Hello
I'm an old-time AO player, I'm excited to see the game getting some love from the developers. I've come back a few times over the years for short spells but this time I felt excited to give AO a real long haul go.
I'm having trouble settling on a class. Maybe some of you more experienced players out there can make a suggestion.
My original 2001 character was a doctor and inspired my love of healers through many MMO's. However I've been playing AO for a couple of weeks now and I've spent more time sitting LFT than I have doing anything else. It's depressing and frustrating and I've decided to throw in the towel and try a new class.
What I like:
I like bringing support to teams. I want a team to be glad to have me not feel like they're dragging me along for no good reason. I know being a good player and fun comrade in arms should be enough but usually people are also looking for a more tangible benefit.
I need to be able to solo effectively. No one likes not being able to get things done in their limited amount of play time, teams seem to be few and far between and therefore soloing more of a necessity than a luxury.
What I dislike:
I'm not a pvper at all so I don't need to put any thought into that area.
I get really edgy if I can't heal at least a little bit, heals are my security blanket.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this and for your consideration.
I'm looking forward to hearing some suggestions.
Thanks!
