What is the best class?

[iruinedyourday]

also lets not forget that Triangle (a shaman) was the best of the best when it comes to downing mobs solo in Kunark [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But also dont forget by using puppet strings, basically makes a shaman an OP enchanter hehe

[TripleLegit]

Bard. Because they look the best in armor. Level the fastest. Run the fastest. Can do anything. And carpal tunnel rocks

[astuce999]

Firepot bound Shaman with all spells, puppet strings, staff of forbidden rites, FD sky ring, guise, and all the other toys is best.

Chanter and cleric are close and tied for second place.

Necro comes in third. FD is beautiful, but cannot surpass high percentage slow or unlimited c-heals.

Monk is definitely first in melee, and ahead of all the hybrids as well.

This ranking assumes unlimited funds to acquire all the toys.

Btw my favorite is bard, such a fun unique class, I never tire of it.

There isn't a "best" class.

Most powerful? If you factor in their entire toolkit and what they can do, my list would be (in descending order)

Shaman/ench
Bard/necro
Monk
Cleric (bump this up for raids)
Mage/Rogue (bump this up for raids)
Paladin
Ranger/sk
Druid
Warrior (bump this up for raids)
Wizard

Class most undervalued by the community? Mage. Pet alone will sustain enough dps to effectively be a moderately geared melee. Add in nukes on top and they're just good all around additions to he group.

2nd most undervalued for grouping? Necro. Good pet dps. Better charm dps. Heals, twitches, dots ... Win


Worst class for 99.9% of eq? Wizard. Sustained dps is terrible ... Like half the dps of a bard meleeing bad. Only saving grace(s) raid burn, ports, and very friendly solo leveling for those that want to afk for long periods of time (quad).

Since eq is a game and games are about having fun, the "best" class is the class you have the most fun playing.

Anyone who says Paladin is a bad class has never played a geared Paladin. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Especially in Velious.

[bomaroast]

There is no best. Only different reality tunnels you can travel down. In the end all that matters is that you had a good time.

[Expediency]

If you are EQ rich shaman is the best class at 60.

There is no "best" otherwise, depends on the situation.

Human because we look awesome.

[Aades]

8th grade history with the young Mrs. Christian was the best class.
