Post - Age Of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is GOLD.


Game went GOLD yesterday, release is set for May 20.

For those who are thinking of buying this, which class do you have your eye on?

This Part I description of all classes (Warriors+Priests), Part II (Rogues+Mages) is tommorow.

http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/868/868568p1.html

The classes for tommorow are Assasin, Barbarian, Ranger, Necromancer, Herald of Xotli and Demonologist.

Personally I am considering a Conqueror (best DPS Dual Wield or 2-handed) Guardian (best Tank, heaviest armor) or ranger (archer).

But that's not possible..

I've mostly been tanks in games like that so I'll probably have to try something new when I get it..

Sure you can be Barbarian.

From the class desciption the Barbarian will focus either on knockbacks, crowd control or single Target DPS, depending on whether he uses 2-handed or dual wields. Its weakness is no magic (Obviously, as Conan HATES Magic) better hitpoints than other rogues, but lower hitpoints compared to the Fighter class. He also cannot use heavy armor.

Hes a bit like a WWII cruiser, designed to dish-out heavy punishment, but cannot take it.

Im gotta preorder the moment I recieve my new credit card.

Part II is out of the class definitions

What class do you think you'll play?

I have been trying to get on the beta I have subscribed to all the open beta invites I can find and I still haven't got picked.

I have no idea really, haven't "studied" the different classes yet..

I've also applied to the BETA several times, but no luck there either...

Hm, maybe I should pre-order the Collectors Edition instead.
That Drinking Cape alone seems to be worth it..
