I'm an FPS player, I do WASD all day long for hours, I don't really see the issue here heh.

It's no different than having to type a research paper. I suppose if you're a monkey with shitty typing skills it would suck but /shrug.

Fuck bro, if you don't like pushing buttons on the keyboard why the hell do you play PC games?? Seems a console would be more fitting for ya.....

Lol this pretty much sums it up.

Oopo

I don't understand how it's pushing any more buttons than eq2. When you play eq2 are you not constantly spamming shit?

For you seasoned beta AoC'ers...is the Dark Templar decent or what? I like the idea of being able to wear heavy armor and lifetap and stuff...to be honest he sounds like an amped up Shadowknight. But if someone could fill me in on that, I would appreciate it.

Also, for the priest classes, is the Priest of Mitra really as pitiful at any sort of melee combat like the AoC class description makes him appear to be? I am pretty sure I'd like to play a priest class, but am not sure yet. Any help would be awesome.

And speaking of which, any of you guys or gals have a beta key left to give up? I'll trade a fancy recipe of your choosing!

EQ2 fails.

I haven't played the dark templar myself, all I know of them is what I read in the Global Chat. I heard some lowbie DT's saying the class sucks, then the higher level guys saying the class doesnt really get good til level 60+ (when they get some nice class defining abilities). People say the class solo's well.

In raid situations, DT will be the second class tank to the Guardian, but more defensive than the Conq. Only DT and Guard get to use shields, Conq can not. However, Guards can wear full plate, where DT and Conq can only wear heavy armor (one step down from full plate).

So the full plate + shield pretty much locks in the guard as single target raid tank. But in groups, DT should be fine. Supposedly DT is better at AOE tanking, and there are a lot of multi mob encounters, becuase it's hard as hell to single pull anything in AoC.

PVP wise, I have no clue. I don't pay much attention to the PVP stuff. I'm more of a PVE person, and PVP when I'm bored hehe.

You can set up some different builds for your class though, here is a link so you can check out the feat skil trees:

As for priest class, I don't know anything about them really. I played a Tempest of set to about level 10, was kinda cool. ToS can use a two handed sword and turn into a badass looking demon.

PoM had a lot of upgrades and changes in the past few patchs. Haven't tried it since, but sounds like the class was revamped quite a bit.

Flipmode

PoM is like a healer/chanter hybrid. Tons of buffs and CC spells and the ability to heal. All classes can do DPS but some do it faster than others.

All in all looking foward to launch. Dont let the naysayers fool you. This is not Vanguard and all games have some lag. Funcom has been pretty responsive with patches to the client. This last patch pretty much improved everyones performance a ton and they dont even have SLi any of the good stuff totally on yet.
