What class is under played the most?

[hedbonker]

I would guess cleric is a safe bet. Easy to get groups, can solo decently if geared. And not a day goes by that I do not get /t trying to recruit me to some raiding guild. So I have to assume it's a needed class...

Part of the old-school crushbone charm is the fact that, out of necessity, you see Ranger and Paladin tanks, crazy druid healing/tanking groups, and all sorts of wackiness based on the limited number of classes/races that start on Fayder.

The only classes you can't start on Faydwer are Shaman, Monk, and Shadowknight.

Back on live the zone was generally full of rangers and druids...

Does anyone remember at what point Gnome Shadowknights were added? Was it Luclin? Just curious. I tried to ignore them as best I could back in the day.

There's a shortage of tanks at the lower levels; don't know what its like in comparison to the higher levels though. So any Warrior / Paladin / Shadow Knight (I'd recommend Paladin or Shadow Knight, better snap aggro compared to a warrior), or Clerics, are underplayed for sure.

You see a lot of Druids, Shaman, Monks, Bards, Necromancers, and Magicians. So anything that's NOT one of them is an under played class IMHO. :3

It had to be Luclin. A quick google search brings you to the SafeHouse forums, with posts from March 2002 that Gnome SKs/Paladins and Halfling Rangers/Paladins have been added:

Luclin came out 4 months earlier, in December 2001.

So yea, shorty hybrids were a Luclin era thing.

I have a soft spot for Halfling Rangers, despite never playing either one.

Halflings just look excellent in green.

Pick a class which you would like to play!

If you are more concerned about grouping, play a class from the "holy trinity" Tank (any of the three), Cleric or Enchanter. When I am on with one of those classes and have to leave and can't find a replacement, it can really hurt a group to the point where it breaks up. :-/ (so I always do my best). Clerics can be replaced by other priest classes though in a pinch.
Regardless of what you choose, there will always be times when it's tough to get into a group. It's best to start a group on your own in these cases but that can be a challenge too if people don't throw on their LFG tags.

Monks or mages without a doubt most overplayed.
