So just got the game and plan on goin Elyos on Siel server. Took a look at trading and see alot of posts for there. Probably starting off as i think templar or gladiator. Would anyone have any reasons to choose one over the other besides the fact id probably get groups faster being a tank (dont think glads tank).

Installing now so ill edit the post with my ign once i get started if youd like to add me or play =D. Gonna be playing a while tonight and pretty active around this time + in general.

DL:TR (for those who think its long)

Starting Elyos on Siel Server
Templar or Gladiator?

You want choice templar/gladiator becasue of group find better chance? I will suggest you read about all classes and choice the best for you and which you like most. Anyway if you rly look for group getting chance you should choice cleric or chanter

ya i have i just wanted ppls opinions on maybe certain perks of the 2 classes PvE and PvP wise. Im definitely going with a melee class though. Never been one to heal or be the magic type unless its like a necro or druid.

If i get into the game (probably will but lack of job=suck atm) i wanna make an asassin or ranger.

Chanter is great support class. Many buffs for yourself and party + heal/res skill + offensive skills. I choice this char and i am not complain. No problems with group find or solo play. Anyway my first class was ranger. Nice dmg and stuff, but you will have fun with this class after 3x lv when you reach better skills -.- Assassin is great for solo play, harder to find party, but nice gank character. Ofcourse it's up to you, but i suggest you to read aion forums and comments about characters

Finaly playing a day later haha. Took forever to clear up some tech issues.

IGN: Kody on Siel server

I believe its "tl;dr" I have no idea as to what DL;TR means... Didn't long; to read?

Temps:

pros
easy groups
extremely broken 1v1 pvp (endgame)
inescapable judgement can be fun
nearly invincible

cons
bad DPS. Gets marginally better endgame
slow solo'er
takes a long time to level
Dropped out of some DP groups in favor of a glad tank

Gladiator:

pros
some fun AoE PvP and stumbles
Taken as the tank class in DP runs oftentimes over templar
Can kill fairly quickly

cons
hard to find groups
solo farming isn't amazing but its decent enough with the right build
pretty much garbage at low levels for pvp
