no tanks, no healers, no DSP = FAIL.

Sorry but wtf people.

Ok so the game might not be ruined just because of this but how can you call that a number one reason why the game is gonna be good. Dunno if you realized but tanks, healers, and DPS = rock, paper, scissors, and this is what makes DAOC good.

There are tanks ... there is no dedicated healer. Its not really fun to play DAoC where there isn't any Bards or Druids (as an example). You just have people waiting around to have an ideal group make up which isn't fun at all. DAoC was good because of the 3 realm system, especially when it was very exclusive. I just wish I could have old Emain back.

I know it would be nice to be able to group with absolutely anyone, but I think it becomes a lot harder to make quality PvP when this happens. WAR did this a bit too, trying to make every class have a full set of abilities on their own and most classes as hybrids without a lot of situational weaknesses and strenghts, but it was one of the many reasons why RvR was just incredibly boring.

IMO healers ruin PVP, its always about who was getting healed. no it will actually be about the fighter and his skillz. defensive abilitys will actually be important now.


Every class has a support spec so you dont have to have a group waiting around for 1 class to make or break the group. and they way the classes can support are much better imo than traditional, 1 tanks, and 1 guy sitting back healing. here is a group fighting a boss ( warroir with shield holding aggr, elemetalist using water spec to nuke/heal. a necro debuffing teh target and feeding health to everyone. and engeener with aa heal turrent up, a guarding attacking with damage block chants up....alot of combined support power.

there are still heal spells and group utility, just not a dedicated healer archtype. as long as self heals don't get out of control like they did on WAR or with wardens or valks to a lesser extant, i don't see a problem with self heals + some grp heals.

i don't button mash when I'm on MA or assisting on my tanks/casters, but sometimes, it sure feels that way. instead of just hitting PTT and saying, preheals on XXXXXX! i might have to micro manage a tad bit more than just prekiting.


my only question (for me anyways) is will it be failboat casting bar for everything, or will there be some sort of interrupt system in place.

Isn't it just three server clusters, with the same races, classes, etc just fighting?

If so, not even close to RvR =o) just PvP with a shiny twist.
