I was the highest level Enchanter on my server, but haven't played for 3 days because it's really hard to find a group when everyone is lower level than you are + there's a major shortage of tanks, and unlike EQ, if you don't have a tank, you literally cannot do anything.
That's my main complaint about the game honestly. Like you know how on EQ, 2 random players could group in GFAY or NRO and just start killing stuff? Maybe even go to Oasis and duo some crocs, pick up a 3rd or 4th player here and there, and exp away?
That's not a thing in Pantheon. You cannot really do anything meaningful without a full group that has a tank in it. Someone told me you also can't do anything without an Enchanter (IDK how accurate this is since I always play Enchanter, but I do know if a single mob doesn't get CC'd or someone breaks it, it's almost a guaranteed wipe).
I'm still hopeful for the game, but that's the main things I want to see changed
like make it to where solo'ing sucks, but is still a viable option for non summoner/necromancers. make it to where duo'ing and trio'ing is still a viable form of exp'ing. make it to where groups can still kill some stuff without tanks.
like my group was full except for a tank when someone in our group decided they wanted to try killing a single mob that we normally kill with ease with a tank in the group. despite having two healers, the group completely wiped in like 20 seconds.
i feel like also:
1) make tanks deal more damage. like you know how warriors in EQ are also kind of damage dealers? Well tanks in Pantheon are basically worse versions of prot warriors in WoW, they literally do less damage than healers, and no one wants to play them.
2) make some of the other melee dps a little bit tanky so groups can pull single mobs while looking for a tank. like it actually blows my mind how rangers and rogues get melted as fast as a wizard. ive never seen a monk in my group btw because they dont start near the elves and halflings.

game is still great and promising, but those are two things i would like to see changed. like i havent actually quit, im just hoping people will catch up to me in level so i can get more groups, and maybe ill play p99 for the xmas bonus. what was happening to me when i was playing, i was having to group with people way lower level than me doing content way too low level for me since they were the only people online, and when we died, i was losing more exp than i was gaining since the exp in those groups was terrible for me.
and dying in pantheon is really easy, even if mobs are low level. Like it's very believable that a level 15 enchanter would easily get killed by a gray con level 4 elite. Maybe something they also need to address in the future.
