If youre a beginner consider joining discord.com/invite/sebchoof we have the most helpful community to turn you into a goated RotMG gamer ;D

I feel like endgame players forget what it was like to be new. Because of this, they neglect how hard it is to do melee classes as a beginner. Knight can be usable because of stun, but all other melee classes are trash for beginners. Best beginner classes are long-range with abilities that do good damage. Wizard is the best beginner class because it is the only class that fits that criteria without needing to be unlocked. If there weren't locked classes when you start, I would say sorcerer is first, Wizard second, and summoner third. Archer is decent, and rogue can be fun.

I haven't played in almost 6 years, and boy, the game has CHANGED. It's nice seeing the community still alive.

sebby, please take all my mortal possesions, sacrifice them to the algorithm gods, all praise sebchoof....

This is a pretty good tier list for beginners. what's that? Just about all the Realm beginner already stopped playing the game? We don't talk about that.

I literally agree whole heartedly with the tier list and the breakdowns of reasoning, thank you very much for the realistic expectations!!

Great vid, love seeing what there is to appreciate about each class before they’ve got maxed out stats and powerful rare gear, as well as the good advice to leave nuanced utility characters like trickster and mystic for when you are more experienced with the game. I think you missed the good things about samurai and huntress. I’d put them right under warrior in low A tier. - Huntresses mixture of a spread of piercing bullets + aoe slow is great for groups of enemies in early dungeons. In abyss of demons a mob of demons charging at you can be slowed then absolutely shredded with the bow. Like when you said the necromancer does well at getting aoe healing from large groups of enemies in early dungeons, the huntress does good dps on those same groups. - The samurai waki damage + exposed damage is insane early game as well as his range being slightly higher than sword range. Heavy armor + dps ability + range makes him like a safer and slower warrior.

anyone else get a wave of nostalgia at 2:53 ?

Thank you for making this list! I want to point out that ive never gotten past early mid-game since i was practically in middleschool when playing this game on and off- and I have the disadvantage of having the game be unplayable on US servers because im asia centric, which means soloing for 90% of the time. Not only do i commend mentioning that new players do not and will not have maxxed stats or unique items if any, but i also really do appreciate that this list is built in mind for solo players too! Note though, you have to remember that beginner players are SCARED, from my experience anyway. I would be usually too intimidated by large closeup barrages of bullets, and that makes you unable to utilize amazing abilities that benefit from charging into the fray just from being too anxious to properly dodge alone. Trust me, if you told me to jump into a ring of bullets, telling me that id not only survive- but THRIVE, id still be too instinctually avoidant to. this makes Melee and close range classes, despite their high def and survivability, unapproachable! Newcomers enjoy having to play it safe and as you said- do not have the best items or barely any pets at all, they WILL want to stay alive to keep anything they have intact, and that means taking the easy option- not touching bullets. BUT, this video is still really good with mentioning their insane potential, and I think itll make new players consider these options if they ever feel more confident. That being said, great video! It already wants to make me play rotmg again and to see if i get lucky this time

That stasis pause got me good 😂

Necromancer ... my beloved ...

I don’t know why, but I literally an assassin main and I don’t die with it. It doesn’t add up but I never die with it and I always get soulbound. It’s by far the greatest class in the game. I die immediately on other classes. And I’m not even hiding with it, I’m literally in the same location when I’m a knight 😅

I heavily agree with the assassin placement. It’s what made the early game enjoyable for me when I had nothing

i knew the edits were too good, its afro

I watched the one 3 years ago and was hoping you’d make an updated one! Thank you! Also those opinions at the beginning is 100% right! Everyone tells me warrior is OP but I personally have a hard time with anything close because I’m learning how to dodge and when to attack. Range OP for noobs

GREAT VID SEBBBB!

I’ve been playing since 2012, I just love when our boy Sebby drops a new vid!!

good take, agree on mostly everything

The reason I stopped playing this game as a beginner is inventory issues, and when using alts to hold stuff there's no way to easily see what each account holds

Most entertaining youtuber!

Sebchoof thank you for uploading

yea this is a good tier list, beginners should find this very helpful

20:40 😂 i cant

wow so that's how decoy works my dumb brain was thinking it was randoom

I completely disagree with melee classes being that high up. I would put most of them at C or D tier (with the exception of maybe Rogue, Assassin, and maybe Ninja). I think one thing experienced players often forget is that the godlands is one of the first hurdles a beginner will come across. Put two ghost gods in front of a beginner melee player and they're not going to be able to do anything. In general the farther away you are, the easier it is to dodge projectiles so beginners should be playing ranged classes where they can learn the game mechanics and shot patterns. My tierlist would be more like this: S: Wizard - Necromancer - Priest - Sorcerer - Summoner - Mystic A: Archer - Huntress - Bard B: Ninja - Rogue - Assassin C: Samurai - Kensei - Trickster D: Knight - Warrior - Paladin

Even if its more tailored towards early game/beginners I'm glad my favorite class is at the top of the list! Additionally, I would've hoped you mentioned the bonus HP you get as collateral.

Shockblasts trigger multiple times by the way so T4 does 360 to a single target and has even better AoE (because each shockblast will hit every enemy around every other enemy lol) and the damage, targets, shockblast damage and shockblast quantity (I think) all scale with Wis super fast. Obviously Maces are still better for new players but it's impossible to overstate how absurdly powerful the Scepter is right now. Like if a crusade stacks up on a decoy just using a T4 scepter a single time with no wis at all you'd do 240 to all of them instantly then 60 more to all of them from the shockblast multiplied by the amount of them that there are, twice. So if there are 6 you'd hit 840 damage to all of them for over 5000 damage. But you can stack them so your MP bar can do like 40k damage with a T4 with no wis.

