My specs are similar to yours, Rob - except I have an 8800 GTS 640mb
The game shoots up to 9999ms , 0.3 fps in 6v6 pvp, so I'm stuck doing small scale stuff - nothing more than 3v3. I'm going to wait a month for them to fix this shit, if they don't I'll have to upgrade again =\
If you've read the tech forums, surprisingly, turning up game details to high, then turning off shadows gives you much better fps than if you had set everything to lowest. The engine is bugged to hell right now.
So far I have an 80 barb and a bunch of lvl 20 lowbies of each class parked in Tortage.
Barb and Herald of Xotli have been the most satisfying thus far. Tempests / necros / poms are very powerful, they basically one button AOE their way through everything including PVP. It doesn't appeal to me though as casting in AOC is nowhere near as involved as melee combat is. Melee's a BLAST once you get used to the intricacies of it.. right now I've figured out how to block my opponent's combos 100% of the time, while returning my own queued up combo a split second after.. high level melee almost plays like a match of Soul Calibur.
BTW what server did you guys roll on? Xanath, Jabus and I are on Deathwhisper (ffa pvp).
