Hi all,

I am a casual scrub, I don't really care about 8v8 and all I want to do is keep defense and zerg surfing. I am not very familiar with this era so I could use your advice on class selection.
Which one of these classes would be the best for casual rvr?
Animist
Fire/ice wiz
Scout (scout pre-archery changes was my favorite class of all times but heard its not good in this patch. also leveling it, ewww)
Theurg
pbaoe sm ( I know pbaoe sucks at zerg surfing but it should be good in defence if it goes through walls)
Thane

Thanks in advance.

imo if that is what you are going to do just pick whatever you feel like... in my experience zerg groups are not so picky anyways

Well I can play any of those classes, but I have no idea how viable they are in this patch. I mean there is no point playing scout if i can't kill solo casters right?

Scouts should be able to two or three shot casters solo I would think

except for the Thane all the others will work better for keep defense. I'd do a Theurg from that list. Though personally my keep camper is the Wiz. So a ice wiz, mana chanter and Sm all work too. And easiest to lvl.

Based on your requirements I would recommend to go for a Fire Wizard:

- nice in keep fights, nice in zerg --- in the latter especially as soon as you got "Volcanic Pillar" RA

- total no brainer: Bolt, Bolt, DD DD DD DD DD ... now comes the occasional Root, followed by Bolt Bolt DD DD DD... You can play Fire Wizard in any mental state.

- cheap to equip

- simple RA pattern: Volcanic Pillar, then anything that boosts your damage

- group friendly from exping point of view as you can simply exp to 50 with ice spec
