Hello everyone,

Future Xbox player here with some questions. So of course the beta comes out next weekend and I am trying to get myself prepared for what I’m getting Into. I’m a Mmo player and know most details about how the game will be. I just need help determining what the latest trends are. I know it may be different on the Xbox but the more you know doesn’t hurt. So if anyone and everyone could shoot me some links on current metas and counters and what not. Like best classes for DPS and tanks. Since I usually main DPS and fool around tanking when I’m bored. But what’s the best melee dps what’s the best ranged dps and what’s the best solo dps?

Also what are some of the more important things to pay attention to when first starting out on this journey. What resources should I aim to acquire first that will help me in the endgame? Cause I know there always is one. Should I get an early start to crafting/ enchanting and what not. Give me everything you’ve got (that’s current because everything I come up with in a search is 6 months old)

Basically what I’m asking is.... help me out with the latest!!

    Can’t say much about class meta, but no upgrade materials that you obtain during 1-64 will be used during your time at 65, with possible exception of some higher tier blacksmithing obtainable material. From 65 on, everything you had used before will be essentially useless, since the basic endgame set that you get for free has more than double the stats of a 64 weapon/armor.

    Edit: Gold. Gold is an important crafting material. Farm as much as you can during the grind.

    It's hard to compare classes, as the open beta will be a couple of patches behind PC version and we don't know the exact build number yet. Some classes underwent major changes in the last few months.

    You do not need to collect anything during leveling. The gap between leveling drops and endgame drops is so huge that you won't even notice that you saved up something. Crafting is only useful at endgame.

    In Tera leveling is fast and difficulty level increases quickly soon after reaching 65. Leveling is more like big tutorial and does not show what the game has to offer in terms of both PvE and PvP. Leveling dungeons do not have complicated mechs, you are only supposed to learn your class and dodging basic attacks there.

    Warrior can be both DPS (aggresive stance) and tank (defensive stance). But I wouldn't recommend it as 1st class - it's the hardest one to learn with very high skill cap and learning curve. I'd suggest brawler - it's an aggresive tank that has little support skills but contributes by its high DPS. It's also the easiest class to learn and one of the best for soloing (block+plate armor+damage output close to pure DPS classes).

    Just keep in mind that this one is VERY subjective approach to the topic.
