Right, I'm really bored with lusternia. I think part of that is because now, not only are bards boring as hell, but they suck too. So, maybe a new guild would make me less bored?

Positives and negatives:

Aquamancers:
+Dreamweaving could be cool
+Better at getting away from ganks then Paladins
+Celest needs more mages
+Artifacts aren't as important for mages as they are for paladins
+/-Dreamweaver demesnes are better then psionic demesnes, obviously, even though I'll be weaker myself.
-Demesnes
-I've been an aqua before and I got sick of it, but that was a couple years ago
-Demesnes
-I'd have to drop lowmagic
-Demesnes
-Demesnes

Paladins:
+I haven't done it before
+Good bashing (especially one handers)
+Decent tanking ability
+I could drop tailoring and have armor made (unless I wanted to keep splendor? Not sure how splendor compares to armor)
+I'm a titan so I'll have decent stats
-Running away ability is limited
-I'd probably have to get cheap runes for decent weapons if I get any
-I'd have to find decent weapons and armor
-I have no idea how to fight as a knight

Both will take me about 300 cr to finish up the guild skills (Aquas will cost a tiny bit more, and even more if I get highmagic up to the level I have lowmagic currently). As an Aqua I'd probably stay human, as a paladin I'd either go merian lord or stay human. I'd take sacraments as a paladin. Pureblade also has the advantage of having fewer weapons to get and possibly rune.

Bards sure don't suck, but they do take more effort than they used to.

Paladin also takes a fair bit of effort, so if that's your issue... probably not Paladin.

Nah, bards definitely suck. Nearly all their afflicting potential is completely random, and all of it shows exactly what afflictions you're getting, making it really easy to keep up with curing. Their one redeeming factor is that they're hard to kill. But that's not what this thread is about!

Go tarot bard! Or come2glom!

Okay, just kidding.

If I were you, I'd go BC Paladin, but that's just me.

Paladin, Pureblade. Warriors are a very fun class to play, and you'll want Pureblade just because BC is, as others have said, "ez-mode."

Fullplate > Splendors.

Warriors are not actually that tanky. They get a lot more health (especially as a Titan), but high health without DMP to back it up is quite meh.

I actually considered tarot bard for a while. Bard with aeon could be interesting, especially with that skill that stops eating cures, and the use of tarot would give me the element of surprise for a little bit

Paladins are pretty tanky actually. Primarily due to numen.

That would be the DMP I was talking about!

Well since you don't need sacraments to bash to titan anymore. You could go Tracking. I have heard some paladins say it is better than sacraments.

I am not sure it is better but it is different. It becomes a challenge as well, especially since you will have NO DMP abilities at all in the tracking/hunting skillset. But it sure was a fun skillset for some things.

Great skillset for little quests like plauging the inner seas with mutant kelpies, quick pathways to use to get to tosha, setting up traps all over the place so when you finally quit being a tracker your traps still hit people

come2seren

The Spiritsingers will take you. Prolly the most lively Bard guild around, if TOPGUILDS isn't lying.

Bah, the votes reset when I edited my initial post? Thats annoying... there were 4 BCs, 2 PBs, and 1 Aqua vote before they cleared...

Join the Paladins. We got "maxxor skilz" or sommat. Pureblade sounds like it'd be fun for you.

go whatever class has pinleg, then you can be like Rika

Lolwut..?

I'd just like you to know that pin leg is not nearly as good as you make it sound like.

Aquamancer. WE NEED MAGES!

You have Dysolis. shhhh

Why are demesnes a bad thing?

Nerf pinleg

The guy with the demense gets killed first.
