Well, that was along weekend!
Took all Destro characters to levels 7-9 to get a feel for them to see if I like them, except Disciple of Khaine and Chosen. They were very dull imho. Witch Hunter I also found to be very "meh", as you're doing ok, untill someone decides to hit you, then you die very fast.
Sorceress was AWESOME in pvp, just let your.....err....overload thing....build up to 100% and then you're sitting 2 shotting people
. But yeah, solo it was too dull for me to carry on, its just a matter of firing off two err...."fireball things" at the mob then wandering along to the next one. Magus wasnt so bad either.....but I couldnt get used to the DPS after sorceress
. And that horror thing was just a neverending pile of crap.
Of the healers I liked Shaman the best. Zealot was just too pure healing for my liking I thing, didnt really seem to stand out from a generic character in my head for me to want to play. Not like the wee green chap with the mushroom belt. He's awesome, and runs in a funny manner! Only problem with him was that in RvR I kept getting really crap groups that refused to kill the enemy priests, let alone go around the farms of turrets that dwarfs threw up....so it was just a constant grind of healing the retards standing getting pummelled. I couldn't be bothered with that.
That left me with Squig Herder, Black Ork and Maurader. These three I all like a lot, but am beginning to go off the Black Orc a lot. Its damage just isnt there, sure you can take a complete kicking and still be running around bashing elfs on the head, but you dont semm to actually kill anything until a mate comes along to help you.
The Squig herder I really really like, but you keep reading all these things on forums about them being gimped, and its true, they are lacking in burst damage......and it I think it reminds me too much of a hunter from WoW for me to fully enjoy. Might give the wee green chap another go tomorow though.
Finally, the Maurader. I love this character, with his shape changing arm. Been having hours of fun today in RvR just running around behind groups and nuking a couple of priests before dying. They always try and leg it, and then they die, Impale owns! He's a bit of an ugly brute mind, and looks like someone has temped him out of a street gutter to the fight with the promise of a bit of change for a cuppa tea afterwards.
Reckon I'll continue with the Maurader for now, unless of course that little green chap with the farting ball of teeth sufficiently impresses me tomorow.
Anyone here got a higher level Squig Herder or Maurader and would like to comment on how it plays?
