Yeah I totally get it, when I play my mage I just know I'll never get the epic, and I'm fine with that. I was fortunate to find out how bad it was before I put in time like you did.

1) mage / warrior
2) cleric / rogue

The bard epic acting as every insturment is what makes it godlike. You don't need to swap and can fight while doing all actions, when previously your whole life you had to switch from Defensive spells + melee or offensive with instrument vs defensive with instrument. With the epic, you can just roll with whatever, and can always be adding your melee DPS where it wouldn't be allowed before.

Being able to just rez everyone without having to med is huge for me. Otherwise rezzing a full group means 20+ minutes of medding. When I'm running around and hitting up places like Unrest and Mistmoore and other zones that frequently have a minefield of clickable corpses - those are the times I appreciate my epic the most. Thank you once again to all those that made it possible for me to have mine on Blue!

Coolest looking yet most useless is SK epic. I mean, it is fine and all, but not really worth the pain in the ass to acquire.

Bard, cleric, mage are best.

Cleric epic is the weakest grouping epic, providing nearly 0 utility to most groups and 0 unique abilities.

Cleric epic is the strongest raid epic, with the ability to camp a rez stick and log back when wipe is over and get the raid moving again.

In my opinion what's class defining for a mage is being able to choose the best pet for a given situation out of 4 very cool choices. Each with their pros and cons.
The epic takes this feature from the mage and you'll be using the epic pet exclusively.
That being said, the quest is too damn hard. Such bottle necks shouldn't exist in quests. Also they should have given the mage epic another clicky. Not sure what tho.

Here’s a non-classic question.

Which class epic carries into the latest expansion without getting replaced by something else prior to epic 2.0’s.

I’m guessing bard and cleric?

Druid. No other leaf blower in game.
