What makes each class unique?

[mokfarg]

Hi all,

If you were going to describe each classes' selling points in classic EQ (up to Velious), what would they be? Think about it as if you were a salesman and a person knowing nothing of EQ walked in your lobby. I am curious because EQ is so different today, classes are not very unique from each other anymore and most websites go by today's EQ for class descriptions. So why would I play a ________ ? I will go first though my memory is fuzzy on specifics and I may be wrong.

Rogue - Highest Melee DPS (Possible Highest of All?), Corpse Retrieval


Warrior - Best Class at Damage Reduction, Most Desired Raid Tank


Paladin - Tank (I do not much on this one, not very familiar with the class)


Shadowknight - Best Agro Generating Tank


Wizard - Highest Magic DPS, Ports, Evacuation


Magician - Solo Capability, DPS, Best Damage Sheild


Ranger - Puller, Medium DPS


Bard - Jack of All Trades, Mez, Puller, Heals, Solo Kiting


Monk - Best Puller, DPS, Medium Tank



Shaman - Best Slow, Haste, Great Buffs, Heals


Druid - Great Kiting Soloer, Healer, Damage Sheild


Cleric - Best Healer, Best Rez


Enchanter - Best Crowd Control, Best Haste Buff, Great Mana Regen Buff
