What class is the least dependent on gear and most dependent on skills ?
 
I would say chanter.
Any other opinions ?

Wizard, monk

*edit* monk gets better with gear but face value you don't need nice weapons to do decent dps; also the ac bonus is in effect for being under, like, 15 in weight?

I'd say enchanter or bard. Both can be geared respectably on the cheap, and both are amazingly powerful classes that require the player to be very reactive. Monk is also up there, but definitely more gear dependent than bards or chanters.

I would say Enchanter as well. I am a little biased because it is my favorite class, but Loke hit the nail on the head. It's all about the reaction time. On big pulls its about assisting the MT, and then cycling through the other targets for mez. The quicker the better for the entire group.

Although better gear gives you more mana and keeps you alive longer when you get a resist, it's not absolutely vital to be a good Enchanter.

Bard.

They really don't need great gear to do great things.

Enchanters do need a basic CHA set, and a few clickies to do great things. Bards can do what they do without any gear at all except perhaps a vendor bought instrument.

I'd agree enchanter. Especially at this late stage of Kunark era, you can pretty cheaply get your cha + int to the soft cap. And that's about all you need. The rest is just your tactics.

I guess the skill requirement of a necro could be argued, but due to the hp/mana regen, I notice little difference in my full gear vs naked as an iksar necromancer (other than circlet of shadow of course).

Obviously you can't do as much (maybe only 2 or 3 dark blues at a time vs 5 for root rotting), and breaking a difficult camp would be harder naked, but unlike most classes, a lack of gear doesn't make it near impossible to be efficient on one.

Necromancer - unless you plan to root/rot 2-3 mobs at a time, its not going to make much difference whether you're naked or not.
