If each class was a college major, what would they be?

[sox7d]

All I know is Cleric, Warrior, Chanter, Rogue would be the new STEM.

Ranger would probably be liberal arts.

[myriverse]

Warrior would probably be the undeclared/general.

[doeda]

Ranger would probably be liberal arts.

I lol'd in my class so hard

[myxomatosii]

Chemistry & Biology would be Shaman.

I was gonna say Anatomy but that sounds more offensive.

Anatomy probably better suited to Rog/Monk/War, with various specializations like Surveillance, Meditation, or Weaponary.

Zoology and Horticulture would probably be Rangers and to a lesser extent Druids.

Hmm, what else.. will edit.

[Funkutron5000]

Paladin would clearly be any major full of cool dudes that like to party and have a good time.

[Aeolwind]

Necromancer - Forensic anthropology
Shadowknight - PE & Anatomy. Hybrids have a double major, accounts for the XP penalty.

[Daldaen]

Bards Music... Though I don't feel that major does justice for the amount of effort required to do well as a bard.

[Nocte]

Warrior - MBA: Focused on loot distribution (especially for MTs) and leadership.
Rogue - Medical School: Backstabbing, and overdoses of organic compounds (poison)
Wizard - International Studies: Nukes and ports
Paladin - Women's Studies: Whiny, blinding, overly defensive of role in the group
Shadowknight - Psychology: Questionable ability to do anything except lay down, insistent upon his own validity
Magician - Geology: the 4 pet types are representative of geological effects
Cleric - Occupational Therapy: no explanation needed.

Also, for any raiders on this server, add a Law Degree. ;)

[Daldaen]

Rogues don't go to medical school. That implies some level of intelligence, playing the rogue class... Doesn't . No offense to rogues, but yea backstabbing and auto attack and hide aren't rocket science.

I may be looking at this the wrong way though.

I'll Play

warrior - Communication/Rhetoric - gotta know how to keep that agro
rogue - Economics/Business - sneak, backstab, pick pocket. sounds about right
monk - Physical Therapy - they'll give you a work out

enchanter - Political Science - expert faction manipulators
magician - Alchemy - create something out of nothing
necromancer - Forensic Science - they know dead
wizard - Physics - nukes and portals

shaman - Biology and Chemistry - wis castors
cleric - Religious Studies - are pretty
druid - Earth Science - self explanatory

bard - Applied Music - once more, with feeling
shadow knight - Psychology - ...beams a smile, "now how does that make you feel?"
paladin - Philosophy - something something metaphysics
ranger - English - good luck getting a job

[Nocte]

Alchemy isn't a college major.

[snwbrdr642]

no but i think its awesome, geology is a good choice for mage as well

[myxomatosii]

I'm gonna break the mold a bit and say gnomes would be the only engineers.

Not class specific, more of a racial thing.

Animal and Dairy Science - Chardok AE Group Proxies - milking that exp, son!
Agriculture and Applied Economics - Druid - You have become better at Forage! (2), Porting for donations! You have a southern drawl, even when you type...
Applied Mathematical Science - You have been banned for using 3rd party software!
Early Childhood Education - Paladin - start on them young, I'm sure they will believe you! Also considered a prerequisite for becoming someone's Wife. You might look good in that shiny plate, but the only people who appreciate you are small children and the guy who is banging you.
Economics - Bankers and Mules. Enjoy not selling those GEBs for your asking price. You have been slain by a_tunnel_rat00!
French (changed major from Kinesiology) - Bards - Sirken has nerfed Low HP kiting, might as well surrender!
Masters in Internet Technology - Swish - MOAR GIFs Plz kthxbye
Special Education - Rangers - only good for tracking down retardedly rare mobs, enjoys a nice bowl cut, usually covered in bodily fluids.

english is a heavy dose of rhetoric, but spot on on the "good luck getting a job"

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Ranger = culinary arts at DeVry

[indiscriminate_hater]

Bards are comm majors because it's so damn easy to level

[Ciroco]

Bards: Music (no wai)
Clerics: Public Health
Druid: Ecology
Enchanter: Psychology
Magician: Geology
Monk: Kinesiology
Necromancer: Toxicology
Paladin: Criminal Justice
Ranger: Geography
Shadowknight: I can't think of anything clever besides what I put for Necro
Shaman: Anthropology
Warrior: Peace and Conflict Studies (apparently it's a real thing at Cal)
Wizard: Nuclear Engineering

[Gnomersy]

Monk is definitely the drop out who ends up being a Hare Krishna.

[Laok]

Bards are music majors with a track scholarship

Yea because any other melee class requires intelligence in this game? The ranger hitting snare, or the warrior hitting taunt really isn't much more complicated than a Rogue hitting back stab, or any other class for that matter.

Rogue is definitly an Anatomy and Physiology major =D.

Thus why classic melee classes feel so mindless to play for me.

Taunt/Kick/Bash
FD/FK
Backstab/Hide/Sneak

Very one sided to it. Monks at least have the requirement to learn how to pull. Warriors I guess get to click a mallet every once in awhile but that is just a 2nd taunt button that costs platinum.

[Dezik]

Well, if you are playing EQ for some thought provoking complex and strategy intensive gaming I think you have the wrong game haha. I just prefer the rogue from an RP and class defining perspective, and from that perspective I definitly think medical school fits, because what other class can eviscerate your kidneys in a matter of seconds?

[Daldaen]

Necromancers.

Black magic and shit.
