(tried to sort everything in recommend order (higher = better) :P
Balanced

TaoEast - A bit to much skills for a start but most OP class for no so it's easy to pve pvp.
Berserker - Huge dmg, easy to combo in pvp, lot of people like his splashy skills. :D
Warrior - not so much on skills good AoE for pvp, big dmg.
Illusionst -  defensive style of play throws lot of random thingys on screen. Not relay a recommend for new player but it won't be the worst choice :D.

PVE

Elementalist (blue stance) - maybe easiest class for PVE :)
Ranger - a bit hard with monsters but relay easy on boses
Warden - Not a best choice but she have few summons and freezes a lot.

PVP

Scout - if your a bit his traps make pretty big dmg.
Guard - better to start because he have lot of hp so you can survive a bit longer XD. But low dmg so will be pretty hard to kill someone xD.

Forbidden

Assassin - Need lot of practice and precis control
Slayer - shes pretty much a assassin in skirt :) but a bit easier to handle :P

Hi slow, i just wanted to say that elemetnatilst blue stance is really good at pvp o.o in VIP test i was able to kill some lvl 50s when i was lvl 30 it just need to know how and when u use the skills , and btw which classes willnot be in the start of the obt ?

Scout/phys taoist.
But they are also hard to play when your enemy is good enough to know how your skill works.

Mostlikaly 50, and no 4th continent will not be released.

I was playing an assassin on CBT,
It was really cool decision and in a short time i get like 43lvl.
Now Im thinking about Slayer.
Is it a good choice compare to assassin? What abt pvp?

What caft class should I choose for it?

thanks;]

Answer to me please;]

This "83 user" is me;]

Slayer is similar to assassin; rely on combo,grab ,short invincible frames and precision. If you find that assassin was good for you in pvp, then slayer shouldnt be a problem to play with.
Craft class really doesnt matter, since you can create lvl 1 charaters and learn different professional, and the storage is charater connected so you will just need to put stuff there and take out with ur alt.

i really wish shadow was out in the start of the obt i saw alot of videos for 1 shadow keep loseing on youtube but i still say his problem was his lagg so it might be good without lagg
and is blade dancer going to be out on obt or not ?

As for bladedancer, im not sure, maybe Slowextasy group can anwser that, since they attended E3 tournament and infomations were released there.
Video of top KR shadow gameplay:

1. Best money maker class. By best I mean easiest one , that is less annoying.
2. I played this game a little in CB , just to get a feel. And question is Ranged > Melee in this game too ? Also with the same Gears > Skill ?
3. What this game offers more compared to...Dragon Nest , Vindictus , Tera. (graphics aside pls)
4. Game , class etc balance...who makes calls , webzen or koreans ? or its just copy paste patches ?

1. Inorder, blademaster, scout, taoist/ranger. Those classes doing pretty well and effective in pve.
2. Range class are heavily aim depended, if you have a good aim then u rule, if you fail at aim you dies fast. about gear; upgrade doesnt matter in pvp, +15 weapon have same effect as +0.
3. Good pvp mechanism, non target, combo depended gameplay. Tera is abit target locked and have dull movements, Dragons nest have really overpowered class, Vindictus is pve based and you cant compare it with C9, unless you think pressing Shift + a few attack moves can be count as PVP gameplay. Otherwise; Tera does shine when it comes to Group gameplay. Vindictus for the intensive and challanging pve, and Dragons nest for animated fans.
4. Koreans make the call. Class balance are based on KR version.

ty hearless for the shadow videos , that guy really have a pretty good combos i hope i can do them LOL

i decided to play with elementalist like the last days in the VIP test i remember u said i was good with her , but ofcourse i will get shadow as soon he is out

Well yeah, i cant really say with class is the best, its all about how well you can play. Take those videos for example, those veteran koreans are pbly one of the best in C9KR, they know what they are doing and therefore there wasnt any "oh hey its the X class im fighting, this is gonna be easy/hard!"

i agree with u

i have a key

Which advanced classes are unavailable in the OBT?
