What classes are there just not enough of at the moment?

[jtobias1989]

As the title states, What class is just not around enough at the moment?

I'm sure there are many of us looking to perhaps start a new character and aren't really sure which one yet. A demand would lean my decision towards something that would be more wanted.

There aren't very many paladins around these days, though that could be for a different reason.. Feelsbadman.

If there aren't many of them, it's usually because they aren't really wanted. At the high end, you can usually never have too many clerics, hence always a demand.

[Malik_Gynax]

There's plenty of everything... but everyone always wants more clerics and rogues no matter how many you have.

This comment is particularly accurate because a large percentage of either class will be alts, not mains. I've never heard of a guild that felt like it had too many cleric main players, or rogue mains for that matter.

Yeah this is always gonna be the case. They are the bread and butter of a raid. Need'em, can't do it without them. But you can accomplish raids without many of the other classes.. That doesn't mean they don't bring value to raid though!

Everybody brings something to the table.. Whether it's a specific buff, or skill. Literally every class can bring something to the table.

[Legidias]

Get dem wizards and enchanters out soon for anti gate / CH...

[Veleria]

Always feels that while everyone is going nuts for some classes I would love a decent bard in any group.

Voted for all

You know what I very very rarely see is Iksar Monks and Iksar Necromancers....

Very rare... like fine wine-- sold from walmart.

Best bang for your buzz.

[Cecily]

Voted druid, monk, and bard.

[Foxplay]

Never enough rogues, even if your group has 6 rogues still not enough

[Maliant]

This server needs more Divine Strength.

[Kanuvan]

everytime i have a paladin in KC the group is just a exp wrecking ball, just 5x better than warriors for grouping with the roots for CC and that snap aggro plus the emergency LoH if needed, sorry to say but the community as a whole is very wrong about the usefulness of "knights" and hugely overrate warriors, it really is night and day when you have a good knight over a warrior

just because they are not top tier raiding class doesnt make them the worst class far from it

[d3r14k]

Beastlords

[I Felt Nostalgic]

Beastlords

I wanted to make an Iksar Beastlord so bad... :(

[DinoTriz2]

Enchanter, Shaman, and Monk

We need more.

[Rimitto]

from my perspectives, I feel like the server is literally flooded with enchanters, druids, and shamans.

That being said, when I created my warrior, I noticed very few other warriors around. I feel like the server is less tank-heavy and more magic-heavy than anything else.
same with paladins, see very few of those around.

I agree with both knights. More shadow knights and paladins! Id like to make an SK someday soon but its a hard decision on fashion vs function on race.

[Troxx]

Fashion always wins

[Cen]

Fashion always wins

For me it has so far always

SK was the hardest race decision I've ever had. You have the 3 best fashion races, and the 3 best min/max races. I ultimately went with Iksar because I solo mostly, I want regen, and AC bonus. Greenmist is a bit overhyped, but still very cool to have a more attainable 1h epic. The 2hs animation fix is a must. Also because I think at end game they look better than humans in plate. After I saw Parnell it pretty much solidified my SK race decision.

Ahhh paladins. Tank like a cleric and heal like a warrior :)

I think you might be right. Thing is, you are almost always better off with a knight in most grouping situations up until you start raiding. And you want something like 5-10 clerics per war on a raid(aka don't need many wars). Unlike rogues where its more the merrier at end game raiding. And of course the solo terribly, almost as bad as rogues. Are not particularly good in duos/trios unless they have a shaman. Then they are probably the most expensive class to boot. Understandable why they are rare.

[Nexii]

As far as raiding, in AM we seem to lack Bard and Cleric mains the most. But IMO play what you enjoy not what's lacking

[Bristlebaner]

I can't tell you how frustrating the lack of paladins and wizards is. Oh wait, I misunderstood the question.

[kempoguy80]

As a cleric main I find it more difficult to get groups vs when I'm on my rogue. Mostly I think its because if a group already has a cleric they don't want 2, but no one complains about 2 rogues. I voted enchanter though because I hardly ever see them around.

[Ennewi]

Not so much a class but a playstyle--enchanters, necromancers, and druids who consistently keep a charmed pet when grouped. The more people play those classes that way, the less people will assume paladins are garbage.

I've been in double-cleric groups. They were fun - the higher level handled buffs, cc, stuns/dps, patch heals and some pulling, while the lower handled most of the healing. It's a nice change to the playstyle now and then. Plus when the cleric dies, there's one right there to rez them back!

Cleric LFG!

The problem with finding those is they no longer need the group.

I agree broadly but I'm not getting the Paladin connection.

snap aggro.

[Kika Maslyaka]

0 votes for Beastlords. I guess it is the most abundant class on the server...

[Ennewi]

I agree broadly but I'm not getting the Paladin connection.

Paladins can make pet breaks nearly uneventful by alternating stuns to lock down the loose pet, preventing most if not all of its hasted damage, or by tossing out various heals to keep the pure caster alive so the priest can continue to cheal/torpor and canni uninterrupted.

As mentioned above, snap aggro itself is usually enough so other hybrids fill the role adequately. But sometimes aggro doesn't snap and resists inexplicably occur one after the other on the pure caster's end. Having those backup heals just minimizes the risk a bit more. The only incompatible spell paladins have is flash of light which, if it isn't resisted/hasn't worn off, will cause the pet to flee once recharmed. But, even then, flash of light doesn't last long enough to be an issue in most settings.

[Expediency]

Tanks are typically the hardest thing to find when pickup grouping imo, particularly off the beaten path. Pick up groups would do well do pick up a knight even if they have a warrior aready.

[Sonark]

If you ain't first, yer last.

[Dolalin]

I tried leveling a paladin and it got boring as fuck. Already having a warrior main I thought I knew tough grinds but paladin was next level.
