So I keep seeing all of the lovable Chua, and I have to settle on one.  The problem is, I love playing stalker and Chua cannot be stalkers.  I've said many times that I will reroll the instant Chua can become stalkers, and this is true...but I need a Chua to play now.  Mostly for drunken shenanigans.
 
So my question is simply, which Chua class would be best for drunken shenanigans?  Discuss.

Obviously engineer.
 
The bots are already drunk, they'll make great company!	
----
			Honestly that's what I'm thinking.  And how appropriate of you to get first reply :p	
----
			
Spellslingers allow you to hang back during boss fights and play with one hand while you down another beer.
(Well for me it's always coca cola but ya know)	
----
			
Hehe, well... I was lurking around with nothing to do. Been up all night... 9:30 here, I'm probably a bit loopy.
 
On a more serious note - I have a friend who plays Chua Engineer and it looks awesome. The weapon is very... oversized and the attacks all look like they should be blasting him out of orbit.

You can totally stand in red until maybe the later part of Farside. ^^

Well I'm mainly asking about ease of play.  Niliana has the right idea with that reply.  I have a lowbie Spellslinger but I dunno how they do later on, and the emphasis I always see on mobility kinda makes me wary of making one for my "drunken shenanigans" character.
 
I almost miss my drunken tanking days in WoW.

if you intend to go as a healer, might make you want to shoot people in the back of the head from time to time...

What exactly is drunken shenanigans? For RP?
 
What resource management? :lol: I just round out mobs and press keys while mostly looking at other things on the 2nd monitor. I call it the peripheral vision questing.

			You might want to take the spellslinger in that case. I main an esper and while people often scoff at the class for having light armour thus an easy victim when it comes to telegraph damage, the abundance of healing skills more than compensates for it. I'm soloing group quest monsters and generally fare well as a clicker with slow reaction time. Yes, as a clicker.

I am confuse.

Apologies. I should have been more clear. I meant that cloth users (esper and spellslinger) might seem like a bad choice first until you realise how great it is to simply compensate for mistakes via healing. You fail to get out of a telegraph in time or go Rambo and pull too many mobs? Just use healing and a defensive cooldown then you're good to go.
 
The two classes offer a similar playstyle in that regard.

Making an adorable chua is harder than it looks.  Do I go for the giant ears that every single cute chua has, or attempt to make the itty bitty ears work?
 
Choices, choices.	
----
			Well if you roll spellslinger expect a lot of jealousy.	
----
			Spellslingers WTF blow everything up in low levels. For me it wasn't until the 40's that I found equal level competition. You want crazy fun times while drinking? Should be fun with a drunken Chua running from Dungeon trash and bosses you consistently yank off tanks. Void Slip is your friend, until you zone back out into random red telegraphs. Void Slip, you cruel cruel *cupcake*.	
----
			Well spellslingers are balance at 50 but some players just have to make a big fuss over it.

			I have it narrowed down to Engineer and Spellslinger.  And after testing emotes I'm going with big ears.  I don't care if everyone uses them...they're adorable.

+1 Engineer.
 
At least when you're drunk their AI will make sense to you.
 
And you'll both have the same pathing issues.

			Engineer is currently OP right.

			The iddy biddy ears are ADORABLE. I made a Chua with the tiniest ears, and the really, really sad-looking eyes and it was so sweet-looking and sad, it was hard not to just hug and cuddle the poor thing.

 But I'd have to be a scientist if I go engi.  Because if I'm going to have a bot army, I'm going all the way.
----
			Idk, I groove really well with my esper when I'm hammered (melee mage, grab everything in a 50 mile radius and kill it dead), I find my engie mind numbly boring. And since I play for fun and not FOTM....  :P I won't be surprised when engies aren't top dogs after the AP scaling fix either.	
----
			Just all.

			Word of advice, Sign in thorugh 2-step before you crack open that beer!

I still remember the other guy who posted half drunk complaining that the game was too hardcore to login to with 2 step while drunk XD

Not sure if too late but I'm here to say no to engi for drunken times. 
 
Reasons. 
1. Good resource management is finicky. Staying between 30-70 requires that you pay attention. 
2. Even if you don't care about #1 cause mobs eventually die, the engi rotation without the 30-70 babysitting and instacast is some slow arse shit that gets tedious and dangerous fast. Our moves are slow, the load up is slow, our movement gets decimated with slow. When played well, no issue, but you're playing drunk. 
3. Bots. They will kill you. You're too drunk to manage their aggro pull, too drunk to dismiss and recast them or press follow button. They will grab primes on you in many areas. No, they don't get better if you're just as drunk as they are. 
 
Medic. Medium armor. Nobody expects miracles. You have to be close enough just to cast your stuff, so it's okay if you're playing like a shoe. On engi, they came close, ugh, slow to get away and you might miss some abilities. 
 
Esper swim in heals and cc. With the movement change or playing the melee esper... A melee esper feels already drunk. 
 
Spellslinger, you are going to void slip into death. Drunk fact. 
 
Have fun.

			Granok Warrior is my drunken character, so I play that after a few beers. (If you get ganked by a really bad Granok Warrior on Warbringer, that's probably me).

Madda suggests making a drinking game out of this.
 
Rolled an Engineer? Take a shot for each time you must use an ability to spend Volatility. Take two if you've maxed Assault Bot.
Roll a Medic? Take a shot everytime you lay down a field and the tank pulls the mob out of it for no particular reason.

			I rolled a Chua SpellSlinger.  It feels very rocket Racoonish.  There is just something appealing to me about a fuzzy little creature that will blast your face off.
