What is each classes role / responsibilities in a raid?

As a shammy, my job tends to be answering buff requests, Malo/Slow on mobs, and Malo'ing any charm breaks, and usually a spot heal on the pet's owner [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Warrior has a discipline in kunark called evasive that reduces their chance at getting hit by a significant amount. There are some bosses where this is extremely useful!

Lol. Doesn't matter if warriors are literally invincible. If they can't hold aggro, they're as useless as a cleric without healing spells. Due to devastating aggro nerfs to clicky items, warriors will struggle for relevance in Kunark and will only really start to shine in Velious.

Never really been able to wrap my mind around some of early EQ's class design choices. Warriors should have gotten Provoke back when the game released in '99. It was years before SOE decided that maybe the main tank class should get a unique ability that... you know... helps him to actually tank? Lmao!!!

Enchanters job: collect DKP while they google solo challenge videos.

Lol! My closely related question: is charm viable in Kunark raids?

Tank: take damage
Healer: take away the damage

Not sure why a warrior would tank any classic or Kunark content,
Knight is superior in everything desired.

By Kunark, top geared Ogre Warriors have 1-2k+ more hps than any other class. Plus free disciplines that mitigate damage better than any other class.

New low delay kunark weapons let warriors keep agro pretty easily, Lamentation, jade mace, blood point, tons of weapons, some pretty easy to acquire compared to yaks.
Design? The Devs just buffed the classes they played, that was the 'design'. Anybody could have balanced the game, they were interested in balance.
