I was thinking about checking out the WAR endless free trial just for kicks but I'm not sure about what side/race/class to get into. Is WAR worth getting into for at least the free trial for now? I heard it had its troubles when it started out. I was hoping for some suggestions on what to be. I usually like to play hybrid classes. My main in WoW was a druid if that helps any. Never having played WAR and not really knowing the lore just looking at the classes on their website didn't give me that great of an idea of what to play. Also what server should I get on or I heard there may be only one or a few servers up. Just looking to pass the time next week and any suggestions or tips would be greatly appriciated.

Order: Side I play on cause, destruction is just weak.(can't even cause an empire to fall)

mDPS: most ppl say slayer is the best
Witch Hunter(single target, use normal attacks to build accusation to then launch executions at reduced cost and more power/ can go invisible)
White Lion(with pet, no real aoe, drain AP fast, but has hi damage output with pet next to him)
Slayer(aoe/single target, berserk, as you take and give damage you deal and take more)

rDPS:most say BW is best...i like Enggi most and SW second...BW are boring.
Bright Wiz(got Dot/Single burst/ and aoe...only one or two aoe for low lvl tho, natural crit/burn chance)
Shadow Warrior(attack on the run/single dot and burst, has stances buffs that change your tactics)
Engi(stationary turret pet, good burst with rifle, good aoe and support with granards(mid range) BW and SW are good for people who only press a few buttons, Enggies own all if you use all their utilites...and you can do a good crit build too)

Tank:most ppl say KoBS are the best...But in low levels i say IB wins out
Knight of the blazing sun(have auras, you can have 3 running at a time if you twist them, if you don't you should)
Iron Breaker(build grudges like warrior rage, At low levels they do great dps)
Sword Master(you have stances. doing attacks gets you to the next stance with opens the next abuilties = attack chains. Can do stick aoe spirit damage and spirit debuff later levels)

healer:Your probably going for a WP. low level mele WP are very powerful, Late levels you need hi rr to be any good. for low level healer nothing beats RP
Warrior priest (hybrid healer, does mdps damage to heal. gets few and expensive heals/ few utilies early on. has 2 AP sources one that powers attacks and one for heals)
Rune Priest (main healer, gets an instant heal on the run, if your an active heal and like it you can rule. Also there is a tank and dps build, I have seen RP out dps lvl 80 BW and Enggies)
Archmage(hybrid rdps and healer. you have heals and damage spells, doing only one type builds up points so that when you switch you get cheaper or more powerful spells, also they can melt face)

Destruction equivalents:
Witch Hunter = Witch elf..most say the elf is better
White Lion = Murader (kinda, they have no pet, but get the stances(mutations) buff like SW)
Slayer = Choppa

Bright Wizard = Sorcerer...I hear BW are more powerful but blowup more..i think it is hearsay
Shadow Warrior = Squig herder (kinda, SH has a pet like WL)
Enggi = Magis

KotBS = chosen(they do spirit damage and have a spirit debuff...makes for get damage low levels since you can get their resist down to 0)
Iron Breaker = Black Guard(IB buff them selfs and a bit a debuff, BG do debuff and a bit of buff)
Sword Master = Black Ork

Warrior Priest = Disciple of Khaine(they say DoK is better mele healer)
Rune Priest = Zealot
Archmage = Shaman

My main was a WP, but I have played every class.
for rpd enggi was funnest cause i built him as a rifle/crit. people just died and since then they have been buffed
for mdps I liked WH. being invisible is a great defense.
Tank it is a hard call between KotBS and IB, but IB takes the cake. has more utility spells.

If you're playing on NA servers, play on Gorfang, you can have both Order and Destruction on the same server though there is an 8 hour timer for switching, not a big deal really.There is a European server that allows both factions on the same account, but you'd have to check the Mythic site to find out which one, I can't remember.

You can pick your trial servers, just not the ones that have been locked out of the trial program. I'm not sure any servers are trial restricted anymore.

Well they have changed the rules. apparently I am on BL. but I can't start on another server...guess I need a new account to do that.Tell me side and server and name so I can know who to kill. I don't know what I will be running if I switch.. Not a healer. Kinda tired of it, but everyone else sucks at it.
