What should I play in the stress test?
#7
I've played the Paladin during most of the beta (a little hunter and a little warrior sprinkled in there as well). It's been an interesting and fun ride, but it's getting increasingly harder to solo at higher levels. The Paladin is definitely gear dependent, but for the starting few levels, if you chose to play one, you'd be ok for the most part.

I don't think you'll have trouble finding a party to play with, so the pitfalls of soloing with a "gimpy" class, such as the Paladin, won't be an issue.

So, basically, pick whatever you want. Play a bunch, play a few, play one -- you'll get a feel for the game within the first few hours, and you can extrapolate how your character's career will go from there. As more skills become available, your style of play changes slightly, but for the most part, the way you play your class of choice will be pretty standard by level 20ish.

Places like Westfall where there are items that spawn (the oats quest comes to mind) or monsters that need killing (the harvesters) will be interesting to see how they are dealt with during the stress test. I bet there will be lots of camping done, and lots of time spent waiting for respawns.
"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
