    Seriously, all the classes look to be quite fun. I'd say it's hard to make a mistake. Pick whatever class looks to have the playstyle you're after. Do you want DPS, Healing, Tanking? That's the bigger question.
    I'll be doing Ranger myself.
    Also, there has not been a pass on balancing yet, so things will change over the months for sure.

    Fighter definitely the class for me! I spent a lot of the time in Pre-Alpha 2 just lvling and pvping and i can safely say that Fighters are terrifying up close and personal, heavy hitters for sure. I was in the low lvl Grem area just trying to keep the peace from the high lvl players griefing low lvl players and i killed most of them in 2-3 hits. But there was one Ranger player who had so many snares it was almost impossible to catch them so yeah kiting a fighter is definitely our biggest weakness.
