I am curious, what's an underplayed class and race on here?

[Mustaza]

Rogue, wizard, and paladin.

[Deathrydar]

Rogue, wizard, and paladin.

[Giopawa]

Paladin? Really? I would believe Rogue or Wizard lol.

[Ektar]

paladins aren't very good at anything. why does that surprise you?

[Giopawa]

I see them played pretty often is why lol
Shocked Ranger isn't up there.

[Ektar]

lol I think ranger is the least played, but it was just left out because it's in a whole different realm

[Giopawa]

I just want to try out the least played class on here. And or maybe race.

human ranger

[VincentVolaju]

Lately Ive seen more Rangers then Pallys, Id agree on Rogue / Wizzy as 2 least played.

[Pyrocat]

Ranger, followed by wizard. Paladins and Warriors seem kind of rare too. There are a lot of rogues though.

Least played race? Depends on the class. I haven't seen a whole lot of ogres or humans.

Paladin-Ranger-Mage-Bard-Wizard 50+ according to Uth's stats.

Seems to make sense - I see rogues around seb/kc constantly. Didn't see a single paladin on Sunday in seb, but I wasn't exactly doing a /who constantly. I see lots of SKs.

[falkun]

Thank you Pescador. I had just found Uthgaard's graph again to put that here. I swear this question gets asked EVERY time the previous post leaves the first page. Use the search button people, it works.

[Obliterator]

I see lots of rogues... I don't think they're really on the uncommon end of the class spectrum. I'd say that rangers and wizards are the rarest 2 classes

[Nytewind TP]

And I never thought or believed Warriors were a rare class.

[Striiker]

I keep hearing that Paladins are largely underplayed. This works out for those who do play them as there's a lot of class-speciffic items which sell for peanuts compared to similar class items. Paladins are much like many other classes where if played well, Paladins are a great asset. If you don't learn the intricacies of the class, you will suck. I grouped once with a Paladin and he really helped the group with stuns, agro spells, etc. I rarely got agro on my enchanter thanks to the paladin really working his class.

Play a half-elf Paladin if you ant an underplayed race / class combo. (that was the race/class of my very first EQ character during EQ's launch)

[Striiker]

And I never thought or believed Warriors were a rare class.

I think warriors are rare on P99. I see more shadow knights and paladins than warriors..

[falkun]

I think warriors are rare on P99. I see more ... paladins than warriors..

What crack pipe are you smoking? The paladin population is TINY compared to the warrior population. Which is sad, because I love watching a good paladin tanking in a group.

Sorry your honor, I retract that statement.

Ahh sorry, I think I wasn't clear.. I agreed that the warrior population was thin however I would not say that it's worse than the paladins. In the level ranges which I've been grouping, I found that warriors were not as plentiful at times. I've seen more Shadow Knights (mainly troll and ogres), some paladins and some warriors.

I completely agree that a paladin tanking is great when played by a skilled player. When playing with warriors as a main tank (when I am the enchanter), we need to shift tactics to control agro better. It slows things down a little but not that much.

[JenJen]

cold is the best :)

[Krait]

I'm guessing 100 new Paladins were rolled the night after Uthgaard's chart.

I mean we play p99, we are THAT guy.

I'm gonna make one but not because of that chart, instead because of the dwarf roll video.

[Ektar]

can't be a ninja as a paladin. no dual wield!

except me. I know how to dual wield.

[Krait]

Ya... that's why I did it too. No really, I swear. :D

[deakolt]

you guys won't make it past 20 on your paladins

[Krait]

you guys won't make it past 20 on your paladins

Is that a challenge? I love a good... oh wait, you're right... didn't make it past 2.

[deakolt]

took my paladin to 39 before my brain started to bleed

[Nirgon]

My brother's made it to 45, then guy came back to take over his chanter so I couldn't "PL" his groups at bugs/bats by charming and hasting a beetle.

Big plans of Nature's Defender in Velious we had.

me too!!!

word of advice kids: never plan your character around an item that won't exist until years into the life of your char.

[Nirgon]

You mighta juuuuust fucked up and convinced me to do it now.

Could you 2hand bash with it? I don't think so : /.

[username17]

Not till AAs.

[purist]

Why are people so obsessed with Natures Defender?

The reason ND is unbalanced is not because it is such a great weapon, but because it's a lot easier to obtain compared to the amount of work you need to get a FD.

FD is a lot better.. Better damage, better stats, bash enabled, better proc, better graphic and better resists.

[Ektar]

FD is quite probably the worst epic graphic, and may I say the worst graphic of any weapon

[SupaflyIRL]

FD is quite probably the worst epic graphic, and may I say the worst graphic of any weapon

reminds me of those spinning fire things in super mario bros dungeons

ND looks way cooler though

[Ektar]

looking way cooler than the worst graphic is easy. and I agree :P

[Nirgon]

easier to obtain .

Good proc and good ac.

[Stormhowl]

What happened to playing what you want to play because it's fun? :/

can't be a ninja as a paladin. no dual wield!

Actually a ninja using a single weapon would be more accurate. A ninja dual wielding is less like a ninja, and therefore silly.

[Krait]

But but...

[Ektar]

the "ninja" we're referring to is the ninja from nalkin's video. That ninja dual wielded. therefore, the aforementioned ninja must dual wield.

[Ennoia]

And I never thought or believed Warriors were a rare class.

Warriors in EQ are boring until AA comes out. All they can really do is autoattack, taunt, kick/bash, and use a disc every few minutes. With the right weapons they are most definitely worth having around, they just aren't very fun.

[Krait]

Warriors in EQ are boring until AA comes out.

So if palies suck and warriors are boring is SK the only hope for having fun tanking? Or will someone come and say SKs suck too for some reason?

FD is a lot better.. Better damage, better stats, bash enabled, better proc, better graphic and better resists.

FD has slightly better damage ratio and its proc does 5 points more damage. It's a little bit better on the stats but ND has 30 more AC. 30 AC is a pretty big deal for a tank class.

[deakolt]

pallies don't suck, they're just a PITA to level. A good pally brings a shitload of utility to a group- plus the ability to basically never lose aggro
