Here I am again, starting a new MMO - Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, and here I am again, not knowing what to play. I really enjoy healers, so I have so far made a Blood Mage and a Cleric and well -- I like them both! This is a first time that two healers feel so differently in play. Clerics can take a beating, and Blood Mages can barely take a hit. Clerics can tank somewhat and Blood Mages can do insane DPS. They both heal well. Blood Mages require a lot more macroing with combo points called Blood Union and three stances to be effective. So the Blood Mages are definitely more advanced to play.
But on top of all that, it seems some of the other classes would be fun to play as well. I don't want to make the mistake of choosing only one early on and never going back to try anything else. I typically do that and it often lowers fun factor and replayablity at the end game for me. I often pick one, stick to it like glue, then get bored when I'm max level and have no desire to make an alt. This time I'm making a few alts, then I will max one out but not having to repeat the really low levels will probably encourage me to try something different.
