Exciting! It's a pet class to boot and a tank . How intriguing
It looks like a lot of fun, the giant pet robots are concerning though. Anyone who played City of Heroes/City of Villains remembers what it was like when the Masterminds would bring out all their robots. When you had two or more Masterminds with all their bots out, it was pretty darn crowded in a dungeon instance.
Perhaps it's not a class that encourages you to have all of them out at once, and it's more situational. Ethawn hasn't seen the video yet but I know he will like the Battle Suit. He was leaning toward that class. :)
Yeah, you can definitely feel the City of Heroes/Villains vibe on some of this WildStar stuff. A lot of the CC abilities remind me of Masterminds, and I think the Stalker actually uses some of the exact same claws sound effects as a CoH claws-scrapper.
As expected, I am interested in Engineer. So my Exile main in WildStar will likely be a Granok Warrior or Engineer, although I'll be trying ALL the classes and may get surprised once the rubber meets the road.
After this reveal I will admit the engineer does look very interesting. I like ranged tanks. Plus the pets is a cool approach to tanking.
However, since I know I am a 1 main person I think my mail will still be a spellslinger. I am still debating about Aurin or Mordesh. I like the small species and that would be Aurin. Plus the tail! Hmmmm....
