My first char in Hibernia on Uthgard, was a Mentalist, which I really enjoyed playing all the way to 50! That will most likely be my caster choice if we end up in Hibernia, so have no fear, pom is here!

I can't really recommend Genesis as an ideal 'permanent' server, but it's not a bad place to go to mess around with various classes just to see which class has what range of abilities, especially since they have a higher than normal XP rate

I think with the way the planning for an Uthgard guild is going, people will end up making random classes just to get a feel for the server (and the game for the newcomers.) Some people think that unless you are in a 'setup group' with precise amount of specific class abilities, as well as perfectly geared out in SC'd gear, then you won't be able to compete - but that's not true at all. I've gone through many tours on Uthgard from 2006-2013, wore gear which most people would call obsolette, and participated in such groups that don't look good on paper, yet still managed to be quite successful in RvR. So the first 'generation' of chars we'll be leveling will most likely be to get a foothold within the game, and then make the actual 'mains' afterwards.

The point I'm trying to make is, it doesn't take a perfect group and/or perfect gear-set to be able to have a good time on Uthgard, all it takes is good teamwork and practice! Although, having support classes opens up the possibilities for the rest of the group to be able to compete with a wider range of enemy groups.

Is there anyone here reading these posts, who feels comfortable in the shoes of a Healer type, or a main Crowd Control type of class? It's not a requirement, but will certainly make things much easier for leveling and mid-lvl RvR.
