Thread: Help a scrub out: most forgiving creep/freep classes for a key board turning player

Hi all,

I am contemplating a return to the game and aim to pvp during off hours, which means mostly solo or small group. Problem is that I have never been able to develop strong mouse turning skills and, frankly, enjoy the game less when I try.

Which classes would you rank as most forgiving of key board turning under these circumstances on both the freep and creep sides?

Thanks!

On creep that would be defiler/warleader. On freep - hunter seems the most probable, since you will be mostly using the mouse to turn around when you stand still. Still even if you mostly turn using a keyboard, you will be able to play any class, even if you will never be as effective as a pure mouse turner. I am saying that as a part - time keyboard turner myself

Defiler and WL don't require much turning because their primary roles usually require them only to choose safe locations and heal from there. However, the same argument could be made for BA's, they require little movement in combat.

Thanks to both of you for helpful responses. I should underline that I am mostly concerned with solo or small group fights as I fear my raiding days are more or less behind me until my daughter is older.

Then you'll probably want a BA, in solo they rank up quicker than defiler and WL. Prepare to die often though.

BA/WL/Defiler

if you're new to creepside you should probably choose ba first since it's the main creep DPS class and it's not that hard to play one.

play BA or hunter/lm generally you won't have to worry about turning around fast as long as you keep a safe distance and pew pew while in a group of other freeps/npcs.

I used to play BA, Weaver and WL. I had no problems with keyboard turning.

So, play any class.

I wouldn't recommend LM for moors, since it's one of the hardest freep classes to play. pick the easier classes first, like RK or hunter. RK would be the best choice if you are gonna play freepside since you can do some overpowered damage or some overpowered healing.
