Default How many level 60 classes to fully understand the game?

Hi. I was wondering if I ever bring my Iksar Necromancer to level 60 and maybe even do some successful raids, will I be able to get all the other 4 classes of Iksar to level 60 with little problems because pushing the Necro to level 60 taught me the entire game fundamentals?

Or do you think a real professional player needs at least 2 different or more classes at level 60?

I mean if I got a Necromancer to level 60 would I be able to get a Warrior or a Shadow Knight to level 60 with the same effort just taking longer because melee classes are harder to play?

Even war and SK view meleeing through very different lenses.

Definitely you’d want experience as a melee dps, a tank and a healer in groups.

if you play an enchanter you'll learn all game mechanics save for a few nuance high end tank things

YOU are the first person I heard "the lizard peepul walk among us" from. Do you know anything about this?

In my opinion playing a cleric gives the most insight. Maybe a warrior after thaf

Playing dps classes gives the least insight. Playing in groups gives more than soloing

Playing as a twink or with twinks skews interpretation. Doing content that is too weak skews aswell

Your experience getting to 60 on a necro will be valuable on any class you decide to play. Particularly SK you'll have some more familiarity with. However I wouldn't say it's necessarily hard to get to 60 on any class, it's more about having the time to grind, though leveling efficiently can be a skill. But I think particularly with necro you'll learn more at 60 than the leveling journey if you decide to tackle some of the higher level camps in HS, seb, chardok, etc.

Once you level a necro to 60 you've attained virtually all the knowledge needed to level any class to 60. Each class has a little bit of specialization but you probably already have a pretty good feel for how each class is specialized just from interacting with the other classes. Every class will have a small learning curve of how to play the class effeciently.

Playing multiple classes doesn't really advance your understanding of the game much when it comes to leveling content. It really only matters if you are one of the handful of bleeding edge raid strategists that are pushing the limits of current or new metas, or to a lesser extent a raid leader (many are more like a raid manager). In that world there is nearly an eternal depth of things to learn and quirks of different game mechanics and fringe abilities that can help cobble together some impressive strategies. Its basically the difference between current raid metas and ones we saw during classic live for this era.

You can hit lvl 60 on any class and learn very little. Don’t fall for the trap that you’ll learn a lot by hitting 60.
