Age of Conan

so which of the priests is best for pvp. crowd control, survivabilty, dps, heals...

i heard mitra is very good in pve, how is he in pvp, and what are the others like in pvp? guess not many people know since they havent lvl yet :)

if only the official forums would be working :(

To be honest, a Disc/Holy Priest.

is that a joke, couse its not funny...it cant decide what class to play, but i defently want to go with one of the priests, so i was wandering if any people can tell me which do they think is best. now i read all of the aoc class forums, saw some interesting arguments, but suprisingly i didnt find a single topic for priests, which is strange seeing as they are somewhat overpowerd. so i just wanted to know diferent peoples opinions on diferent tipes of priests, preferibly, in comparison to eachother. now i know the shaman is mele and that the other two are casters. but who can heal better, the group or himself. does the shamans armor make him tougher, or is ToS healing a better way to go for survivability. who has better dps, more crowd control, knocbacks, mana isues...anything you know, please post, would help me alot

I am playing a ToS now (played PoM in beta), and in my opinion at the current level (35) he is very powerful in PvP. When specced correctly (Lightning) you get some very hardhitting spells, and even some instant nukes.

You also get a 0.5 sec cast CC spell that stuns the target, with a cool animation of snakes wrapping around him.

I've been jumped by some higher levels and came out as the winner quite often.

Since some will say this game isnt balanced (again)...i call them whiners anyway...

Pick class you will enjoy playing most. Because when you enjoy some class youll learn to get max out of it.

I rolled ranger, and i can tell you that its good choice.

AOC pvp is a bit different than maybe what ppl are seeing in WoW. Other day some POM asked me to duel him. DUEL ?!? wtf...but ok...i took "chalenge" and guy starting to walk towards me and i hit hide button. Then dude starts flaming me about "what am i doing?" why did i hide etc etc. So i showed up on top of some big rock and killed him. Then i got flamed again about he wasnt ready etc etc...i mean wtf...do i need to stand in one spot and w8 untill he get to melee range and then start duel?

Bottom line is that all classes are good, just depend on playstile. For ranger i can say ambush fun that you never saw before.

POM meleeing? There is something wrong with this picture.

I am not 100% familiar with how rangers work in AoC. But quite often a ranger cannot use his ranged attack if  you are in melee range, so it makes sense to use this to your own advantage...

bear shaman are not very good at pvp. roll tos/pom.

No dead zone in aoc. They are in need of balance (along side barbarians), and the pple on the official forums going 'No nerfs l2p' pretty much all are playing the current fotm.

But to the topic - ToS or PoM. Stay clear of the shaman, their weak 1-20, pick up 20-30 and then slump back down. I find them really easy to kill and most of my guildmates just think of them as a free kill.

Maybe at 50 they pick up again?

"Bottom line is that all classes are good, just depend on playstile."

Currently that is total and utter bollocks. They need to cut the fotm classes down to size and buff the classes that are currently lacking. Until they do so the whole pvp xp thing is better off remaining disabled.
