What class is your main and why?

in TERA PC - General Discussion
I've been playing this game for roughly a month and a half. The combat mechanics have me hooked and are way more involved than WoW ever was. However, I've yet to pick a main. People keep telling me the classes play way differently between leveling and level 65, so I've been leveling all of the classes up.

I have:

Ninja - 65
Reaper - 65
Gunner - 65
Lancer - 65
Brawler - 65
Sorcerer - 65
Warrior - 62
Archer - 65
Mystic - 65
Slayer - 61
Priest - made multiple level 40ish, then deleted.
Berserker - never made it past lvl 8

I am currently switching between my Slayer and Warrior, but I am starting to feel burned out and I am looking for some opinions. I know they are all subjective and may not apply to me at all, but I'm just hoping for something to rekindle my interest in one of the classes. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually get them all to 65 and find Tera isn't the game for me after all.

    To be honest, I realize that it's fast/easy to level up in TERA now, but if you've leveled that many characters in 1 1/2 months (particularly if you're leveling them side-by-side), it doesn't surprise me that you're feeling a bit burnt out. Perhaps it's better just to take it easy and play whatever you feel like. Try doing some starter end-game dungeons and killing some BAMs on the Island of Dawn to see how you like it.

    (I suppose I am the wrong person to ask because I don't really have a main and just play whatever character I feel like, even once they're at 65.)

    You've leveled most of the classes, take a break from it and just pick 1 or 2 to focus on.

    The long I have for a main and keep going back is my sorcerer made that one like 3 years ago yes it seam hard for some people but it just feel right to me what i'm trying to say is play what class that feel right and feel fun to you and it also desponds on what you looking for do you want hard class easy class range melee it really all comes down what you find fun in like what counterpoint say run some dungeons or do some iod bams and see if you want to have as a main.

    Also meant to say that dps meter not allowed so you don't have to worry about that .

    Since you've been alternating melee classes you should give a ranged class a shot. Sorcerer is getting an awesome revamp coming soon. I main Archer and love it. Have tried other classes but I just can't bring myself to stick with them because the Archer's playstyle best suits me.
    @counterpoint made a good observation as well about burning out leveling all those characters. Pick a ranged class and go kill stuff have fun and stop working so hard. Lol

    I did IM up to Timescape and got full slaughter on all of the 65's.

    In the beginning I was just playing to find a class I enjoyed playing, regardless of the content. That said, I definitely prefer PVE content.

    I don't really care about DPS meters much as long as I'm not dragging down the party. So far this hasn't happened because I research all of the rotations, guides, etc...before I roll each class. The only one I've struggled with is the Warrior because I just got Scythe and I'm having trouble fitting that into my existing rotation.

    I guess I'm not really looking for someone else to pick my main for me. I just want to know why other people main their classes. Maybe there is something special about a class that I missed, because all I see now are rotations and skill priorities, haha.

    Since the very first beta, i been a Lancer. The gameplay of Lancer was so different from traditional mmos, that it got my attention pretty quick. Since then i have tried the other classes, all of them, but i always come back to Lancer.

    They way a Lancer is played, is just so satisfying for me. Unlike a traditional mmo tank that just idles and cast aggro spells, Lancers have to constantly be attacking and being aware of the boss moves. On top of that, getting close and personal with the enemy boss has its feeling of adrenaline.

    Lately i been getting into sorc tho, is the only dps class i havent tested yet, and so far so good., but my main will always be a Lancer, no matter what crappy overpowered class (ahemmmm Brawlers) comes my way.

    Also, the sound effects of Lancer attacking are much more attractive than hearing a tapping sound like the brawler when it punches. I like the sound of steel against steel.

    I main priest sub mystic 'cause even if I have to deal with minor changes to each class every so often it's nothing compared to the huge DPS changes that happen constantly and change the entire game (from a DPS standpoint). I used to be really into berserker for instance, back during the VM1/VM2/VM3 days, those were great zerking days lemme tell you...

    but this way i don't have to stress over dps meters, people not wanting me in groups solely based on class, etc. healers also have less stress on the need for gear, PVE-wise. ez life man.

    I gear up w/e I feel like playing the most, but I'll always fall back to my warrior.

    I suggest, you should try and find a balance between each role: tank/dps/support
    The gearing process will be longer and harder, but you will learn your gameplay much efficient.
    I think most guild will welcome a player who capable of rotating between each role.
    You can try warrior tank, slayer dps & any healer will do.

    before it was sorceress

    now it is brawler, because she is so fun B)
  • YamazukiYamazuki ✭✭✭✭✭
    I don't really main a class. I play all of them aside for Reaper depending on the instance and what the group has.
  • Thanatos375Thanatos375 ✭
    I didn't choose Mystic. Mystic chose me. Although I do putz around with other classes, that's the one I always end up going back to.
  • IlythienIlythien ✭✭
    Slayer is my main, because I like to play slayer the most, it's the most stylish class. Also, I like high elf female the most.
    I also like ninja and reaper a lot. Maybe if they could be high elf female they would be able to be my favorite class.

    Castanic Female Warrior as a main, the Why? Because they have the most stylish anger issues
