I have officially decided that the Warrior Priest I have been toying around with during this early release of the new tank classes will become my main. I love the engineer class. But I should have known better than to go against my norm with MMO classes. I started WAR with a Desciple of Khaine and should’ve stayed with its mirror when we switched to Order. I have always enjoyed hybrid tank classes. I like to be in the thick of the fight, but I like to have utility. I love the utility of the Engineer, but I’ve never been fond of having my backside handed to me on a sterling platter. What saves the class is the knockbacks and the barbed wire. OH! is that stuff fun. But I always felt like I was missing something by being removed from the center of the fight.
I do feel like im going kindof bandwagon with this change, which I hate. I have always tried to play classes on the road less traveled, which was a big reason I played a Friar on DAoC (little did I know that they would become evade gods and be nearly impossible to hit if equipped correctly). Waralytics says that WPs make up about 10% of the 20+ population on Volkmar wheras the Engineer sits around 6% at any given time. BUT, I think I justify it by playing a healer, and because I have a wickid fun time playing it.
See you in game!
