Unpopular class - help me decide what to play

[eqravenprince]

Working on getting my Ogre SK to level 9. Already thinking about what to play as an alt to my SK, want to play something that isn't super popular.

Ogre SK is already the unpopular one

you should make a popular class alt imo

[Tecmos Deception]

Ranger, wizard, paladin are the least popular 3 classes.

Oh... I figured Ogre SK is about as good of a group tank as you can possibly get while still being able to solo reasonably. Maybe I was wrong.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Any thoughts on race?

Yes Ogre SK is very great classic tank

I guess I more meant unpopular in groups bc of the huge XP penalty.

Did you mean popular as in widely rolled or popular for groups to pick up?

I cringe when any class brings an xp debuff into the party. I grouped with 2 SKs and a bard one night and my xp bar did not move. It was awful. Go solo with your xp debuff, stop making your poor decision to level a hybrid before velious everyone else's problem.

So, my advice, if you want to play an unpopular character, is to play the biggest xp penalty character there is - bonus points if they do no damage like a paladin vs non-undead.

Unpopular for a variety of reasons, not just unpopular for a group.

For the sake of being rare?

Probably half elf ranger, human wizard, and erudite paladin.

Wizards are the most viable unpopular class, since they can solo most effectively, and they are needed in the end game.

SKs and Rangers can sort of solo, SKs better than Rangers, but you aren't really *needed* in the end game the same way wizards are.
