Correlation between School and Alignment (Poll)
-
I'm curious to see a correlation between school that people want to play (primarily / most of the time) and an alignment they want to be (primarily / most of the time), so I'm creating this poll.
I would make more options for more specific answers, but unfortunately this is maximum poll options that I can add. Thus I also had to skip neutral alignment options. If your goal is to remain neutrally aligned, write this as a comment (together with magic school you will be).
Vote away!

I am curious, among other things, if we (evil aligned folks) will get any healers.

NIce thinking there m8.

@gothix The games seems to be based on not being limited with skills by the choices you make, so unless healing is strictly limited to good(or neutral?) players because they follow certain gods, there's a pretty good chance all races and alignments will get access to healing skills. Also, some other common support/healing type "classes" such as bard doesn't seem like it would be religion focused, more lore focused, so there's always more options like that.

He's not asking if the game will correlate them by force. He's polling to see whether the playerbase will correlate them by choice.
And absolutely there will be Evil healers, they'll be needed in Tartaros castle sieges.

@gothix there are similar threads up:
Survey | What's your favorite role? Survey | What's your favorite play style?
I will play good Alignment as tank/healer/flex, for sure I'll skip melee dps.

i mean, death is a universal healer. everyone spawns with full life.
-
@Finland none of which tries to see how alignment correlates to schools.
I'm curious to see if there is a correlation between playing mage and being good / evil, and for example playing a healer and being good / evil.
It would be curious to see if people playing evil tend to be certain schools more than others, or if people playing healers or support roles tend to play more good than evil, and similar.
So no, there aren't similar threads up.

@gothix pkers will play ambush. Not much to think about. For raids you need all so guilds will force players to play the role needed. You can not go without any role if you go as group. For solo it's ambush usually.

For big raids and sieges ambush style characters are of little need. They will be asked to switch to healer/support role probably, and good guilds will supply the gear for it. A good guild that wants to siege will have expesitions to help it's members learn the abilities needed for sieges and raids. Healing spells/abilities will no doubt be high on the "to do list".

@benseine Dude I said that for raids you need all but for pking you go usually with ambush burst build.
-
Yes, just adding that evil aligned players not only pk, but also take part in raids and sieges, and thus need heals as part of balanced setup. And I know how that will probably go in this game with top tier guilds
-
@benseine I have never said that every evil char would go ambusher. I just said every real pker wil go ambusher. For other tasks like grouping and raids/sige it's obvious that you need everything and I said that ;).

PKers don't play real PVP because they aren't good enough to play real PVP. That's why they PK.
-
Reading through the replies here it seems some might expect that among evil aligned ppl there will be a shortage of healers and a abundance of ambush ppl and that might be a problem for evil aligned ppl in general.
I'm just saying that won't be a problem. Among those that want to take part in sieges or raids there is always to will to switch to support/heal if needed. Even if they prefer to be high dps or kill stealers.
-
self sustain! you ambush you self heal. if you group then you have someone swap to group heals.

I have noticed that issue in a lot of games that have different factions. It is interesting because on the good factions you tend to have a lot more healer players while on the evil faction there is a huge shortage of them. I find that it is actually not as big of a divide as you would think for a lot of classes though, you see like 1% more of the thief/archer/dark classes, tanks seem pretty even to be honest. The main difference is the type of player who likes to heal is just less likely to go that way.
