Yeah I cant wait to see the new armour for the old classes. So 'sins and rits wont be getting new armour? i dont really mind, I kinda left my sin after Shing Jea island and played Factions with my Tyrian Necro. I'll probably play Paragon first, but will try the Dervisher during the weekend, i wonder which god they turn into?

Big_Iron · Jul 19, 2006, 01:03 PM // 13:03

I'll give both a spin, but since the first preview is PvP (and I suck at PvP), I'll still withold judgement until they do a PvE weekend. I assume they will do both since this is what they did with Factions.

Chooby · Jul 19, 2006, 01:06 PM // 13:06

I'm going paragon all the way, it seems that the dervish will be overused.... new wammo, anyone?

Paragon will be the main support character if it has the tpe of skills i'm thinking. P/mo, P/Me will both be support chars

Dj Tano · Jul 19, 2006, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Ill try both...

so let me see.. because someone has problems mastering a class, means that no one else should play it?

I adore my Rt. I love the skills. And i dont think it's nice when people say "remove Rt cause i dont like it, and i cant be bothered to learn the skills".

What is the point of playing classes that are going to get outdated as the game progresses on?

Hmm let me see.. because they are fun? If i want career i'll stick to real life. Or play WoW.

...as for new classes, Paragon

Devilish i dont like...

I'll give both a shot as secondaries unless I see something that gives me a big incentive to use a primary stat from one of them. I'll probably start with a MoPar.

I shall be playing the Dervish. However, I will try the Paragon. Doesn't seem too thrilling, though.

The one bad thing about being a Dervish, however, will be trying to get into groups. It will be like the Assassin situation; the n00bs will make everyone, who is a Dervish, look bad.

Another thing is those dumb little preteen "goths" will be all "zomg! a hood and scythe! lolz DEATH!" and dye the robes black. -_-

I am particularly interested in being a Dervish because of how unique and amazing they seem. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dervish
I also love the robes....as long as they aren't black. *rolls eyes*

Cirian · Jul 19, 2006, 02:29 PM // 14:29

Male Dervish

Thailii Monkey · Jul 19, 2006, 02:32 PM // 14:32

ill try the Paragon , but proberly delete it after a few days.

Jetdoc · Jul 19, 2006, 02:37 PM // 14:37

To date, I've been trying to use a primary and secondary that I haven't before to get a feel for both classes at the same time.

I have a W/Mo, N/Me and now a Rt/E.

So that leaves me with Assassin, Dervish, Ranger and Paragon to play with. I don't think the Paragon/Dervish combo will be desireable, so I will likely try to pair up Assassin and Ranger with those two.

Maybe Paragon/Ranger (for ranged supremacy) and Assassin/Dervish (for melee supremacy)...

I am guessing on what the attributes for the dervish will be....

Scythe mastery
Agility (it said that the class will use its agility to dodge attacks as a support fighter)
Healing (said it will have self-healing skills)
And this one will be whatever its primary class attribute will be. i have NO CLUE what it could be right now... maybe it's agility... maybe its like... "Each point in agility gives you a +1% chance to dodge any attack and to avoid damage) or something like that o.o just a guess.

I suggested Agility for when Sins were being made for Factions. With their wild dancing it would fit the class.

I think both of these classes will be great. The dervish is going to fill the melee aoe void. The sythe being a long range weapon should be able to hit mulitple targets. The paragon having shouts to buff the party which cannot be removed. We all know how good charge is.

I don't care about the classes not evolving with each chapter. They give use 2 slots each chapter so none of my slots are wasted. Slots can also be purchased. I just hope there is more than 1 skill bar you can run with these classes unlike the Sin/Rit.

sgtclarity · Jul 19, 2006, 02:49 PM // 14:49

None thus so far, Factions was tbh a disappointment for 50 dollars. Sorry to say it, but a couple pvp/pve missions do not equate to Prophecies' huge amount of content. Anyway, sorry to beat the dead horse. I won't be buying Nightfall until it gets some good feedback, because if Nightfall doesn't cut it with my peers I will be ending my Guild Wars legacy with Factions.
In any case, the Dervish look nice.

Alotia Slipfeet · Jul 19, 2006, 02:59 PM // 14:59

Both, although I much more interested in what the ranger amour is going to look like

Orinn · Jul 19, 2006, 03:29 PM // 15:29

Probably a dervish, but after the letdown that was assassins, I'm not getting too excited unless I like it AFTER playing it.

I wholeheartedly concur. That was the deciding factor for me.

Kais Unduli · Jul 19, 2006, 04:06 PM // 16:06

I'll try both of them out, but the paragon seems more suited to the style I play then the dervish does. I already have 2 melee characters (warrior and assassin) so I don't really need another.

Of course, after the preview I could totally change my mind on the subject.

If I don't make one of each, then I can finally start a necro.

felinette · Jul 19, 2006, 04:17 PM // 16:17

I'll try out both if they have a PvE preview weekend. As far as permanent characters go when chapter 3 is released, I haven't decided if I'll buy chapter 3. If the PvE portion gets positive reviews and I buy it, I'll probably stick with the core classes since they're supported in all chapters, unless either of the new classes really rocks my boat.

Vengal · Jul 19, 2006, 04:17 PM // 16:17

Neither. No sense in bothering with either class if they arent gonna progress past the current chapter they're in.

eudas · Jul 19, 2006, 05:04 PM // 17:04

I'll be playing Warrior with various secondaries/builds, capping skills like mad, as always. =)

frickett · Jul 19, 2006, 05:08 PM // 17:08

I will probably try a dervish, they seem like natural farmers, The paragon seems more like a pvp kinda profession so I don't think I will make a primary. I might change my monk's secondary to paragon so I can get the skills.
