Feeling Blue On Blue, Considering Red

[PDX0621]

As the title states, I'm starting to get bored on Blue. Not all the time, but every now and then. Rather than creating another Blue alt and facing the same issues all over, I'm thinking about checking out Red. No idea what race / class to make though. I kind of like the idea of a Cleric, since I had a mid 50's one back on live back in the day. Not knowing much about Red, are Clerics / healers in as much demand as on Blue? How about for PvP? I imagine other than stunning and getting the hell outta there, they aren't very viable.

Clerics are great pvp healers. 2 DAs, the best heals, give them high survivability. Master corner cAsting, and positioning and it goes up even more. When healing isn't needed, just dispel, stuns rarely land.

clrs always in demand on red, both for pve and pvp

get to 55+ and any guild will probs just hand you an epic

[Colgate]

pretty much any class is viable in PvP if you play them correctly and understand their role

like zalaerian said, clerics are very good

[PDX0621]

Baller. Sounds good. Might check it out tonight.

[Tameth]

There has been recent chatter about the over abundance of clerics while grouping and leveling with a desperate lack of tank classes. Food for thought

[Vokhine]

I used to play blue and it was boring af then I switched to red and saved a bunch of money on my car insurance!!!

I've got a Blue warrior and rogue. I'm melee'd out at this point! Only melee I'd consider rolling on Red would probably be ranger.

Hell yes, I didn't realize Red had fringe benefits!

[Supaskillz]

Make a cleric, I have an enchanter. You can heal me and my pet, and when we get PVP we can both gate and call it a victory.

This guy gets it!

[quido]

Everyone wants to have a cleric, but very few want to play a cleric on red. Most of those clerics leveling will likely just be someone's rez/buff bot.

[Supaskillz]

Support classes are tough b/c you cant really do much other than survive when people attack you at the bank or while running to meet a group, which seems to happen more than group v group, but it is fun when you have the group stuff happen.

[iruinedyourday]

I saw virtually no enchanters last month, but it always changes.

Every class has its PvP strats, im gona do my best to translate that into something that makes some semblance of sense and doesn't totally make everyone throw their glass of milk in the air as they start responding with rage filled posts about how wrong I am about their favorite class.

Paladin - Defender, Midfielder - can last a very long time in pvp, can give clutch CH's to the striker of their squad.
Shadow Knight- Midfielder, Striker - Can get YT's, does good damage, goes for HT kills & can beat someone. (though now that Im thinking, is a SK dps that much better than a paladin? I assumed it had to be, but without considering HarmTouch is it?)
Ranger - Midfielder - Decnet DPS, tracking, & the ever rare bow make them strong additions to a kill force, but that ever rare bow is rare as ever.
Rogue - Striker - This class is all about walking up to a group and killing as much if not all of it. Get those Backstabs in and get YT's.
Monk - Striker, Midfielder - Not as efficent as a rogue for demolishing a group, but in the right hands can be a very devastating opponent. Can grind through proponents quickly.
Warrior - Tank, Midfielder - This class when geared properly just muscles his way around doing as much DPS as it can, grinding down forces, taking hits and resisting nukes.
Cleric - Defender - Heals & Heals - support stuns etc, a higher priority target than a paladin, but still able to stay alive with immunity spells and quick thinking
Druid - Hunter, Striker, Defender - This class is a PVP jack of all trades, can deal burst dps that can burn you down, can run hide and heal to regroup, can port to hunt.
Shaman - Defender, Midfielder - Shaman is a suport heavy class, you buff A LOT, so much so that you dont usualy have mana in group situations to actually be able to DPS, but in solo situations is able to tank and grind down HPS making them great in groups, and decent solo.
Enchanter - Stunner - Great for Debuffing and locking people so maximum dps on a target.
Mage - Midfielder - Pet can be a nuisance and unless fighting good pvpers can deal some good damage. Able to be countered if a good pvper is in range or at the ready.
Necromancer - Midfielder, Defender - Simmilar to mage, but a wider range of utility abilities make them buffers & healers in sticky situations.
Wizard - Midfielder, Hunter - Great at DPS from hidden locations, puts them less at the front lines, but still picking & choosing who they want to kill.
Bard - Attacker, Midfielder - for obvious reasons the bard is valuble in any group, but out in open areas they are able to hunt and kill, alone in doors and they will prob not last long.

This is just my opinion, and my opinion is not set in stone, I Could be right and I could be wrong about any of this! So don't hate me because of that, hate me because I am beautiful IRL

Not to make you repeat your blue experience OP, but a druid is a pretty good first choice on red.

[Farzo]

Druid good starting class.

Easy 2 PvP on.

Can port. Can heal groups 1-55.

Have SoW, levitate, lots of buffs to stack (I.e resist buffs).

Have track that once you start tracking it locks on target till the zone/die/camp

Make an Erudite SK

[PDX0621]

Whether pally or cleric, it's gonna be Erudite all the way.

[pink grapefruit]

Cazic erudite gets see invis quest item. Very useful here on red, especially for a class that doesn't get see invis.

About to venture forth into Red for the first time. Please go gentle, and use copious amounts of lube.

PS - Made a Erudite Cleric, what do you guys think about these for starting point allocation?

STR - 70
STA - 85
AGI - 75
DEX - 73
WIS - 100

Dex on a cleric? No, don't do that. I would go 25 wis 5 sta, unless you really want that 5 agi. Shouldn't be too hard to keep yourself at 75 agi with gear anyway but if you want to avoid ac hit when naked that's understandable.

[PDX0621]

Rerolled. 20 Wis, 5 Sta, 5 Agi

[PDX0621]

Didn't even make it to level 2 before I ran into a guy named Happynoodleboy who hooked me up with some +2 wis rings and Batfang Headband. So far so good!

[Madbad]

that's so you level in to range faster
