Magicians have CotH which makes repping group members easy and is required when needing to relocate an entire raid from one part of the zone to another. Along with Necromancers, they are the best class versus Phinny. If CotH races ever see the light of day again, they will once again be front and center for raids.

I struggled a little to put mage on that list but in the end you cant solo, duo or trio as well as other classes and your reduced to a coth guy in raids. I would be super bummed if I made a mage and did not know this.

Necromancers are the best at preventing full wipes / reducing CR time, with feign death, coffins, and ee rez. They are also the best at providing mana on short notice.

Necros I think are arguably the most overrated class in the game. If I started a necro and didn’t know I would end up a casual soloing class and a twitch pump in raids I would be upset.

Paladins and Shadow Knights are the best snap aggro tanks. This is not insignificant since VP is still a high priority for top guilds, as are Kunark dragons, which need to be burnt down.

Its been a long time since I raided VP but I do not remember pallies or sk’s tanking. Snap aggro equates to nothing. Warriors always use snap aggro clicks on raid targets anyway so not sure what your talking about.

Rangers have the best version of track and are ideal for bumping targets, Sev races, VS kills, etc. Harmony makes them the best pullers in outdoor dungeons.

Everything a Ranger does best equals nothing. Everything impactful they do is done better by a different class.

Porting is a reliable, laid back way to make plat, especially if you don't raid, allowing you to rake in profits whenever it quakes. Camps are not always open, but players always need ports. And there's always the rare tip that far exceeds the average. Sometimes players are in a rush and need to get from point A to point B without any stops along the way, or they're just feeling generous and want to display their e-wealth.

I’m not knocking druids. I think they are an underrated class. I disagree with the advice I often see about porting to make plat. This is horrible advice. You can make similar platinum xping in your 20’s with any class.

Bards offer the best regen in the game, esp with lute equipped. Their mana regen stacks with Enchanters' and, unlike clarity, it effects Necromancers. Their damage shields stack with others, as do their resist songs which are unmatched. With singing steel helm, they are the best pullers in a group setting.

The best regen in the game equates to nothing. Their best attribute is the stacking of their songs which I’m not sure is worth replacing another class. I forgot to mention Bards are wanted for their resist song so I will concede to that. They are a shitty chanter if you need one. The hybrid penalty during most of game ruins them for XP. There is no need for any messing about when pulling for xp you just pace the mobs with the healers mana and there’s a million ways to split if needed.
