This is just a poll to find out which race you all play as, though you can reply with the class as well but a poll will not take enough options to vote for all the classes. Personally, i will probably play empire as the witch hunter.

I gave the Archmage a good shot but It's just not for me personally, I find healers dull even though WAR tried desperately to make healers not suck.

I'm switching to Destruction DE's very soon as soon as BG are released.

Sorceress 40, Disciple of Khaine 20, Witch Elf 10, and Zealot 10.

I have to say that reaching level 40 with my Sorceress really took the wind out of my sails for this game. I'm not really a fan of PvP in general, and it's almost impossible to find an instance group. I'm in a guild, but my wife and I own our own business so I have a ton of time to play, whereas all of my friends have real jobs to go to. The next highest character in our guild is level 33...so it will take a while before the guild starts raiding.

If you're not a fan of PvP then you'll be missing a lot of game's content... and even Mythic themselves said on multiple occasions - this might just not be the game for you.

Not true. I love the PvE aspect of the game, and the questlines in this game are wonderfully detailed and engaging. One problem I ran into with my sorceress however, is that she ran out of quests in both the Empire lands and the High Elf lands. I finished up the last quest in Eataine, and that was it. No more High Elves to kill....

When I hit 60 with my first character in WoW years ago, I immediately started another one. By the time the smoke had cleared, three years of my life had gone by and I had nine level 70 characters...one of each class. I thought I would be doing the same thing in WAR, but I'm having trouble mustering the energy to make the climb back up that hill. I'll get there eventually, but for now I'm spent.

That's because if you don't take part in RvR and focus only on PvE then you lose over 50% of the opportunities for levelling.
Majority of T4 zones are pvp enabled, meaning there's less PvE quests to do and more fighting to take to the enemy.
And at this time you really only have 2/3 end-game dungeons
Bastion Stair, Gaen Vale and the rank 40 dungeon in capital city depending on your side.

I can never find an instance group, then again I'm sure thats just because I'm lvl 18 and over the limit for the 1st skaven instance...

Any hints on the Black Guard talent trees because that'll decide if I switch race or not, if not then I will probably roll a Choppa when they are released, whenever that is?

There are *no* upper level limits for instances. This isn't WoW.
You don't do city instances for gear, you do them to improve city's rank. Gear is just icing on the cake.
Mount Gunbad starts around 25
then Bastion Stair at 35
Gaen Vale and higher city dungeons at 40.

And yes, three Black Guard trees will be like three trees of *all* classes.

Offensive, Defensive and Utility (in BG's case mostly debuffing)
