Definitely short of Pal and SK. Lots of Wars, but I think XP groups generally prefer Knight for tank, and really, how many Wars are going to be needed for raids?

Actually, if you look at it, very few rangers and not many bards, either. Am I the only one that thinks the 40% penalty may be having a significant effect on how many people are willing to play hybrids?

Warriors are needed for raids, and any raid force would enjoy 3ish warriors per raid. 1 works, but 3 would be nice for off tanking and such.

I think it affects them, but more or less there are a lot more sk's and paladins than you think. Rangers don't do the DPS of other classes (rogue, for example) in classic, and they wont till way later. Never played a classic ranger, but i'd assume it goes way up in kunark, at least from the items and weapons i've seen.

Bards are still somewhat bugged, and may not be able to get fixed. until they are 50 and skill levels+raid items basically make the bugs 100% obsolete, they are going to be a tough class to play.
