I'm pretty interested in how some of the less obviously fitting classes like Ranger/Tank, Mage/Tank, Bard/Warrior, etc., will do. I hope many people will play them and that they are viable.
While Melee can feel a bit slower, they do have some DPS spells that can pack a punch, and with the heals they have an insanely high rate of survivability. Cleric is the only S tier archetype right now IMO
@@RitchieSH Really? Xillin and a lot of other people are saying Bard is the only S tier rn, and fairly better than Cleric. Interesting. Which one has more capability as an offensive caster you think, Bard or Cleric?
@@Auld17 Bard is up there for sure.. It has some pretty cool abilities that give you shields/mana-regen/speed buffs and all of that good stuff, but they are soft and squishy, where as clerics can take a hit. I think the Bard has a much more fun kit though and more options, where as if you want to do DPS as a cleric you really need to pick a specific path. So bard probably has more capability, but overall I still think if you put a Cleric up against a bard in 1v1 the Cleric would come out on top
@@RitchieSH OK, thanks for the info. I'll be playing soon for the first time, so I'm not sure what to main given how disappointing Mage turned out to be (AoE Elementalist), so considering Bard, Ranger, and Cleric. Hopefully Ranger's fixed by the time I get in. This is a lot of helpful info bro, thank you.
I think I'm going to play a Bladedancer, but I have to test multiple classes and wait for the Rogue/Summoner to come out before making a choice. I'll 100% play Empyrean though.
They gotta rename Tank. Tank sounds so lame lol. Sentinal, Warden, Paragon, Guardian, Vanguard, Captain, Sentry, Steward, Conservator, Champion, Protector, Keeper.... like any of these would be better than Tank.
lol you said it is your job to give feedback to intrepid, ehm should they then not pay you instead of you paying $120, bucks wich is more then the released game will cost on launch 🙂
@@basilias_Ligyron seems like you don’t know what a good game is. This is a terrible showing of what 8 years and 100s of millions of dollars has been spent. It’s not like that even have to think up any gameplay loops of their own or animations. They can just modify everything from other games, you can’t even auto attack off skills on cooldown you have to press a separate button just to friggin auto attack or try and right click(which is janky as hell).
@@Deathspade66 I’ll type it again, the auto attack doesn’t work unless the skill is off cooldown. Yes you can auto attack but after using the skill. I should be able to auto attack by default even if any skill I press is off or on cooldown. It’s a basic MMO feature lacking in this “game”. It’s dumb that auto attack has a whole separate button.

yep, this game gives me Dark Age of Camelot vibes.. I think Devs know what I mean. Looking forward to finally play it
I’m so HYPED for next week I have to do my college work for the week before Friday. But the grind to arch wizard is it.
Great comprehensive video!
Thanks!
OoOOof it's going to be hard to choose between cleric and bard
Scryer or Soul Weaver might be the answers
Mage only for me.
Mage is fire... no pun intended
@@JohnAPrescott Mage is cracked. You'll love it. Literally unstoppable
@Crix_Gaming ive been playing since they opened this up!.I do love it!
@@JohnAPrescott Easily the dopest looking mage i've seen in any game
Go ahead and give cleric a melee ability Steven
Ranger (+ tank secondary), intriguing combo. 🤞 It works

Ritchie, how does Cleric feel as a caster DPS/healer hybrid? Does it feel viable, or do you have to melee as cleric if you wanna hybrid?
While Melee can feel a bit slower, they do have some DPS spells that can pack a punch, and with the heals they have an insanely high rate of survivability. Cleric is the only S tier archetype right now IMO

Tanky heals for me..I will heal your face off if you attack me and mine.

There is only TANK and only Dünir😎

Is there lock target without spell aiming?

The archtype names are intentionally vague and generic, the classes are where the more interesting names are
@@asinine8373 i understand. Tank still sucks in that context. Might as well renamed Cleric to "Healer"
i beleive its Vanguard now
@@minx8334 thank god
@@jamesn3122no is not still tank it will change when you chose second archtype
OP
Mage for me 😍
TIBIA, I want my lost years back
@@DreshAshes Tibia gave me the best years of my life
Can Ranger camouflage be used in combat? And will it cause attacker to drop target?
Didnt work for me lol. The wolf kept bashing.
I'm not sure how a Tank/Mage or Mage/Tank will play out
Great video my man, ignore the salty haters they suck at the game✌️
Truth hurts I know
@CestPasFaux-kt9zq cope seethe etc etc
Im really interested in summoner
do the mage and cleric have to use wands?
nope! No weapon restrictions for archetypes
Mage+Mage-->Archimage ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

The alpha disclaimer aside, this is terrible for 8 years of development. They should have never went into alpha with this disaster.
@@VictoryOrValhalla14 L take.
Its great and way better then expected. Seems like you dont know what an alpha is and have never played alpha's before.
