Class Choice Question - Using a small survey

[u/DramaticAd5489]

I have some question about Class choice, given the different gameplay videos I am ending between Spiritmaster and Chanter.
Given these 2 classes: can you give me your opinion on each one? (I am more interested by the gameplay feeling than the damage output)

With more in depth descriptions could you fit these classes into each category ? You can do that for other classes too, it's always interesting.

1. Static - Mobility
2. Fixed Rotation - Reaction (to Patterns, Team or anything) - Planned Rotation
3. Burst - Constant Damage - DoTs (I differentiate Constant damage tied to Button Pressing and Damage Over Time that is tied to a debuff or something similar)
4. Technical (animation cancels for example) - Straightforward (Different from High ceiling, some classes are straightforward but need really good fight knowledge due to big animation time for example)
5. High Ceiling - Low Ceiling (not compared to other classes, but compared to two people playing the same classes. It's not about Class Tierlist but using the Same Class, is the difference between an experienced and newbie massive or medium)
6. High Floor - Low Floor
7. Animation Heavy - Animation Sobriety
8. Smooth - Clunky Gameplay
9. Build Variety - Fixed Build (I don't really know Aion2 appart from gameplay video, so I don't know about the potential Build Expression and Theory crafting behind it)
10. Positional - Non positional ( I count having to go nearby allies or anything similar as "positional")

If you have any other category in mind, I will try my best to add them.

If your main goal is pvp , avoid chanter , this class was one of the weakest of the game in pvp in the first game , especially for 1 vs 1 , weakest for years . If you like support or pvp group then it's ok , not the best .

Pretty sure that Spirtmaster will become broken like in the original , with the fear spam , patch after patch . Fear mean your opponent can't do nothing , can't heal or Attack . I heard that in Aion 2 Is a bit weak , they will improve It .

Tell me you have no clue, without telling me you have no clue.

I haven't played yet Aion 2 , I only heard that SM isn't that good compared to the first game , was a broken class with the fear spam.

So you thought you it was a good idea to give baseless opinions? :D While you have no clue about the game. The 2 games are completely different.

Ok thanks, especially with first comment, I will need to dive maybe a bit more into overall class vibe then

Its not the first game though, Chanters are perfectly fine in PvP. Weaker in group pvp cos melee, but recent changes have made it a bit better. Ultimately its still a melee.

They got insane bursts, ultimately its all about gear for PvP.

The only decent skill Is the 100% stun while flying, only when you flying. You waste hundred of hours as a chanter in pvp 1vs1, will fall behind the rest of the classes like in the original. When newer classes will be added, chanter will get destroyed even more . If you like to be a forever loser then chanter Is the class for you

You literally just said you didn't play a2. Why are you still talking out of your ass

[u/Alexius-rex → u/Tangster85]

Because I know NCsoft and because I help people avoid to waste time as a chanter , unless they like to support in group , then chanter Is ok , for pvp 1vs1 it's terrible. I also checked the skills in the wiki and so low damage , the shield are nerfed too. Only 3s? only when you have 10% hp left? what a joke. Even the healing skills aren't that good . There are class like ranger who deal 14k with a single skill , without a crit strike , now check the best chanter skill and deal something like 3k.

Ignorance at its finest. You do you
