Question Starting out at CABAL, Which class?

It's the same random question. (I know).
But, Which would be a nice Profession to choose for Beginners (i.e. New Comers, First Timers, etc...)?

Uhm, Warrior, Blade, or Force Shielder?

tyvm!.

No class is better than any other class. It's what you prefer and what appeals to you.

This could easily be disputed.

But yeah, listen to the second guy.. play what class appeals to you the most since you'll end up playing it. You can utilize every class to get to the top, the balance is quite nice.

You should start a Force Shielder just to understand the game. FS has the most higher defence, so you have more chances to survive.

Wrong. Based on attribute gain from stats, warriors have the highest defense in the game. I'm speaking this on behalf of a level 132 force shielder who has seen it first hand.

Force shielders are usually looked down upon, but if you toughen up and don't blame your class for why you suck, then there is no wrong pick.

My personal preference from your list would be to go blader. The fact that bladers have the best avoid rate in the game (and a buff that gives them 90% chance of not getting hit at all) gives them one of the highest survivability ratings. Warriors may take 200-300 less damage than bladers, but think of it like this:

Would you rather be a warrior and be hit for 400,400,400,400 (1,600 total)

or

Would you rather be a blader and be hit for 600, miss, 600, miss? (1,200 total)

Your choice.

It can't be, a Warrior can't have better def than a Shielder. Otherwise it's useless to pick a Shielder, because if a War has better def and better attack it's a non-sense.
Don't forget buffs.

Wow, lol. I never thought that somebody here would actually try and question my knowledge as-to the mechanics of Cabal. Because I can guarantee you there that nobody here knows more about this game than I do - that includes whoever this FS you're talking about.

Your hypothetical situation is pretty useless as well because most everybody is comboing anyways which means that you don't miss at all - that plus you're coming up with attack stats out of nowhere.

A force shielder has the best defense in the game, bar-none. And that's unbuffed. With our buffs it becomes even crazier. We get a buff that basically makes us untouchable for 30 seconds on top of our base defense - anybody who says we're looked down upon is clueless.

Warriors and Bladers have the second most defense, in fact they have the same amount of defense.

Not to say that Blader is a bad choice, it's not - this guy is just wrong about every single thing he said - don't listen to him.

Don't believe me? Try out the build simulator for yourself.

Every class is pretty balanced, play which one you like the best.

humm interms of "what-to-do-till-the-class-gets-good" id recommend you to go with: Warrior/archer/wizard/blader followed by fb/fs.

why ?

simple! Because the first classes "are doing fine" with just 1 of the lines specced to trans. FB/FS need dual trans until they get really good (at least in my opinion)

means less work to get an overall good char

but in the end you have to get to dual trans whatever class you play
