Im just intressted to see what classes everone looking to main and alt.
Would love if you want to take this poll and pick wich class you going to main and wich you going to Alt.
There was a talk about maining classes and alt classes in Alpha and Beta test in Champion's Hangout , so im intressting to see what people looking to main when live version come and what alts we might see out there

Cool visual poll. Although the class reveals haven't been officially announced, you may want to add necromancer and bard to the poll as well. Some people will or wont play the classes regardless of seeing the reveal or experiencing the gameplay. I know that the majority of my decision is going to be made based on gameplay/enjoyability of the class, followed very closely by the influence of the restrictions of the allowed races, then by character appearance and lastly in my priority comes the RP because if the other elements don't vibe with me, I will lose immersion and invevitably stop roleplaying and just start grinding (which I want to avoid if possible). With that said, I'll likely main Warrior, Paladin, Druid or Bard (depending on above criteria) and alt one (or two) of those I don't main.
I love self-healing tanks, so direlord is looking good to me! I'm also interested in enchanter and rogue-I'll have to try both out and figure out which one I like better. Sneaky-sneaky-backstab is kind of my default playstyle in most games, but I've never played a class that focuses as heavily on CC as enchanter, and it seems interesting!
Looks like there'll be a serious shortage of (melee) DPS classes! I guess that may be because the class reveals for them weren't as extensive as for the later revealed classes. So people don't have good a good idea yet what monks, rogues or rangers will be able to do. With more info coming, I would expect the numbers to shift quite a bit.
For myself, I'm leaning towards Paladin or Summoner currently.
I think i will be maining a cleric or enchanter, and alting a warrior or ranger / druid.
Mainly because i think that the cleric and enchanter are 'most' worthwhile in groups, as shown in past there's only really 1 true healer and 1 true CC'er. (not that i don't value shaman, druid or bard, but history has taught me that they are more support than they are specialized in the intended field). And ofcourse, with a variety of tanks, when the healer is good, the chosen tank type doesn't really matter. Where the opposite doesn't apply as easily.
Ranger / Druid is mainly for being a hybrid. In most games i've played they are both team and solo players. This would give me something to do when i wouldn't be able to find a group. The warrior alt is just a means of staying true to my history in MMO's.
I voted unfortunately I think the poll will be weighted incorrectly. Since most pleople only have 1 "main" and perhaps a few alts, I would hazard a guess that most people selected "not playing" for the rest, wich makes it look like people aren't going to play any of the classes :)
We'll have to ignore the "won't play" options since they don't really give a clear picture, and focus instead on the percentage of main and alt. interesting results...seems that the support classes have the most votes for mains, followed by a few of the DPS and tank classes.
Personally, I plan on probably a paladin and/or rogue. it also depends on how the classes play overall once the game is available...the class concepts all sound great, but if one or more are clumsy and don't feel good, I probably won't play those.

How is the direlord is a new concept?
This isn't the first tank class that wields a 2 handed weapon nor wears mails armor, nor regens his own health as past of his tanking mechanic.
What is it about that makes you feel it's something new?
Now when we have had some people voting, it looks like it quite balance of classes, except rogue.
Shaman 15 %
Enchanter 15 %
Druid 11.5 %
Paladin 10.5 %
Cleric 7 %
Wizard 7 %
Summoner 7 %
Dire Lord 7 %
Ranger 7 %
Warrior 6 %
Monk 6 %
Rogue 1 %
This is just from all votes i have taken in from diffrent threads that voted in my polls.

I wonder if you could also associate certain classes appealing to certain personalities and those more inclined to play melee/DPS type characters are less likely to participate in polls on forums? :)
Looks like healers will be really well represented (33.5%) with tanks comfortable with a good 23.5% ensuring fluid core groups compositions. Enchanters does even seem close to one per six man party.
I feel a bit sad for the under represented rogues but I feel their skill haven't got the time to shine for now, and just as warriors, they feel pretty "classic". No idea why monks are low however, and clerics might not yet have unveiled their special tricks to be chosen for now.

Rogues always been a shitty class in like every game. No Ability to solo at all. Melee DPS meaning you are in the danger Zone all the time. And thats coming from a Rogue Main in Vanguard. Give them some Abilities that make them wanted in groups. Not just DPS. Something every group desires. Or a nice Ability to solo some. Lifetap Poisons , some nice dodging abilities, stuns ...

If only you could gain xp by pickpocketing guards huh?
I am torn. I really want to main a druid but I feel like everyone will be doing that. I also love the shaman wolf pet and the rangers speed buffs... But then the rogue's sneaking and pickpocketing seems so useful! But if bard comes out in time for launch, it's an easy decision.
