Which City-State (or simply Class) do you think will make the most sense for Au Ra?

Interesting note, I thought; despite what the descriptions about their Tribe say, the Hellsguard actually have some of the lowest physical stats around, and as someone who hasn't actually done the Warrior quest (I've not even heard anything about it), literally my only interactions with Hellsguards have been as Ul'dahn nobles.

Either way... Yeah, I still can't decide. It's difficult choose which City-State, and difficult choosing which Class, which makes it even harder to make the single "perfect" choice. I dunno, you guys mind riffing off the idea a bit, and giving you opinions a little more? What makes more sense, or what sort of "personality" either choice conveys, if anything?

Not nobles, but people who worked their way up.

Suggestion the first. Thaum/BLM to Dark Knight. Dark Knight looks like its going to be a DOM class. What has been revealed that makes it unique is that its magic heavy. With that being the case the closest dark magic class is thaum/blm so Learn the powers of Darkness. Then learn some armor glad. Gives you both. with my "fallen noble" theory you could easily be using Uldah as a chance to get a second start... of course Uldah in 3.0 might have been completely reordered.

Suggestion the Second. Arcanist/maraud to dark knight. Not as strong a connection to the Dark, but Arcanists are much more rational and almost scientific about magic if that's a direction you want to go, limsa also gives you a place to build a fortune and lets you aggressively attack Garleans to make money via Privateering.
