Archer
Archers are definitely a magical class in TERA instead of a class between physical attack and magical attack in other MMORPGs, because even their innate common skills will consume MP. As TERA employs lots of real physical characteristics, players cannot control archers to shoot while jumping and running, but they are likely to realize it by using skill later. Shooting and moving speed will play an important role in archers' survival.

Berserker
Berserkers are the incarnation of strength, capable of dealing massive damage. Owning high defense and defensive skills without cooldown, berserkers always make players' blood boil and thirst for creating a brand new era. Among eight solo classes, berserkers are the only all-round class that has no difficulty in dealing with a single or a group of monsters. However, casting skills slowly is their great shortcoming.

Elementalist/Mystics
The Mystics (class previously known as Elementalist) call upon spirits and elements to aid them and their allies in battle. Through the strength and wisdom of the spirits, the Mystics can channel spells to help their allies, while casting spells that hinder the enemies. Mystics can absorb the enemies’ health and mana so that the enemies cause less damage towards others and become easier to kill.

Mystics are very fragile by nature as they only wear light armor, therefore their strength lies in seeking aid from spirits. Mystics observe battles from afar and react according to the situation. It takes a lot of practice to develop this intuition.

Lancer
Lancers are a traditional main tank class, capable of casting defensive skills without cooldown. It takes players much time to train a lancer before reaching level 8, yet few skills are acquired like Level 8 archers. Thus, no more comments will be given here. What can be said is that straight attack is a characteristic of lancers.

Priest
Priests are the most troublesome solo class before level 8. They have weak attacks at the first levels. Of course, it is reasonable, for priests are always designed as a healing class. Nevertheless, in terms of solo ability, they are not satisfactory. It is unknown whether they will make progress in that aspect after reaching a high level.

Slayer
Slayers feature AOE skills. They also have dodge skills which require 3 sec cooldown. Indeed, their single PK ability is worse than the above classes but their cast speed is higher than berserkers.

Sorcerer
Sorcerers are the representatives of magic, dealing considerable magical damage upon both one and more targets with flowery effects. They even have an interesting skill which is attached with rebound or sputtering effects. Players who have low-end computers should consider carefully before playing this class.

Warrior
Warriors are doubtlessly the most popular class with high agility and high damage in TERA. They may become horrific killers if they make reasonable use of their movement and dodge skills. Players will be certain to enjoy the smooth gameplay brought by warriors.

The Mystics class previously known as Elementalist and it is on the list. lol

This is what I heard about Mystic so far in this game.
Apparently, Mystic is the most least class to play because due the low dmg attack skill.

I am currently playing Sorcerer

not in beta test, but probably will choose slayer for that huge sword

Warrior all the way! TERA Online has created my dream class and I have fallen in love with it. <3 Can't wait for CBT4, see you guys in Jagged Coast [PvP] in the NA TERA.

It's a little late, but I choose Elf Archer class is fun.  For the most part I tried all of them, and archer was by far the most fun.

I think I am changing my mind. Going for Lancer.

I'm thinking between Slayer and Mystic ;]

slayer

or sorcerer

tera is awesome!

Sorceror all the way =)

Warrior forever! <3

This looks like an amazing game. I would probably go with the archer, but like Velamo said the warrior class seems like it is going to be awesome too.
