    They sound like a fun implementation of the holy knight/paladin sort of archetype. Can you do respectable damage or are your melee abilities performed strictly to generate Righteous Fury? It seems like the WP is supposed to be a front-lines fighter, so do you have the armor and hitpoints to last in a fight?

    Warrior priests are hard to take down. Their damage is mid/low but because of their healing and buffs and stuff they're really awesome.

    So awesome I am rolling WP as my main.

    Has anyone here beta tested the squig herder class? I am planning on playing it and at this point its between this class and the shadow warrior. Is the squig hereder class more like the traditional "hunter" class or is it more?

    It's the closest class in WAR to WoW's hunter. You get 4 different squigs that are specialized, though. Then your little gobbo is quite an archer himself.

It seems like the WP is supposed to be a front-lines fighter, so do you have the armor and hitpoints to last in a fight?

    I played one a bit last night finally and really enjoyed it. They start off a bit slow and are difficult to heal with at first with their reliance on RF. However, after a few levels and a few PQs/Scenarios, I was having fun. I think this will be a class where the good players vs the not-so-good will really show. Knowing when to get into the melee to do some damage and build up RF vs using your channeled RF build-up and doing good decisions of which of your defensive targets to buff along with your normal healing, there's a lot of strategy involved for being a great support team.

    I also love their style. Can't go wrong with a big hammer and the power of Sigmar behind you! :)

    I got my WP to 10 just today, so my impressions are based on that.

    Most fun I've had playing a "healer" class in any game, ever. WP is a multitasking class, if you're not doing at least two things at once you're doing it wrong. As stated, always know who your defensive target is, it should be whoever you're trying to keep alive but that's usually a moving target so stay aware.

    They don't feel like a Paladin to me, probably because they lack heavy armor in these early levels. More like a Monk with a sledgehammer. Our melee DPS is decent and lack of armor is made up for by the potent heals that almost never stop flowing. Don't forget to use Judgement whenever you're chasing down enemies or behind the front line. It's great for building a little RF and definitely harasses enemy units to break the line and get themselves killed. Might be a bug but casting it isn't broken by movement so you can spam it on the move.

    They're really just a treat to play in RvR. Getting top 3 for healing and kills in a scenario seems strange but it's par for the course.

    I've played a squig herder to 15/11 and if by "hunter" class you mean WoW hunters then no, it's not.

    squig herders so far seem to be a support rdps class which sounds really odd but I've liked it so much it's going to be my main come release.

    to be usefull in scenarios I've found myself constantly juggling squigs to either blow them up on a healer or enrage them and use the morale ability that gives 100% damage for 7 seconds so I can nuke them pretty hard.

    I think most people are really turned off by the fact that they DON'T do the dps of a BW but to be honest they would probably be completely overpowered if they did. I guess most people don't like the sound of a "support" rdps class.

    I really don't think they do terrible dps anyway, if I'm playing well then I can get top3 in scenarios pretty easily, and I never feel useless because I'm constantly putting pressure on healers. Also in scenarios like stone troll crossing and RVR it's really helpfull to have a ranged snare attack.

    I could go into more detail but you really should try it for yourself, squig herders seem to be the underdogs of destruction but it is by far my favorite class.

    I'm trying really hard not to play mine anymore till release

    Well, actually, apprentice elves learn one school at a time (the College system is based off of elven magic training) and may travel to the Empire to practice their skills alongside the college wizards.

    An archmage isn't a pure "wizard" class, though. Interestingly, they're classified as "healers" in the class menu. So far (level 9) my archmage plays almost exactly like a shadowpriest solo: HoT DoT DoT DoT.

    Edit.. they suck compared to other classes sub-10. Maybe they're better later but what I played they were pretty poor and reading other boards they're fairly gimped like the other pet classes. I was originally planning to be one but after being pretty unimpressed at level 8 then losing it and trying the squig herder it feels like the engineer is a poor man's squig herder.

    (btw I edited because I basically shat on them originally because they get shit sub-10 but I went and looked at their ability list and they do get better, but they develop way fucking later than other classes. so if you're not patient with sucking balls for a little while with disputable payoff I'd avoid them.)

    They can be fighters because:

    A) They think blood is exciting, regardless of whose it is.

    B) See above R.E.: Pain.

    C) Armor not only removes them from all the blood, it restricts the movement.

    So, at level 40 when your spells don't all level up with you anymore, do most classes generally stop using their non-mastery spell schools? Though I guess at RR80 you can spec two lines to 15 and 14 now, so you only have to neglect one of them.
