Other than that, there is no "best class". You could surmise a best class against certain camps/dungeons/encounters perhaps. But an all in all best class, no.

If I had to pick a 'best class ' itd be shaman or enchanter. Slow is most op spell in game imho and they both get a pet and massive buffs.

[Nibblewitz]

Wizard is the best obv.

Level 5 EC tunnel Mule Best Class/Race combo in game ever. /thread

These are my votes too. They can both do things solo that no other class can do. A slower is basically required for high end one group content. And they both have fantastic toolkits. There's a reason you see so many of them on the server.

I will object to the "external source of plat" assertion for melee/tanks - my main is an shadowknight and he has also been my primary source of income. He's equipped all right, too, well enough to tank what needs to be tanked. You can fear kite stuff pretty well if you feel you need to farm.

I love my shadowknight personally, the tank shortage lets me get groups when I want to, and I can solo as well. Good tank, good puller, good toolkit. But in terms of raw power they're no shaman or enchanter.

The best class? There are a few default "lol no" answers:

Ranger
Magician
Druid
Necromancer

Then there's the best for what you want to do at any particular moment:

Raid tank: Warrior
Group tank: SK/Paladin
Healer: Cleric
Sustained DPS: Rogue/Monk
Burn DPS: Wizard
Puller: Monk/Bard
Support: Enchanter/Shaman

But, indeed, it goes a little deeper than that. Most lucrative tradeskiller? Shaman/Enchanter

Best PLer? Bard/Druid or Enchanter (Chardok style)

Best old world solo artist? Enchanter

Best Velious solo artist? Shaman (Iksar > Ogre)

Character that's going to cost you the most PP buying spells? Shaman.

You want to make a class that's in demand? Cleric

Want to play a class no one else wants to play? Pick any tank.

In the end, an Iksar Shaman is probably the best possible choice for what to play, but it's going to be a huge platsink. And if you actually do get Torpor and your DoTs, that's PP you will never be able to recover. But it might be worth it when you're soloing Lodizal and WW dragons.

There's only room for so many Shamans or Enchanters in a raid, though. Only room for so many tanks. Cleric comes back up for best raiding class. Pick Rogue/Monk/Wizard for best raid DPS.

It seems that the best class is really situational and subjective.

Welp there you have it. Close the thread.

But... what about this concept... is shaman the best over enchanter? I man at first glance, yes... BUT the investment you must make INTO a shaman means that, once you start soloing for profit, you are already 100-200k in the hole.. where as with the enchanter you are likely like 5-10k... so it takes A LOT of effort to get back ahead of the enchanter.

Im just saying there is some to the equation that was left out in this brilliantly accurate post.

BIS, best class? Probably goes to shaman though.
