Looking for a class wanted by groups.

Play a necro! I get group invites all the time on Jurassic /sarcasm

[SyanideGas]

Warrior/Ench/Cleric imo

Interesting variation on this thread - what class is horrible for getting groups?

Obviously rangers are high on the list, but what else?

I don't like bards in groups. I know they can be great, but the majority of my experience with them have been persistent AFKs and not knowing how to group because they spent 50 levels swarm kiting.

What what ever the hell u want dude.

Hobiewan, tho's are shitty bards. Jus wait til u group with a non lazy bard.

Horrible: Wizard. A dps class that over time does less dps than the tank. Wizards really need an update. I would honestly prefer rangers to wizards.

Depends.

If you are an SK or Paladin, you don't need good gear to hold aggro. So you'll be able to be a good tank, but the experience will be unbearably slow due to the hybrid penalty. Also, many people won't want to group with you because of shared penalty, especially at the high end.

If you go warrior, experience will be a lot better for you, but you won't be able to tank for shit until you get really good gear. Warrior rely on procs and DPS and even then they still have problems. A warrior that's broke is going to suck for all involved.

I suggest you make a Cleric.

Shared penalty???? Doesn't exist sir. IE 2 SK's grouping togetehr won't get LESS experience.... its all based on a character's total xp. So a warrior that's higher level than you is taking xp just like a hybrid would.

If you think you hate lazy bards..... Imagine knowing how to play a bard in a group (and wanting to group) and:

1) The bard the group has is AFK with the heal song going.....
2) People want to get multiple bards in group because "well you can play one song and he can play another...."

Basically I just got irritated a bit on the popularity aspect and people having no clue what bards actually do in a group. Anyone who actually thinks bards are bad for groups is playing with a bad bard.....

A good bard is like having 1.5 people instead of one... maybe even 2 for 1.

Wizards aren't a DPS class, they are a burst class.

[feanan]

Yeah, they burst on one mob, and go afk the next 5.

pass!

Everyone always says tank/cleric because every group need a tank and a cleric.

I would say rogue because every group needs A tank and A cleric.. and then a cc (ench/bard) and 3 dps. That means you can fill a need for half the group while cleric is a 1/6 chance.

That said, a good option is enchanter or shaman because they are both sought after for groups and they can also both solo later on. So if you cannot find a group you can still do something.

As a cleric, I lfg and more or less sit with a thumb up my ass because there is NOTHING i can do by myself. If you are an ench in seb you can go solo half the zone while lfg for a crypt/king group if you wanted to... hell if you are in crypt and your group falls apart you can just take over the camp by yourself.
