Hi everyone !
Can't go wrong with Warrior, IMO. Has a pretty high skill cap, good Warriors can pull off some nasty plays. So replay value is pretty high since you can hone your skills to a masterful degree. Some complicated mehanics like animation cancels. One of the best all-arounder classes in game. Good in small scale / GVG, one of the best 1v1 class with pretty much all the tools you need for 1v1 in his kit, good PVE, and only really falls off a little in siege because of a somewhat missing identity in large scale, I feel. (Is he a front-line / engage, is he a flanker, is he a skirmisher, or is he a little of everything?).
I'd vote for Warrior :) I also hear Hash is in a good spot ATM, but haven't tried the class much. Awakening Nova is good in PVE I hear, but not that good in 1v1, but is only what I hear from others. Haven't played Awak. Nova much either, but do know her vacuum ability is amazing for group fights. Kuno, I like this class, but feel she's too similar to Ninja if you're looking for a change of pace. I just vote Warrior because he's known to be well rounded, and a little bias opinion - his mechanics are pretty dope.
Hope you find a class you love to play!!
I only know what I know from hearsay but: Kuno and hash too similiar to ninja, I think.
Warrior is cool, a classic choice. Nova seems good, you get dmg and mobility with awa and sustain and defense with succ; she seems a varied character.
I was kind of disappointed with Hash. Up to 56 and awakening, he seems like he's going to be great, but then both awakening and succession to me were just meh. It was like you have to work too hard to put out the same damage as "less complicated" manuevers of some other classes. I will say that the succession tornadoes are a cool visual effect.
I love Nova. I have been "maining" her for a bit. Her awakening and succession are totally different play style from each other, so you have a choice between letting your "minions" do your dirty work (succession) or doing it yourself (awakening.) Succession may seem slow and clunky at first until you learn how to make your conjures do what you want them to do. The damage that the big ass demon does is amazing, but at the expense of HP, so you need to be aware of your health bar at all times. You don't want to be a low health when you pull off one of his more draining skills. Awakening, on the other hand is fast paced, and you have to time your attacks and cc's to be most beneficial. Hit the boost skill and everything doubles the speed at which it happens. I will say that awakening damage is a bit lower than it could be, but it makes up for that with the speed in which you can hit enemies. Both of the styles can make use of "Qblock" which is basically full-time SuperArmor with minions that attack anything that attacks you. In certain situations, you can literally go refill your coffeecup while your minions kill things for you... as long as nothing comes up behind you or breaks your block, you're good.
So, I hope this helps a bit. If you need any more help, DM me here and I can answer questions for you.
Go warrior. Kuno just a shity version of ninja in every way I would know I mained kuno for 4 years and have recently given up hope that PA will ever buff her to a competitive state for either PVP or PVE. Nova ok at PVE but is complete 100% dogshit in every form of PVP. And hash is a half ass rushed barely finished class that was only created to encourage sales on character bound items so it not enjoyable to play and any experienced player will easily be able to counter you as a hash and kill you sense the class moves are very easy to predict.
I've played all of those :)
I suppose from that list warrior would be best, he's high combo difficulty though but if you don't mind that, it could very well be the class for you.
