want to make another class and u aint sure what to pick , look here

1) for a human melee i would suggest the treasure hunter as a beginner char. they are strong in pvp and still do very good in pve. so they are a really well balanced class to start out with and they are also wanted for clans/groups so its easier to play them than some of the other classes.

gladiators get strong rather late in the game (60+) so they tend to be harder if your pretty new to the game and can be a bit frustrating. also gladiators are a bit harder to play than daggers as you really need to get to know their skills well to do well in pvp.

if your not set on humans you might check out the DE dagger (stronger in pve but the lower hp makes them weaker in pvp) or the orc tyrant. tyrants again are a pretty well rounded class but like the gladiator are a bit trickier to play than daggers as their skills again need to be managed well to utilize their full potential.

 

2)concerning the races you can (on average) divided them like following:

humans: very well rounded class. they perform well in pve and pvp but do not excell at either

dark elves: they get more strength and intelligence than other races but have less hp and slow cast speed aswell. STR (for melee) and INT (for mages) increases your damage output which makes DE excell at pve, but their low HP make them hard to play in pvp

light elves: have low strenght/intelligence stats, average hp, good dexterity and mp regeneration as well as very high cast speed. light elves tend to be not very popular as they dont excell at a lot of things. they tend to be very hard to play in pve (low damage output)and often not that good in pvp.

orcs: good strength, very high hp, low dexterity, good mp regen. most orcs tend to be hp monsters. some claim that orcs have some of the strongest classes in games. their buffer is atm the strongest high lvl buffer available in the game and their fighters tend to have high hp and can deal strong damage.

dwarfs: good money makers, high hp, not much else. dwarfs are a hard to race to like. they arent very good damage dealers, dont have bffers/nukers. their only saving grace is that they can help you earn money through creating armors/weapons (warsmiths) or by gathering more crafting materials (bounty hunter).

 

classes:

tanks: you have either more defensive oriented tanks (palading and temple knight) or more offensive tanks (dark avenger and shillien knight). most people prefer the offensive tanks as they are easier to play because you can at least lvl somewhat without a group, where the defensive tanks are very group dependent. also game design doesnt make tanks necessary for groups for a long time, so they can be a bit frustrating to play. but they make very good archer killers.

melees: wide choice of classes. generally you will want to play a class that with high run speed (daggers, tyrants, somewhat gladiators) to close to your enemy in pvp as fast as possible. slower run speed classes have a harder time in open space pvp but for pve they are still fine.

archers: very strong pvp characters and still do well in pve. tend to be rather expensive to play as you need to get arrows to use your bow which is an added money drain. also bow weapons tend to be expensive to get. range in this game is rather favoured, so being able to hit your enemeys from afar and most often outrun them too is a great bonus.

offensive mages: again very strong in pvp, but also good in pve. probably the strongest nuker atm in game is the DE spellhowler. they have very high damage output and their slow cast speed can be improved well with armors/weapons and buffs. another decent nuker is the human necro (but rumours are that new protection buffs will make them weaker in pvp in the future). light elve nuker has the best cast speed, but rather week damage output which makes the hard to play in pve (they run out of mp fast) but still decent in pvp. human sorcerer is pretty average and doesnt shine in pve or pvp but is a solid character choice. a kind of hybrid character is the orc overlord. they get mass debuffs (but have a hard time landing them)and a good offensive nuke that returns the enemies hp back to them. but their spells cost a lot of mp so they are hard to play and arent very wanted in groups.

defensive mages: your have healers and buffers here. amongst the buffers the orc warcryer is probably the best buffer in high lvls and therefor one of the most wanted characters for groups and clans. they even do reasonabely well solo killing mobs. another strong buffer/healer for pve is the dark elf shillien elder. they have good buffs for melees and nukers and also good heals. this makes them wanted for all kinds of groups, but the low cast speed makes them less interesting for pvp as they have a very hard time to keep players alive. best pvp healer is probalby the elven elder with the human bishop as a close second. both do not have a lot of usefull buffs (the elven elder gets better buffs after lvl 40, the bishop doesnt) but their healing ability is great. both are less good in pure pve situations as they tend to run into mp management problems without a second buffer in group

You could add a bit text about summoners. They are quite nice to play aswell, and some newbies should know that :>
