Which class gets the most respect for being good at their class?
 

Was wondering which class you all give props/respect to when you see them playing their class better then most people? For example, a Cleric who never lets anyone in the group die, an Enchanter who never miss's a mez, a bard who always has 4 songs up etc.

Which class in your opinion gets the most respect and a great reputation for being good at what he/she does?

People who play their class well and don't expect a cookie for it.

A Ranger that out tanks/aggros an SK in a group

Has always been clerics, at least on live.

I never got more compliments than when fulfilling CC on my bard.

I'd say enchanter. If a good chanter can keep mobs mezzed before it whacks a caster, and can do it without dropping half their own health bar in the process, they are what I consider a good chanter.

Same goes for bards that keep 4-ish songs twisted that vary given the situation (not just blasting mana song, regen, and haste the entire time).

Same goes for pullers that can find that good spot to duck out of the fight early enough to bring a new mob, but not so soon that they aren't doing their part for DPS.

Rangers that don't die.

Rogues that use Evade as often as it is available and not just when they get agro.


As for clerics, not letting people die (aside from their own mistakes) is kind of part of the job. I'd say a good cleric might manage his/her mana so that they aren't low every 3rd pull, but that also depends on the rest of the group not being booger-eating chuckleheads, too.

Anyone who takes accountability for protecting the people they're grouping with from dying/wiping, even at the expense of their own death.

It really depends on the player.

But for the most part a good bard, i mean really good, is rare.

Bard
Monk
Enchanter
Shaman

In about that order. Those classes are a lot easier to suck at than others. Playing a cleric is fucking easy breezy, I don't know why they need praise.
