best class for newbie?

[Nxaza]

downloading the game atm, whats the best class for a newbie? playing from australia so my ping will be abit high too

[mush]

probably want to play easy class, which in my opinion is archer or lancer

Due to high ping, I wouldn't play archer, or lancer. Archer's rapid fire is ping dependant, and fires slower the higher your ping goes. Their other main skills are charge up skills, and take longer to fire the higher your ping is as well. Lancer faces desync issues with onslaught with ping higher than 100.

If you want to tank, brawler is the ping friendliest and easy to play. For dps, ninja, sorc, gunner, and valk are good for newbies imo. They're all playable at 200-300 ping, and you will face a dps loss due to high ping, but it's better than nothing. The other classes I haven't mentioned either require skill chaining which becomes harder to do the higher your ping goes, or more ping dependant skills. Healers are out of the question unless you're confident in your abilities to time heals correctly with high ping.

Gunner and Sorcerer are both not terribly ping-dependent (even 250-300ms is really not game-breaking at all). Less need to dodge (or block) attacks than with the melee classes.

Also, lots of Oceanic players on the Tempest Reach and Mount Tyrannas (PvP) servers.

with high ping id go sorcerer and ninja for easiest, if you want more challenge gunner, then warrior if you can master doing rotation with 5-6 skills warriors are best dps class you can play is still highest in dps and they arent' ping reliant

lancer, archers are ping reliant just like person said above, reaper you need low ping as well, healers aren't bad to play but you need to stay focused especially in level 65 content

if you want play archer or lancer you need to get third party program to trick server to think you're low ping
