I mained glad when the game first came out. Glad excels in AoE and knockdowns, among the DP abilities is the AoE knockdown so they are not bad for aion classic kinah team pvp, or fort sieges, they can be quite beneficial tactically. The extendable weapons are 100% the goal. They'll raise your reach a fair piece, making it so much more difficult to kite you. I ran bakarma about 70 times I believe, and never needed the spear drop. Though I managed to acquire lannok's, which was extendable but much less great. If I am recalling correctly too, bakarma's spear doesn't have atk speed on it, and they did not allow weapon blending until 1.9 (memory is demanding of releases, but fairly sure that is accurate) so it might feel rather slow compared to your previous weapon, that will most likely possess atk speed.
I think Lannok is not that bad if you can not receive the 19 percent ASpd from blending, since you can just switch for the knockdown if you really need it.
Most played courses are appearing like cleric and gladiator right now followed with the two casters, at least based on this poll in the large Aion classic discord that was linked on this subreddit. This might be due to the fact that a lot of EU players are coming to NA classic, therefore lots of people are trying to choose more ping-friendly classes.
Yeah and forget about enjoying Assassin or Pvp generally (which is the best part of this game. 150+ ping however good web you have. After all EU has many times more players playing and loving Aion, Gameforge only proved to be shit one more time.
There game has been running since November in Korea and there's no p2w money store for Aion Classic there. While it's entirely possible that there will be one at the NA version of this game, there's no evidence for it. Can it eventually change? Sure. But every game could potentially add major p2w at any point.
I've watched a video on it and although it's not the worst, it may definitely be looked at p2w. The streamer I watched said he understands people who buy the conflict pass and levels on multiple accounts for more of it. Buy tbh I am not thay bothered, so long as they do not make it overly terrible.
