Is 64 classes still a good idea?

What exactly is a "true paladin"? Is it wow paladin? Cause that seems to be the only fucking fantasy people have.

L2's paladins were still tanks, but they could also provide a limited amount of healing to their group. I expect AoC's pals to do the same, so if I ever wanted to be a healing tank - I'd be my exact fantasy of a Paladin.

It turns out that there isn't one concrete fantasy image for any given concept, because each game has its own spin on that concept. Ashes will have yet another spin on the concepts presented as class names.

"Plans not surviving first contact" and all of that. I expect racial bonuses to amount to maaaybe 5% of overall player build, if that. Augments will probably be ~30-40% (I'm talking all augments, not just class) and the rest will be gear/buffs/guild benefits.

That's what I'm talking about. However the augments are designed, I'd imagine that a racial augment will only come up in the synergy interplay <5% of your gameplay time. And the other % apply in the same way.

Obviously I can be wrong because we know 0 fucking info about any of that stuff at this point, but that's just my prediction for what it will likely be.
