If you're looking to have fun & get into some fights, go with some sort of thief. You could even make one dexxer & one mage/hybrid thief, or make your "scout" and have it be a thief as well. A thief can make a good all around and fun character to play, but I'd recommend starting out as a dexxer/thief with hiding.O,and i want some sort of pvp character,not pvm.(not strictly pvp,but a template that deals with other players in some way)
i generally find having a precast recall whenever possible while pvming on a dexer will get you out of 99% of situations. except that one time where the pks just happen to run in as you apply a bandage. when you're in the middle of fighting a lich and get jumped by a mage PK, you dont have time to go on the offense so you can put some distance between you.Psilo wrote:IMO Cheap is not the way to play.
You don't have to play expensive but if you play cheap you're going to lose money.
Think about how many times you would have lived if you had a few cure pots, maybe a heal or 1. Maybe a few refreshes. A dexer without refreshes has less defense than a dexer with 5 refreshes because they will have less offense on a mage. A good strat for a dexer is to get a mage low, then run if you don't wanna fight. Well, if you have 30 stamina because a mage comboed you then you're not going to be hitting very fast at all until you drink a red pot.
The mage will have to cast gheal and while you run away you'll be ahead nicely.
There's no reason to go the cheap way, that's trashy. Show some dignity and carry stuff that will help you survive in pve AND pvp.
