What is each classes role / responsibilities in a raid?

To be clear they aren’t a dead end class from the perspective of no one wanting them on the raid. There’s no raid size cap so hey another guy whacking the mob with a sword doesn’t hurt. But if you want to be playing a major role than yeah you won’t be on a pally or SK from Kunark on.

Similar issues exist with other classes. Like Druid for example. You’re just a buff bot and technically a backup healer but you can’t really do much as a healer compared to a Cleric. Mage you just summon mod rods because your nukes aren’t gonna stick. Bards you play songs. Etc. Raiding is a pretty boring job for a lot of classes TBH.

They are a dead class in that their value is nearly worthless. All they end up doing in Kunark and esp Velious is taking gear that should be going to the classes actually contributing real value in raids.

Do what you're told, listen on comms, do what you're told, stay in camp, do what you're told, stand on incoming, do what you're told, don't spam the dkp bid channel, do what you're told, send tells for buffs, do what you're told, wait for assist, do what you're told...

Rogues aren't real dps yet. That's casters, esp mages.

Better not tell my raid leader.....according to them I'm a vending machine.

Actually I don’t think that will fully be the case on Green. I think you’re forgetting all the clicky nerfs

Also, make sure you make your mains on different accounts, or else you're gonna be stuck playing your Cleric / Ench / Bard, or whatever the most needed class at the time is.

I've heard this a few times but I don't understand the point yet. What's the point of multiple accounts if multiboxing is not allowed?

You play the character you want to on one of your accounts and a guildy logs into your other one to play the other character during the raid
