To Play or Not to Play

Right now we have 1 of each class, by chance I believe. We are playing the Asmodian race (horde)

Your more than welcome to roll any class you like. We need them all.

Aion is fun its not a cruise control kind of game like wow, you really have to pay attention especially as a caster or you will die quick and often. I find the game to be a lot of fun when grouped with other AK, the solo grind is tough as you cant just kill anything and everything like in wow. The economy is rough hopefully that gets a little better with time though. You learn to not try things above your skill level as you lose xp when you die and you can buy it back when you res. Really enjoying this one though.

OMG Rangers are hard to play... Far from the huntard fashion in wow. I like how its not just point and spray.

So if I was to play, would you guys want me to tank or heal?

Oh don't kid yourself, you'll be doing both and rolling on every drop for either anyway.

To be honest at this point there isnt a "Need" for any specific class. Its too early to tell. From the sound of your last post somewhere or another you really enjoyed playing a healer, go ahead and do that, I would find it hard to believe there is ever a MMO where healers wont be needed or in short supply for end game PVE or PVP.

Here's my two cents.

If you really truly don't have a preference, go healer. We have at least 3 Templars right now, and only one Cleric. We do have 2 Chanters (I am one of them), but Chanters really can't be considered main healers - it's a bit like having a ret pally heal. Since a lot of this game (including endgame) focuses on PvP, I imagine healers are going to be more useful than tanks.

As a side note, if you do decide to roll a Cleric, be comforted by the fact that they are a ZILLION times easier to level than any healer in WoW. Clerics wear mail and use a mace and shield. They are very hard to kill and have enough DPS that questing is not a huge pain.

So...this vs. wow...I only have time for 1 mmorpg in my life, or my GF will strangle me. I want to play w/ the majority of the 'cool kids' lol, but I don't wanna abandon AK in wow if Aion is just gonna be a side item, but it does sound fun. I guess what I'm asking is if those who currently play wow and aion are going to eventually just play one of them, and if so, which one?
