Default Best/Worst classes for each expansion

Speaking in a general sense. What are your thoughts on best/worst classes up to and including Velious - as far as clearly being boss over all other classes vs. not being so.

Removed link (FoH website) because of the malware issues mentioned. Throwing up the template below.

no way enchanters were the worst in velious. they were soloing dragons in western wastes by charming the giant captain guy from the benevolence quest line. so much so that they later nerfed it so he was not charmable (i think from memory)

Dont listen to this troll. 3 weeks ago he was asking the same types of questions, now all of a sudden he is the resident expert.

My opinion's changed a bunch from back then to p99.

I'm not gonna bother listing cleric since they'd basically encompass the best class for most expansions. Huge difference between raiding and everything else too, so I'm gonna try an encompass everything.

Classic
Best: Enchanter
Worst: Ranger

Kunark:
Best: Enchanter or Shaman
Worst: Druid

Velious
Best: Monk.
Worst: Necromancer.

Luclin:
Best: Wizard.
Worst: Mages (after rod-nerf) or Shadowknights.

PoP:
Best Bard
Worst: Monk (balance was really good in PoP - monks weren't bad, but I can't think of a class worse than them).

GoD:
Best: Warrior
Worst: Shadowknight

OoW - quit for WoW mid-MPG trials so I didn't see Anguish til way later. I want to say best - SK. No idea on worst here.

Anything a druid can do, some other class can do better. If this isn't the case, it's more due to player skill than class design (i.e. an amazing druid vs. a drooler shaman).

I agree a lot of the 'druids aren't the best choice' arguments come from the fact that many, many people have a druid alt and not many really bother to play them beyond basic farming, PLing, and porting.

Harmony is an insane spell, and while it is outdoors only, it has a lot of uses.

Porting is essential for mobilization and group sow/group regen are helpful when time is a factor.

I don't think anyone else gets a quad-root and quad-snare spell, which are very handy both indoors and outdoors.

Also, necro's love Natureskin for the regen component.

Of course when it comes to the end game raid mob scene, druids are lacking. Spot heals are only so helpful and nukes can be hard to land on certain mobs.

However in Kunark druids can farm their own planar armor [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can think of at least one camp that, imo, is best duo'd by a druid and monk. Yes, a monk/cleric can duo it just fine, but druids bring a bit more to the table and make it a much more elegant fight. Dru/war also works fine, but cleric/war would have a hard time splitting the camp, though I think it would be possible.

I guess we are all winners and should feel warm and special inside.

I disagree. I've read through all the pages that break the classes down. I feel you can never get enough perspective. Plus a lot of those pages are personal opinions and from people who have never even played the classes. Not to be rude but if you don't feel like participating you simply don't have to. Personally don't think there is enough discussion on class roles and viability in Kunark and Velious.
