Classes that are currently in demand

bigups43 · #1 05-04-2011, 01:19 AM

The title pretty much sums it up. Im just wondering whats in need right now. I have a 21 mage, 8 bard, and 8 monk, and Im wondering which one to start playing again in order to be desirable to groups.

My guess out of the three, would be bard.

You'll be fine with a bard. Wizards are in real demand.

Monks are in really short supply.

Monks are INCREDIBLY common. Monks who knows how to do their job (pulling) very well are far less common.

With that said, both monks and bards are highly desired. Bards are much less common but quality players for either class are about equally common.

Magician is much less desired in groups, but can still be a decent addition, as well as being a great character to have for soloing when you can't find a group. Geared monks can be amazing soloers as well, and I know bards have some powerful solo capabilities, but I can't really comment on them since I have limited bard experience.

Ill probably level up my bard then. My main back on Innoruuk was a 70 bard, so Ive def got some exp under my belt haha.

monks and mages are both very common. Bards just are not that popular for groups, they usually are a 2nd choice CC or filler dps. However bards are in short supply for raid scene and are important there

Bards are retarded easy on this server:

1) Get to lvl 20
2) Go to OT
3) ???
4) Ding lvl 46

Too bad wizards aren't that great in groups. Wizards are desired and in high demand for raids, to be accurate.

Why aren't wizards desired for groups? Not enough utility to go with the dps?

Cheers

The fact that their sustained DPS is inferior to most other DPS classes, even mages. Welcome to the world where min-maxing meets Everquest.
