TERA Free-to-Play

Slayer is the easiest class. Once you get this skill called Overhand Strike at 18(??) you'll just faceroll everything. It's also one of the hardest hitting classes.

Archer is not bad leveling and can solo just as well. They will be receiving some balancing this patch so their MP issues are supposed to be "fixed"... and they even received iframes for their Backstep.

But yeah, down right power the Slayers win. I haven't leveled a Slayer but I never got them past 30 because I found their play style boring. I much prefer my Archer.

If any of you guys are planning on playing and would like some help feel free to catch me in-game. I'm on the Tempest Reach server. But starting on the new one with the rest isn't a bad idea either.

Anything to be said about the caster classes? Any of them good for soloing?

Sorcerer is the only real caster in the game. Once you get Fireblast (main AoE) and Mana Barrier (absorbs dmg) you can solo things very easily. Still pretty easy getting there just have to be a bit more careful.

Then there are the two supports, the Priest and Mystic. The Priest is your big healer and the Mystic may not have huge heals but they provide great support and probably the most preferred healer for skilled groups with their crit aura (increases crit rate by 100%)

Healing in this game is actually fun. You move around avoiding bosses while casting heals which you lock-on. While at lower levels you may be purely healing... in end-game dungeons you play crucial roles in parties such as providing MP support, buffs, and usually the key person in boss mechanics.

Priest is easy to solo level while the Mystic may want a leveling partner.

This is our group doing the end-game instance, this was our first kill. It's from a Sorcerer POV and he's got his rotations down. He doesn't have his best disc yet but the damage is there.

There's the Lancer (me), Sorcerer, Slayer, Warrior and Priest in this one.
