After doing research on all of the classes, I have decided that the dragoon is the most intriguing to me, and therefore the job that I will eventually use when the game is released in NA. Now, I'm trying to decide which race would be best for me. I have (extremely) limited experience with all of the races through my beta testing, but after playing as each race, my favorite is tarutaru. I know that statwise, taru is the worst for melee type jobs, but I know that any race can and will be able to work for any job. I also know it's been done (Cobalt Katze
), and that if I do decide to pursue this race/job combination that I won't be any sort of pioneer, but hey, I'm playing this game for fun, not for competition.
Any thoughts/input/criticism on this idea?
As a side note, I am also trying to decide which of the three nations to start in. As a melee job, the Windurstian ring won't benefit me all that much, but so far, I find Windurst to be the most enjoyable nation. Also, Windurst seems to be the only nation at this point in the beta that has a weapons vendor selling the lvl 1 spear. I also have noticed that San d'Oria has very nice polearm type conquest point weapons for the later levels, and (not sure if this is important) that parts of the dragoon quest itself take place here. I'm almost set on Windurst, but I'd like to hear any opinions on this idea as well.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me out.
