Hey guys. I was looking for shards for Warhammer online because I miss the RvR and stumbled upon a recent reddit thread about Uthgard. I played DAoC for a little back in the day, but I seriously don't remember a single thing from it... So It will be a brandnew experience for me.

I like playing the underdogs in games. I like being on the side with less people/weaker than the rest. I don't know why, but in every game with factions/faction PvP I always choose the underdog. Can anyone please tell me which faction currently is the underdog/weakest/one with the lesser amount of people of the 3 that need the most help? Really appreciate a response hopefully by tonight, I am on the screen to choose a faction and wish to know before I make one!

Theres got be a faction that is always "overpowered"/highest pop on a every server for this game, or atleast I assume so. So would like to know before I make my character!



-----------------
Edit: So it seems Hib is the underdog. Please, please scroll down snd read my second psot.

My guess would be Hibernia =)

Lol thanks. Coincidentally I made a Hib(Way of the Grove or something?) character. I went through each realm sub-forum and kept a mental note of activity/how many recent posts etc and figured Hib was lowest pop thanks.


Alao question 2. I havent played yet but made a Slayva(I forgot name?) Way of grove. Put like 10 in int 5 in Qui rest in Dex I think. Did I mess up?

Also is Animist good for RvR/PvP? I love summoners and really miss my necomancer in Diablo... Is that a bad summoner class for PvP? If yes, is there any good rvR summoner classes for RvR/PvP? Just so confusdd I dont wanna play the game with a messed up character esp for RvR. That will be the primary thing I will be doing is PvP and I guess PvE for gear?

Also if Animist is good for RvR, what spec to go? I just want a good PvP character... losing my mind!
Also if Animist is bad, what class should I go/attributes? I just dont know what attributes to choose for each class... So confused. I dont even understand half of the attribute meanings. Or even which attribute for which class, because from the looks of it not all casters/mages use same attributes...

Sylvan? =)

Qui is for swing speed and you wont be swinging the staff as an animist. Personally i would go 15 dex (for casting speed) and 10 int (for damage).

Animist is fun for keep defense and farming gear. Not sure how well they are wanted in rvr groups though. Don't think they are very common in groups.

When you played Warhammer did you like to run around and 6 man? My guild, Stag Party, did and we just ran around helping the zerg by picking of defenders and engaging other 6 man groups trying to show up for defense.

If you did not partake in the 6man culture over on WH then you're fine to play whatever you want really. As long as there is a keep raid or pick up group forming you'll be fine playing animist as they are great for zerg fights and keep / relic sieges.

Plus, animist are tied for best pve character with enchanter on Hib, and arguably they are better.


However, if you did run around in a 6man group. You'll want to reroll something that an 8man crew would like here.

Blademaster - Melee duel wielding dps
Bard - very difficult support char
Druid - Kind of easy support char, buff - heal till dead
Hero - primary tank for hib that mostly peels for casters and support in group and then joins the dps train when available.
Eld - Most desired caster as Utility. makes hib groups good
Chanter - less desired than an eld but able to setup amazing Light dmg nukes with their heat debuff
Mentalist - even less desired but can squeeze into a group as light spec because of their DDs, pet and demezz

That pool of characters is rather limited compared to the remaining:

Valewalker
Animist
Nightshade
Ranger
Warden
Champion

These charters are not really wanted in the 8man scene.

What did you play over on WH?

Thanks mate. Nope never did 6m. We just all zerged mainly lol. I could only play 2-3 months MAX because computer died thrn. Took me awhile to get a new computer, like not even a year ago I got one. Never did 6man I dont know why. Saddens me summoners arent really wanted... What should I do? I love PvP/RvR. Not really worried about 8v8 if there will still be PvP/RvR , thats not just me vs 2+.

I was a magus.
