Theres a lot to like about this class so far. Don't let that 1* difficulty rating deter you. Through all the gameplay vids and PvP videos I've seen there is definitely some strategy to be had with this class.

I really like their wing shield or whatever its called. From the videos I've seen it looks like it protects about a 70-degree arc or so in front of you. Kinda disappointed that its not a wider arc but then again I don't know what the exact specs are. I also definitely like their grab->ground slam and grab->axe throw move. Ive seen this used many of times to break their opponents combos and they both do some great damage. Not to mention the throw gets the enemy away from you and allows you setup a leap strike or you wing shield again if they try to throw a projectile on get-up.

I truly don't mind the fact that we're the least talked about class If anything I prefer being one of the few Destroyers
I truly can't get too into B&S until we get a solid North American showing. North American betas, etc.

But I love everything about Destroyers. Strong attacks (quick kills), high defense, high hp, and we're the masters of control (area control).

Exactly, I really wouldn't worry about the star thing And I gotta say I really love that shield skill, I can't wait to play around with that. It doesn't get better than blocking most/any attacks for 0 damage

I don't even care about the star thing... It's nothing compared to the power and awesomeness of a destroyer! Keep it up with some videos Lyndis! :D

Totally agree xD The shield is awesome and the grab>throw is SO COOL

Hah, I don't have any videos. I am just reporting on based of videos that I have seen of them.

Oh nice a new post ^^

I've already seen that video but let's leave it for other fellow destroyer-wanna-be's!

Keep the topic alive guys

[Ghastly]

Quality vs quantity. There's a lot of blademasters and assassins acting all high and might
That's fine, wait until NA/EU CBT comes, I'll show them what a Destroyer can do

So will my fellow Destroyers here

We can't control what the Koreans do or which classes they play. We can however change that when NA/EU CBT comes our way.

[Kerberian Kitsune]

Quite frankly I've lost all cause for concern as to whether a class is popular or not; what I now pride myself in is being able to bring a whole new manner of play to a given class to the proverbial table. So if you really are one to strive for perfection, you needn't worry yourself about some silly nonsensical, if ultimately fickle, numerical values. I'll be keeping tabs on the destroyer profession as that was my original choice before I decided I just had to be a lyn, and personally being a BM will be a slight departure on what I normally play; which is a pro face-tanking beast. ^v-v^

I don't even care for what people say, I love the class and want to add it my own type of playing! Hope I can do it soon ^^

PS: I hate lyns

Out of curiosity, what are going to play if Lyn cannot choose BM as a profession?

And as far as the topic goes this was already stated. People like to look at numerical values, difficulty ratings, and overall stats and try to place a "value" on something that cannot. Skill is what matters and its all about how good you are at using those skills to overrun, outsmart, and outplay your opponent.

[Kerberian Kitsune]

Why lyn BM of course, and only that... and it's going to be in, I say this is so 'cuz I've been working on a rather intricate line of sprite-werks involving an early and rather spontaneous concept I'd had of my character for the past month or so now... and so they've no right to deny me of my choice and let all that gorgeous fan-art of sorts go to pots! D=

On a tad more serious note; I'm very vain... make that especially vain, so vain that a lack of interesting races has had me turn my nose up in disdain at a number of MMOs in the past, so... with that sentiment held in mind, I'm not sure what I'm going to do if they can't be BMs... because I have no plans on going back to blaster-caster fare as I'm on a class rotation scheme of sorts; and it goes a little like... 2 MMOs spent as a tank, then 2 as caster-base CC, then back to aggressive tanker and so on and so forth; with a light smattering of a rather timorous dabbling into something else... say... a healer or rogue. Overall though, I must say I do prefer my melee classes over casters any day of the week; hence why my foreboding disappointment that's building up right as of the moment is veering at a peak over this current conundrum.

@Comboer: I wasn't attacking that self-substantiated concept at all; having experienced being among a top heavy population in a certain other game as a certain class. The best you could hope for is that people eventually get starkly confounded by the deceptively simple yet confoundedly hard to optimize skill ceiling/bracket the destroyer class may have - and from what I've seen time and time again in the past, tanks always don that mantle... and are repeatedly accused of being too simple, yet when set on the proving grounds... that opinion inevitably falls short and crumbles thusly - and end up rerolling as something that is genuinely more simple throughout the game; that being usually or more often than not, a nuker style caster or rogue - sorry you assassun guys & gals! - ...or so this is what I experienced while playing a templar in Aion. ;3

Yeah bro I undertand and agree with you :)

C'mon guys I'm kinda disappointed for the topic being forgot, are we the only Destroyers out there? Cmon!!

[Ghastly]

The Koreans are all over the other classes. Nothing we can do lol
What I do hope for is that we can get into the Korean OBT and show the Destroyer class some love.

[Shaddix]

i played the Destro in ctb2,with the hope he feels like the destro of L2 & i wasn't disappointed at all. Was alot of fun, definitely going to be my main & with the Gon (Male) as race it fits perfect. I don't like the other races that much(teens,furballs^^),so i am happy that BL made that combo ;)

[Ultima]

I didn't think anyone would go Destroyer, considering all I saw of the CBT 2 was everyone being KFM, some assassins, some FMs SOME BMs and minor amounts of Destroyer, it was really boring to watch.

[Ghastly]

I have to agree Ultima, the lack of Destroyer and Blademasters made this CBT not that much fun to follow for me. I'm glad those who like Assassins got to a lot of videos/screenshots though.

Like I said before I can't wait for the next beta phase where we can actually create our characters and show them how Destroyers roll

Great! I think you're the first real Destroyer player who has given us feedback on Destroyers. If they're similar to L2's Destroy-like class then we should be right at home

Yeah I'm glad Jins can't be Destroyers either, they can stick to their little toys.

November's around the corner hopefully it's OBT so I can finally play Destroyer

Seriously, why do people like KFM so much? I think they're the worst and weakest of the classes so far, yet everyone and their grandma was a KFM, it was tickin' me and my friend off, so we didn't even bother to watch the livestream, the lack of Assassins and BMs and Destroyers and FMs really really needs to change, I also noticed the BnS Wiki only got updated for KFMs....

[Ghastly]

I like all the classes so I won't hate on KFMs but it will be nice when more of us real Destroyers get into the open beta or NA CBT, we'll upload some really awesome videos and screenshots

Koreans love martial arts, it's really not their fault though. We'll just have to get into one of the upcoming betas
A bit annoying that there was barely any Destroyer live stream or images.
