Which class gets the most respect for being good at their class?

Not much love for the Wizards. =p

Well, when I had my ranger on live, my friend played the wizard class. Great damage, but high aggro so I had to keep an eye on him even when we got in groups... which is one of the things rangers are good at with protecting casters. But when he had to log, the party didn't disband. But when the cleric had to go, and we could not find a replacement, game over. When I maxed my ranger, that fact got me building a cleric, which wound up getting me constant tells for invites most any zone I entered, even begging. Of course then my friend made a wood elf warrior... lol mana burn keeping him up.

Hmmm... maybe later on in the game the other classes became more sufficient in groups, but from the beginning and for some time, no cleric meant no group camp in many cases, not in tough spots anyhoot. Of course being a bad cleric didn't help.

As a Bard every time I CC reasoably well people will blow their wad over how amazing Bards are. Personally I think that's just odd, mezzing shit isn't hard if you're not needed for anything else, just tab through enemies until you get all of them (excluding the one the rest of the group is targeting). Not difficult at all. But I appreciate the respect either way.

I also find it ironic since on the forums people bitch about how shitty Bards are when I see them get complimented for the littlest things. It's just weird.

I'm always impressed by rogues who do not use hide and tank for the majority of the fight.

I guess, my only real job as a tank is to hit "taunt" so the mob turns to me, and in the processs turns his back to the rogue, therefore allowing the rogue to backstab to regain aggro!

Wait...hehe.

i havent played a rogue since Live (stopped in 2004) but iirc my backstab hotkey was an evade macro. id actually be surprised to catch a rogue not evading during a fight.

Be prepared to be surprised, lol.

I do notice a well-played bard or enchanter, though. Usually mention it in group when I see someone 4-twisting.

My cleric still needs to learn how to stop wanting to heal the tank while the pull is incoming, though. Meh.

+1 for good pallys. I love playing my pally alt. tab targeting and rooting that add as its coming in the camp while still MTing my mob. Group is like damn.... and stuns + bash you can own a caster mob.

also, you can pacify pull just fine, just needs to be dark blue or less. dont try on yellow or reds you gonna get a crit resist and get the whole room.

I love how there is now 17 level 1-10 Bards online, yesterday at the same time there was 3 =P lmao

Bard
Monk
Enchanter
Shaman

In about that order. Those classes are a lot easier to suck at than others. Playing a cleric is fucking easy breezy, I don't know why they need praise.

I disagree, I think monk is the easiest to suck at simply because FD pulling is an art. Especially when dealing with caster mobs.

I think enchanters do a lot more mezzing than bards and they're squishier so they require a little more care.

I tend to get props sometimes as a Necromancer when I fill the role of CC with Screaming Terror. So many people don't realize that necros get mez. Hell, I played with a necro last week in CT that was 34 and had never even bothered purchasing the spell yet. Bad necro was bad. I aint namin any names [You must be logged in to view images.

I see some comments about Shaman and I'm glad people do realize that. As i'm sure other shaman could say, especially in a raid situation 20 spell gems wouldnt be enough....


We are constantly bombed with tells for all sorts of shit, stat buffs, haste, regen, resists, etc and still are expected not to miss a beat on debuffs or heals to our group as well as maintaining our own cani cycle. You dont see us crying to the friendly neighborhood dead guy for a twitch EVER! On top of all that if you're really on your shit you can do those tasks plus proc your hammer and bash shit at the same time...even offtank some planar trash when needed.
