Hunter (if available)

I liked elementalist in Ep3, try it out. Also Archer is a killer but have manaproblems so you need to know how to play with. Mage en Sorcerers are casters, they are good. Liked sorc more then mage in Ep3. Knight, zerk really hard to make XP and farm. But, you can make it good at higher level and have the right stuff. Hunter, nah... I dont like it haha, your choice. Ranger is bad in ep3... About swashbuckler... I dont know, never saw it in ep3 haha.

Goodluck.

I also enjoyed Ele. No cast till 62 though.

Knight was slow to level - really slow, but as I remember, once you got high level with some good gear, you were to be feared.

Hunter could be a real pain to other players, but hard to level, and not much damage.

Ranger was so so, but the very first Level 99 in Evengarda WAS in fact a Ranger!
Was mostly a Farmer ranger and lots of botting I heard.

Sorc was a good farmer and all around good to play and level with. No mana problems of course and a good Sorc could actually make more Mana than they used. Sell that shit.

Mage - dunno

Zerk - dunno.

Most players from that era remember playing their toons with glitched uniques so memories may be a bit skewed. Everyone was doing it cause if you didn't, you were disadvantaged.

On the subject of uniques - don't count on just going out to casually drop a Blode or something. Many players NEVER dropped Blode/Shuta/Kark. Drop rate was supposed to be something like 1/10,000. Fights for good farming spots could be epic.

Cast Uniques will be sought after once again. Funnily enough, lots of Luke neckies ended up in the Auction House. Same with Shockers, and very rarely a Blode or Shuta as well when some total noob got lucky and did not realise what he had dropped. Ha.

See you ingame Amber, if you are the same Amber that used to Bug me all the time about playing Orbiters . Krakatoa here :)

I don't agree that ranger is weak in episode 3, ranger is actually good tank and can deal a lot dmg, ranger is good. Mage i rlly don't know, for sure antimagic is one of the best skills in game but... Archer is great, mana problems you can't fix but still can be very good. Hunter is good against some classes, 1v1 will pwn archer for sure and can kill sorc and aswell, but mage can fuck him. Ele is great for farm and also that stun + heal is crazy combination, also pets are very strong in this episode. Sorc is amazing for farm, also halt and res debuff makes him very good in pvp. About critters idk rlly, i know that knight can be good tank, also if you build him right (there is some tricks :D) you can make him killer aswell. About zerk not rlly sure, don't remember rlly. Also ranger could be a critter aswell, its not bad option against some casters :D

I was a mage through a long time lol.

Mages were good in ep2, in ep3 they had a lot of disadvantage versus other casters, less cast speed, lame debuffs (antimagic was pretty weak before webzen, no sb debuffs as well). 2 of the 4 ep3 attacks had a damned long cooldown, no other class had this BS.

yeah... i will skip mages this time.

If you want a caster class in Ep3, choose Sorc instead of mage. Well, that's my choice.

i don't agree, mage can own hunter easily, can kill sorc aswell if halt fails, its not bad class for sure

That's your choice. Like i said, not everyone have the same thoughts.

we are back to no SB ranger in this episode, many used to this char because of her OPness in HH episode, let see how they handle with it now, but I guess they will make an sorc or archer instead :)

Ranger has rlly high resis, with 40%+ sb can tank pretty much.
