My brother signed up for the open beta, then went on an install for his work that took him out of state for 3 days so I got to play it pretty much straight through with the occasional break for work and eating.
I started about 6 guys and got them all to level 15 in the 3 days. One of my friends came over and made a guy that he played for a while.
I like the rogue the most currently. The combo system is really neat. It is very much like the diablo 2 assassin, whereas the have a combo build up skill then a finisher move after you have built it up to its max.
I played a warrior. Not much to talk about with them. They are the standard wack'em class that all games have. They are a bit different in this game though seeings how their attacks work off of rage. Your rage builds up with every attack you do and you can execute special attacks you have at the cost of your rage. It also degenrates if you dont use it.
I thought paladins are cool also. Not only do they have the aura's like D2 but they also have seals that they can use on themselves and party members to do different effects. They have some cool melee skills and also get some clerical healing spells at a slower rate the the priest.
Tried the mage. They are just your standard cast spells that cause damage quickly caster. The priest is also your standard healer like other mmorpg's.
The Shaman is about the same as other games. They cast spells that hurt, spells that heal, and have totems that you can cast that will help/effect your party or monsters.
I watched my friend play a hunter but he never got high enough to get a pet. They are the ranged attackers in the game. The dwarves get rifles, which are cool cause you can get different types of ammo like exploding shells. The also get skills to use for the ranged stuff, and some skills for melee.
I didnt get a chance to play a druid, but I wasnt really interested to play it also, so no loss their.
Game handles very well. I did not get dropped once at all while I played it. It wasnt laggy when I played it either. The graphics are phenominal and the intro video is awe-inspiring.
Definitely grabbing it on the 23rd and becoming reobsessed with another game.
