Katalyzt said:I'm inclined to say a Ogre Dire Lord, but that's based on having very little knowledge of what a DL will be, exactly. I'm fairly certain they will be evil-ish tanks, but at this point that is purly conjecture. I've heard they're specifically NOT ShadowKnights, but I have no clue what that means. The SK was one of my favorite classes in EQ, so I'm trying to get somewhere close to that once again. I'd be excited to see feign death, lifetaps, skelle pet, and maybe a little harm touch, but we'll see; the one thing I gather from the class description is there will likely be fear for the DL class.
I believe I read they said it was more of a cross between the EQ Shadowknight and the VG Dread Knight.

Kinda surprised to see there are no Elven Clerics.
Yeah that is surprising now that you mention it. You'd think they'd have Elf Clerics and no Elf Shamans, like EQ.
Currently, shamans have 5 race options and Clerics only have 3.
"Like EQ" is not a real justification.
I'm not a lore freak, but with the state of development we're in, I still believe it's the best place to go when determining whether the race/class restrictions are logical. It is puzzling when considering the lore for the Elves that we've been provided. There must be some sort of reason they haven't disclosed yet.
I am considering changing from the traditional Ogre a Dire Lord to the Dark Myr Direlord. Might be unique.
Of course, I may have to save the Dark Myr for my Necromancer. I don't like to play the same race twice.
Right now, I will do the following in order:
Dire Lord - Ogre or Dark Myr
Enchanter - Gnome or Dwarf
Necromancer - Human or Dark Myr
Main Char will be Human Monk, which unless yall threw a serious curveball was my intention all along. Also looking at a halfling ranger or rogue, Dark Myr Dire Lord , and maybe an Archai Monk depending on how much specialization/differentiation is available for the classes.
I'm attracted to Tanking in MMO's so my thoughts are, Ogre Dire Lord, Halfling Warrior and Dwarf Paladin. I'll play each combo during testing to get a feel for which class I enjoy the most.
I definitely want to play a Tank class so it will be interesting to see how each one plays. It's exciting!

Halfling Enchannters -
They are trapped in an illusion. They are charming and beguiling. Everythnig about them screams "enchanter"
If that doesn't come out, then probably a halfling bard or druid.

I don't mean to sound rude, but I really don't know what you mean by "no large humanoid races". Every one of the races is humanoid; that is having human characteristics or form. More specifically, two legs, two arms, a head atop shoulders, etc.
Since I can only assume that you don't want to play an Ogre, what did you have in mind? Something like a giant? Like Barbarians maybe?
