What is the best class to AFK on raids with?
 
Thinking of rolling a char on blue. What is the best class to do as little as possible on raids while sometimes still getting awarded some lewts?

Hm, what is the point of getting loot on any given class if you are only looking to AFK on raids? Are you not passionate about playing that class? Or is it just the "other people awarding me loot" that you find satisfying?

I'd say maybe a shadow knight. There will probably be other offtanks, so you can probably often AFK; you have no buffs to offer others; and when you do get loot, you can eventually solo a lot of mobs on that SK. Mobster on Red is able to solo Tranix and more.

wizard maybe? be sure to go /role so they don't ask you for tl boxes.

I just find raiding usually excruciatingly boring.

I was thinking SK too.

Bard - Put on mana song near the clerics and AFK all you want and literally no one will notice.

Source - plays Bard sometimes

EDIT: If you are melee and not meleeing people will notice. If you are a wizard there will be times when you need to port and TL people. Druids, Enchanters, and Shamans get tells to buff constantly, Necros need to twitch, Mages need to...well they are a good AFK class also unless your COTHing. The thing is all a Bard is really expected to do is occlusion of sound a mob sometimes and then sing regen songs. You AFKing is still technically fulfilling your role.

The reality is most people don't do a lot on raids - even the tanks get breaks when discs are down and a new tank steps in. Monk and Rogue are probably the most "active" because you need them DPSing at all times and pulling

SKs can cast Resist Cold! That's not bad in TOV.

In VP, you'll get called out (along with Necros) often by name to do a trainup. So don't recommend AFKing in VP :)

Bard all the way. But if you die while afk and you get a Rez box and don't take it they will know and eventually you will get the boot.

Druids are worth a mention.
