Greetings!

I'm overwhelmed with joy and excitement to finally get the chance to play DBO!

I've played a good bunch of MMORPGS in the past but this time, it's about my favorite anime, things are about to get real.

I need to clear out something first, since this is not your typical ''Tank/Mage/Ranger/Support'' type MMORPG, or at least, makes it seem like.

I have no idea what to expect or what to build.

For instance, does being a Saiyan grant me the ability to transform at the full moon, hahaha.

On a serious note, how does it all work? What can be comparable to the usual Tank/Mage/Ranger/Fighter/Support role?

To guide whomever's going to provide information, I HAVE TO try doing a Kamehameha, or even better, a Spirit Bomb.

What are the advantages of each race? Does being a Namekian have anything to do with being able to get in touch with Kami, thus the Dragon Balls? Or being a Saiyan associates me with Vegeta or Goku early on, etc.

To keep short and simple,

I don't know what to expect from races, what are the roles that usual MMOs associate to? (Fighter/Tank/Support/Mage/Ranger)

-Thank you

I found this related link; http://www.dbocom.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5269 that answers a lot of questions but it has been posted about 2 years ago, so I can't really know if the information is outdated, considering there's been patches and so forth.

Since I expect to be playing alone considering the fact that most people won't speak English, which class can hold it's own through out the whole game? It seems to me that Namekian Dark Warriors would be the way to go.

A lot of question :P
*Humans in this game has only 1% of saiyan race blood therefore they are not able to turn into Ozaru and SSJ like DB heroes used to do. Humans need Shenron's help to turn SSJ so you have to gather 7 DBs and call dragon and he will turn you into SSJ

*There are roles and it goes like this:
best healer Dende (Ep heal and highest healing ability) second best healer Poko (has heals but cant compare to Dende in healing)

Best Tank Dark Warrior(specially for farming and doing a lot of AoE dmg) Best Tank Shadow Knight (because of Aoe Stun and high duration taunt, not many Aoe)

Best AoE DPS Turtle(two OP kamehas, and many more AoEs with great crit and dmg) Second Aoe DPS Plasma (has some very good AoEs to deal dmg)

Fastest speed DPS Fighter (thunder + blist fist + speed weps = OP speed) Second speed DPS Poko (best speed buff for speed party) Third speed DPS Karma (great AoE speed buff. when combined with poko makes a fast party)

Best buffs Ultimate (THE best buffer in my opinion. can also do well as a tank) Second buffs Chef (has better dmg than Ult and has dex and con buffs, more dmg buffs(chef) than survival buffs(ult))

Highest 1 vs 1 dmg Swordsman (I believe SM can probably do the highest crit.)

Highest DoT Aoe dmg Crane (their DoT are deadly. can use burn or bleed.)

Highest DoT 1 vs 1 dmg Shadow Knight (Bold Strike, % based DoT = OP)

ok that pretty much sums it up lol.

*There isn't such attack as Spirit Bomb. Kamehameha have like 6 classes but the strongest one has Turtle Hermit.

*Each race has it's own transformations and masterclasses. Namekians can turn into Great Namek, Majins into Kid Buu and Humans into SSJ

* On TW version on server 2 there are a lot of englisch speaking players so you can easily find party. You don't need to make a solo only character but if you want it so much I reccomend Dark Warrior (cause you don't need to spend a lot of money to enjoy this class)

Choose SK and you will be able to kill most of the ppl in DBO.
As for the rest.. Poko is summoner class, Dende healer, Dark Warrior is tank class, fighter and swordsman are meele dps classes and crane/turtle hermits are range dps. Majins are like buffer class, supporters.

Sorry to disapoint you but there is no balance in DBO and all classes are messed up with their roles.
