What calling will you roll first on release? poll

What calling are you guys planning on rolling on release.

I've been messing with the soul spec websites since the end of beta4.

During beta4 i realized the Mage calling wasnt my deal.

It took me a bit to decided between the other three.

Rogues have quite a bit of versatility, Ranged dps, tank, melee dps, support. Overall they won out over the Cleric and Warrior callings.

so im rolling a rogue first, how about you guys?

    Mage here. . .we're gonna be late bloomers, but once we blossom, dont cry.  :)  Clerics are early bloomers, then droop with age. :)

    check out the Rogue tank soul and the cleric tank and melee dps souls.

    You might be surprised at what the callings offer. Ill be rolling my rogue, then a cleric, warrior and if i have time a mage for the necro/lock spec.

     Im personally looking to have the reaver soul in whatever build I take, was an SK in EQ, and the reaver seems to be a pritty close fit to Sk's. Plus I think it will be a good soul to RP an evil warlord lol.

    Either a Rogue or Mage... I mastered my 20 mage so im pretty sure I might choose that one. If so im going to go Stormcaller, Pyromancer, and im not sure on the last one... still havnt found a solid 3rd soul.

    Its come down to a Warrior or Rogue for me,but I cant decide which one will be my main...

     

    Next beta is taking forever,I need to try more combinations!

    Cleric or Warrior.  I usually play as a healer in MMOs, but I've started to enjoy the tanking role more lately. 

  • MimiEZMimiEZ Member Posts: 225

    Rogue, either Marksman or Ranger.

    Oops did i pop the 8 second CC immunity, oops did you die, sowwy.

    Anyways, I'll be warrior or cleric. Hopefully I can get a pocket healer.

    Drop the next-gen marketing and people will argue if the game itself has merit.

    going warrior. I really enjoyed tanking the rifts. Paladin to start.

     

    Normally I like mages but since LOTRO I have really enjoyed the visceral sword users.

    *grins*  I never die!  Not with a 80% snare, and 50% increased run speed buff on me :) I will be to another zone before you can  even say "die" :P

    Warrior. I almost always play melee classes first. I find them the easiest to start with while I'm learning a game, and frankly I just like melee. Thought I might like cleric; fighting AND healing, but so far not enjoying that class. I liked the rogue and the mage tho so will get to those eventually cause I love many alts.

    Mage, I always seem to favor clothy glass cannon types. Ranger being my second choice.

    Probably start with warlock, then add chloromancer and top off with necro.

    Mage - Elementalist

    Haven't decided on the last two souls. I miss my old EQ magician and it seems this class is similar in some ways.
