Needing help getting back into the game

[Frizze]

I was about to spend probly 10 minutes typing out a guide to re-teaching yourself to play your old class, in case it was something that interested you but you thought might be too much work. Then i remembered that with the expansion dropping in 3 weeks everyone will be re-learning everything all over again soon. The classes getting minor changes shouldnt take too long to get the hang of, but a few are almost being torn down and rebuilt from the bottom up. So id say do what seems fun, and re-assess your situation in 3 weeks.

Archer is easier then pugilist. That said, perfect monk play might be easier then perfect bard play. At its highest levels bard has a lot of micro-managing to do involving buffs songs and damage output(snap-shotting dots, optimal song and buff rotations, aoe vs single target skills, optimal trash-pull LB usage, etc). Tanking isnt as hard as its made out to be - dealing with other players is probly the worst part. Same for healing(incase conjurer/white mage might be on your radar).

oh thank you, I didn't know some classes were being reworked. I'll have to look into that. Everything just seems so daunting, and I didn't want to go into a duty and put other people through my noobness lol. I'm at a post HW dungeon in the MSQ. I'll look for the reworks and see the changes. I did want to play Dancer when it came out so I'll check that out too. Thank you guys
