I think the thought of having to tank but also not getting groups because of the shared XP penalty is definitely going to do some damage.

I don't think it's enough to cause people to actually play Warriors, however.

Playing a warrior is easy.

Being effective at your role in the group ... that is a different story.

Tanks in general are rough because getting gear in vanilla isn't an easy feat without an organized group.

Warrior's role is to stand on the toes of a rooted mob!

XP penalty in classic is much higher for hybrids, and crucially, is shared amongst the group. A group with an SK for a tank will level slower than one with a warrior.

A troll SK splits his 46% xp penalty out amongst the members so it's like everyone in the group now has a 7.6% xp penalty (full group). In a duo you give your partner a 23% xp penalty for the pleasure of grouping with you.

Hrm sure but presumably if you duo with an SK you have less downtime than without?

I'm sure the maths isn't that easy but 20% xp penalty is worth it in some situations assuming your killing faster than the person could solo?

1 mob per minute vs 3 mobs per min?

Am i over simplifying?

I'm pending between ench, mage or monk at the moment. I would love to play a more group oriented gameplay this time since all will be fresh. But I find it difficult with small kinds in the house.

Played a human necro on blue so that wont happen on green(even tho i love the class). How would a self depending solo monk do on classic?

I'm not sure about a human monk, but my iksar could solo blue NAKED while CRing during her twenties in guk.

Obviously she had iksar ac bonus and regen, but a green human might have a full set of raw silk, mesh or cured silk and slightly faster fists to compensate vs the naked iksar.

Throw in battle bandage and you'll be laughing!
