And the criteria for "best" is of course the class with the funniest and cutest fight animations, as well as the best armor designs.

I've already ruled out the leather classes. Fugly armors that only have one benefit, and that is that you don't want to be catched dead in them so you might do your best to not die in the game.

I feel like the lancers look stiff and have a big bulky shield that would not fit with my fashionable clothing. So those are probably not very good. The Priest also looked very stale in the few videos I found, with mostly just tossing white balls. Mystic seemed to be very similar.

So more or less it was Berserker and Sorcerer that looked like plausible choices. Am I right, or am I missing something important like class restricted armors that one of the classes I neglected only get?

Just thought I'd be prepared in case a beta key rolls into my mailbox.

The Elin Berserker seems to be one of the biggest appeals. I've also heard of a lot of Sorcerers as well. There are no class-restricted armours, it's purely race/gender specific and the classes get access to one of three levels of armour.

Honestly, use the open beta (if you don't get into the CBT) to try out each race and class animations. Or, alternatively, search YouTube for various animations. There was a thread on the old forums with all of the race/classes, but unfortunately it no longer works.

Elin Sorc all the way because there casting animations are awesome. Made this vid awhile back showing elin sorc casting

Loving the Elin berserker concept. Actually... I love all of the classes on all of the races, but I have set rules for myself see... there are eleven body types, and only 8 classes QQ

I really wish my heavy armors could dress in the lighter armors, just for grins.

Sorry Malamasala, I'm not answering your question because it's something only you can really figure out. Trying out something you think you hate just watching videos can make you do a 180 instantly.

I used to hate Baraka, and only did it as a joke during CPE. Now I must have a Baraka on my roster. Humble giants of loving, silent rage.

Best armor designs automatically go to the cloth-wearing classes. (Sorcerer, Priest, Mystic)
Best animation depends on preference, but I'd expect majority to vote for Sorcerer.

I would go with lancer !

Why not just play them all? any elin class is already deemed to have the "cutest" animation. Its not like you've seen all the leather outfits. well out of those two, sorc.

Watched a youtube video showing 20 or so armors, and didn't like a single one. I've simply given up on leather.

And I don't really feel like all classes have cute animations. The warrior class looked fairly dull with just swinging small swords around.

I'd probably say Sorc if I had to best fit those requirements . . .
