I know some people are going say "It all depends on the person playing the class" as well as "every class has a specific role, so one isn't more valuable over another."

Nah everybody is just going to say enchanter

[Teppler]

Necromancer of course! Roots, CC, DPS, best mana regen and heals even though they are poverty heals!

[Sinestria]

Bard, shaman/enchanter

People's responses in this thread made me lol.

CC is nice, heals, debuffs are nice, but the above mentioned trio of most valuable in a group... Especially at high level

Enchanter - Had TONS of groups from low-mid-end game levels without enchanters, and we did just fine. It's nice to have them around, but crucial? Naw

Shaman - Once again, when building a group, is /who all LFG shaman the first thing I'd look up? Hells no

Bard - They are / were so far and few between when building groups, I never even considered them usually when inviting. If there was one nearby LFG or a friend who was a bard happened to be on I'd invite him.


Now, these 3, fun to have? Sure, helpful to have? of course, essential? Nope.

So if they aren't essential, then how can they be "MOST VALUABLE"

druid / shaman can serve as the group's healer until mid game... Then cleric's become a must.


Warrior / SK / Paladin = MUST have in functioning exp group, who is most valuable out of the 3 is up for debate.

Cleric = MUST have in functioning exp group 40+

Then there's everything else.

Who makes the flashy play's and sexy buffs? Not the cleric / tank.

Who keeps the essential cogs of the group machine running smoothly?
The tank and cleric.

Who is the only class in the game with cheal? Cleric.



Cleric is the most valuable class in groups. That's the original question, and that's the answer.

Now for soloing, duos, etc that's a whole nother story.

Someone is upset his class is not most valuable

Cleric is definitely required in high-end groups. Druid/Shamans (with Chanter or Bard mana regen) can heal in Karnor's-type content. When you get into higher Sebilis/Charasis/Chardok though Clerics become necessary.

Warrior/SK/Paladin... lolno. Ranger / Monk tank just fine in basically any group content.

bled is right. And when Velious comes out they will be even MORE desirable. All of my high level toons are healers. Cleric, Shaman, Druid. I can tell you no way my Shaman can do what the Cleric does with ease.

Still gonna say Epic Rogue. When mobs die in 10 seconds who needs CC, heals or a tank?