Honestly, I mostly agree with this, but I’d say that (as a player who couldnt do any end-game content until recently) new players have a hard enough time focusing on dodging that focusing on when to use skill is usually too much. To whit, all hail Sorcerer as god-tier newb class!

Throughout my entire adventure with this game, there was no better class (especially in the beginning), than knight. You are right, new players can have some problems using knight's ability, but thats not what's important. The highest possible def and hp from all classes gives extreme advantage in learning dungeons cause the survivability is very high, so you don't have to repeat dungs too many times to learn their layout and boss patterns. In result you die much less with knight so your will to play this game lasts longer xd

I play necromancer mostly, lets see how high it's here

Looking forward to an updated endgame class tierlist!

If you aren't rushing a 6/8 or 8/8 knight just to go to O2 and fly headfirst through O2's entire shotgun and dying while screaming "IM GOING MAFIA DEEP" for that 50/50 coinflip on a stun, then youre just not playing RotMG right

as a new player i generally agree and have been having good experiences with kensei ive only suicided once!(even though it was my best character)

yippie new video

Absolutely agreed.

I’m so use to using the same characters that I only have 10 classes unlocked I only just got dark blue star on my new account I made a year ago I’ve been playing since like end of 2011 early 2012 I completely agree with this video

I love the emphasis on new players who barely get maybe 3/8 if they are lucky. this used to be me but now i've been consistently being able to get like a 6/8 even 7/8s (esp. in the realm rework). I still struggle with a load of the melee classes and rely on ranged to consistently be able to dodge. I'm not sure what classes would help me learn the endgame content like o3, moonlight, shatts, halls, etc. I like to avoid playing on discords as I usually just duo w/ a friend. I guess, where's the midgame player content sebby!!

goated

14:39 xDDDDD

Cool video! Though I don't understand ranking assassin higher than sorcerer on the basis of getting easy soulbound when sorc does the same while also having much higher range and a piercing weapon

My pet got 93 heal and I'm still scared of o3

good video, must've taken a lot of effort. i would personally put trickster lower for new players just because they're definitely gonna get themselves killed with the prism tp at least a couple times

since I asked for your opinion on what the best class was for begginers I take all credit for the video idea

my playstyle cant handle the melee classes, i do pretty good with archer and wizard based classes tho

When I was new knight was always my go to so I feel it got to be S and huntress that low hurts me because I feel the ability makes it a worse assassin but it has good range to so it can leech

That guy who likes playing huntress here lmao, had to comment mid video. Idk why but i prefer it over archer anytime i feel like playing a bow class lol.

Rotmg is like a wall and new players are toilet paper. You throw toilet paper at the wall and it will fall to the ground but every now and then the toilet paper is wet enough to stick at the wall and if it does, it probably does for years. Maybe even until the wall crumbles.

Just got back to realm and the funny this is my last death was 1258 days ago

You should make one for end game classes!

Man o man do i wish i was a new player. Played this game for 10.000 hours over 12 years, wish i could go back.

As the only huntress enjoyer, I can actually agree with it being the worst for beginners lmao

Mystic is pretty good early. You have good dmg, and great survivability due to your range and stasis.

As a huntress fanboi I was very sad to see her at the bottom though I totally understand lmao..

I love huntress but i agree that it's bad for beginners lol

wizard is the best beginning character no questions, maxing is the easiest with wizard hands down. everything farmable in early game can be nuked with spellbombs, plus the long range is crucial for new players. it also has very high base stats. necro/priest has healing but the lack of dps just makes it harder and more tedious overall, since you have to stay in the fight for longer.

Trickster is hard to play but its easy to learn

Honestly, being as big an influence you are in the community you should make some beginner guides for people who just start on the game. Maybe more people would stay knowing what to do.

I miss old pally. With the heal on use but it's still great now

but stats at lvl 20 are randomized

Honestly I did like the huntress until I died to a statue...

I mained knight when I started

late game tier list pls

Knight must be S Class for beginners. Easily achievable 80 DEF makes it sooo good for godlands and farming low tier dungeons without any risk , to farm pots and other gear for your other classes

Immaculate, but huntress at D? Come on now

I’m 8/8 on my samurai I’m crying it’s good and bad

Rip summoner hpe

I'm a month into this damn game and I've gotten a few 8/8 chars but there is NO damn "guides" for each class telling you what to farm or where to try for items. Realmeye doesn't even give good guides it just shows items and doesn't have very detailed reasons. The PPE videos is the closest you can get to a guide but they never explain in depth what they're looking for. All forums and pages are like 10 years old and so much has changed since then.

I would rather have huntress ability over the archers just saying lol

HUNTRESS IS SO GOOD how dare you

Huntress is my favorite class, but I would never recommend it to a new player. It's just kinda bad lol

I’m so hungry

No new players use space for abilities, the default was changed right click

tbh, slow ain't that bad in early game and the huntress aoe can help clearing groups of lesser enemies, i don't think huntress is as bad as you potray it in early game

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Great video apart from the huntress slander...

Sebchoof let me out pls

Isnt kensie just a better ninja?

is it worth playing this game again lmao. hows the playerbase as of 2024.

what is soulbound?

Mystic is the goat

What's the background music at 3:00?

I will not stand for this samurai slander 😢

what an amazing video i am going to unsubscribe from afro rotmg

weird cut at 15:58

Hmm

Fastest comment in the west

I like huntress :(

🙈

Definitely not first

optimistic of you to assume this game even gets new players 😭

This is the worst take I have ever seen on the wizard.

A

there are newcomers?

l

First

I hate you now because of our differing opinions

what a terrible video i am going to watch afro rotmg instead

This game doesn't get new players because it and its players are hostile towards new players.
