Raid Main

[byron2286]

Heya everyone!

Which class stands a better chance at getting raid spots once 60? (lets say both classes are played with a good amount of skill) I'm liking both classes I just really miss EQ raiding and want back in. Trying to decide which I wanna take to 60 first.

Rogue vs Shammy

Rogue.

Shamans are extremely overpopulated due to soloability. On Velious raids you want 3-4 of them for Torpor heals, debuffs, and buffs. Don't need much more than that.

Rogues however you want 30+ for that DPS that isn't inhibited by mana or contingent on discs being up. Rogues also are extremely easy to level, gear (having epic be a 15/20 with 40% Haste is huge). That being said, I dunno how much gear a merit guild will give you on a rogue as getting gear on a rogue in Velious won't really impact your performance much at all beyond a tad more survivability.

:eek:

[Daldaen]

Yea 15/25, whatever. Still stupidly OP for how easy the epic is.

Ogre monk for the frontal stun immunity or uninstall

No one actually wants to play a Shaman for raiding though, so they are rarer.

Europa got plenty, what are you doing to your shamans in BDA? :p

It's all that talk of frontal stun immunity :(

[Daldaen]

Probably those shamans are getting asked for buffs from people who shouldn't ask for those buffs.

If a fight has no AEs and you aren't a puller, tank or CC class, you don't need symbol, sorry.

Or in the case of shamans. No Monks, I will not STR, DEX, AGI and STA you. In fact no STA unless you're out pulling, which far too many P99 monks can't do now that sneak isn't an easy button.
