If you did not happen to know we are playing the side of Destruction (Greenskins, Chaos, and Dark Elves). In Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning there will be 4 basic archetypes. Each of the 24 classes (12 order classes and 12 destruction classes) fits into one of these.

Tank (Chaos Chosen, Black Orc, Dark Elf Black Guard)
Role: Close Combat Support
Armor: Heavy
Fighting Style: Slow But Powerful
Engagement Style: Multiple Opponents
Specialty: Ally Protection
Strongest Against: Light Armor Melee
Weakest Against: Ranged

Melee DPS ( Chaos Marauder, Orc Choppa, Witch Elf )
Role: Close Combat Damage
Armor: Light
Fighting Style: Rapid High Damage
Engagement Style: One-on-One Positional
Specialty: Single Target Offense
Strongest Against: Ranged
Weakest Against: Heavy Armor

Ranged DPS ( Chaos Magus. Goblin Squig Herder, Dark Elf ??????? )
Role: Ranged Damage
Armor: Extremely Light
Fighting Style: Magic & Missle Weapons
Engagement Style: Single & Multiple Opponents
Specialty: Ranged Damage
Strongest Against: Heavy Armor
Weakest Against: Close Combat

Healer/Support ( Chaos Zealot, Goblin Shaman, Dark Elf ??????? )
Role: Group Support
Armor: Moderate
Fighting Style: Primary Healer & Buffs
Engagement Style: One-on-One
Specialty: Ally Restoration
Strongest Against: Ranged
Weakest Against: Close Combat

If you already know what class you want to play, or at least what archetype please make a reply to this thread so we can get a rough idea of what our balance is looking like thus far. If you on the fence between a couple thats cool, if you end up changing it later thats cool. We are just trying to get a rough idea of what everyone is thinking so far. That way we can recruit a few for a specific archetype now if need be. The sooner we start the better off we will be as we can weed out anyone that sucks ass that we are test fitting.

As people reply ill add names in a list form here for each archetype. (And NO i do not think this would be easier as a poll)


Tank
Wintermute (Phoebus) = Chaos Chosen



Melee DPS



Ranged DPS



Healer/ Support
