Class Population?

Hey all! Brand new player here. I see that the faction balance is relatively even but I am curious about how well represented all the classes are since there are so many. I am likely to go Order at first so I am wondering what the most/least popular classes are for them?

I always like to pick underplayed classes as long as they aren't too underpowered to add a bit of uniqueness. Thanks!

Strangely underpowered classes are played less in Return of Reckoning.

Like:
Ranged SW
Ranged SH

Apart from that each class and spec has a place. Except DPS AM maybe. The only one who loves them are your DPS AM Buddy you go with into an SC to the joy of all the other Order Players in the SC who were happy 20 seconds earlier for going in a SC with 2 order healers. ;)

That is good to know, then. I suppose I'll just pick what seems cool and find my place that way! I do love me some Dwarfs but the High Elves look neat too... I know that's a grudging.

you should ask around about classes and specs/playstyles your intrested in, as much as i agree with the rule of cool for all things warhammer

you dont want to invest into a class to like lvl 40 renown rank 50 or something and realize your just not having fun with a class that you invested soo much time in

granted there is no subscription so no real sunk cost but still it feels bad

Yeah I've been looking into some of the various class threads to get an idea what is out there. Right now I'm torn between Archmage, White Lion, and possibly Slayer. I did briefly play long ago and had an Engineer which was fun but a bit complicated.

That is good to know. Healers do always seem to be in demand in MMOs.

play an am that's a class so you won't have any natural enemies she is currently out of balance (more than 3 years) their attacks cannot be removed and their damage is not to be despised that they cause..!!
if you want to play an OP class then I recommend it to you ..
