best-by-default class for PvP.
Rangers are currently doing stupid amounts of damage with some lucky crits 2-3 shotting players and npcs more than 10 levels above them. But that HAS to be some sort of bug affecting bows and crossbows, otherwise it's just plain retarded.

I think we could use necro? Don't seem to be too many of them. Conqs we have got a few definitely. Not a whole lot of DTs I don't think. Not a huge number of demos either. So in order probably:
Necro, Demo, DT, then Conq.

Necros are doom to the Barbs/Rouges. The DoT seems to last forever and a day, not allowing the buggers to hide again.
Outside of rangers it seems relatively balanced. Demos could use some love, but in general they are not that bad at higher lvls.
In general all classes have 'something' about them.

Don't go for Demon. Sucks for PvP tbh.

Keep in mind that Necros here are *not* soloing bests, they really shine in teams.

ay .. i do not intend to solo that mmorpg ... well not much after lvl20 anyways; besides the golden days of 4 - 7 nights a week play are over here; so irather aim for quality grp play with a class that delivers in grps. ... :cool:

Well, in general all of the casters suck atm. IE vast majority of PoMs feats don't work or don't scale. Theres quite a few bugs with demos too.
It's hard to tell how fast they are goign to solve it, but considering how fast lvling is, it might be a good idea to roll some melee for now.

That and spell upgrades give you a grand total of three more damage range for 50 more mana cost...

As if Necros have a monopoly on crap feats? :D
There are a lot of classes with feats that are broken or that do not properly scale.
I think that right now if you play FotM you risk getting hit hard when the fixes start coming in. If you play something with clear issues you may just end up happier in the near term . . . maybe not this second, but a week to a month?
*shrug*
In any case I think Necro is a good class once you accept how it works in this game. I just don't personally like it.

Rolled me a lill Necro named "Regdod" :rolleyes: and played it a bit looks alot of fun.
Him and my lill Ranger named Blasphem are on Fury altough i think i'll focus on the Necro for now as i thought about the same line as Kham about them "fixes/nerfs"
CHeers!
