EQ Class Tier List

[drelk001]

So, I have been watching a bunch of Competitive Smash Melee. Looking at the tier list, I kinda wanna see what people Think are high tier Classes and where they would be put up on a Tier list and why?

The poll is to vote for who you think is at the top.

The current Tier list based on the fact that "All Classes Suck Equally" and also based of difficulty to play, Solo-ability, dependencies on gear and all around usefulness in late game and through leveling


B: Magician
C: Enchanter, Wizard, Necromancer
D: ShadowKnight, Cleric, Ranger
E: Shaman, Bard, Warrior
F: Druid, Monk, Rogue, Paladin

So enchanters and shamans win by a landslide....

Wish I could edit the first post on the thread :/

B: Magician, Enchanter
C: Wizard, Necromancer
D: ShadowKnight, Cleric, Ranger
E: Shaman, Bard, Warrior
F: Druid, Monk, Rogue, Paladin

I agree with Loraen's take for the most part: "So in my opinion we have the overpowered classes (Enchanter, Bard, Shaman, Monk), the solid classes (Cleric, Magician, Necromancer, Shadowknight), the raid-specialized classes (Warrior, Rogue, Wizard), and the weak classes (Ranger, Druid, Paladin). "

Cleric, Shaman, Warrior, Rogue, Monk, Enchanter, Bard

Rest is filler.

Sounds classic.

EQ is designed after the United States Government with a system of Checks and Balances.

EXECUTIVE (raid classes) - warrior, rogue, cleric

LEGISLATIVE (groupers) - SK, paladong, etc

JUDICIAL (special soloers) - ENC, SHM, NEC etc

hope this clears things up

[Naethyn]

Warrior gets the most out of items here.

[Caiu]

I have no idea what you are talking about in OP but voted Monk.

[Pyrocat]

This is dumb, EQ was designed around different classes working together, hence the thousands of "what's the best duo?" "what's the best trio?" threads. Make a "what's the best solo class?" or "what's the most wanted class in groups?" or "what's the most useful raiding class?" or even "what's your favorite class?" thread, but this game isn't defined by 1v1 PVP like smash, so tier rankings aren't really a viable rating.

still voted shaman tho.

[skarlorn]

Depends if everyone has resist gear on. There's variables here.

what's the top tier Red?

This is just for fun...

I didnt really take PVP in to account, obviously Chanter wins in PVP, Rogues kinda do too but I wont really concider PVP a make or break in the tier list.

Updated...

B: Enchanter, Shaman
C: Wizard, Magician, Necromancer
D: ShadowKnight, Bard, Cleric
E: Warrior, Ranger, Monk
F: Druid, Rogue, Paladin

[drelk001]

Updated...
Bard has been moved up because of Their ability to swarm pull
Cleric and Warrior has been moved up because of there EXTREME need in Raids, Cleric stays higher because they can solo and are really good in undead areas.

Also, I have noticed that not all classes suck equally, So I went from S and Down, I thought about making Enchanter and Shaman SS and Bard S then Wizard and Mage A but decided against it because They arnt so good they need to be places on an SS teir.




S:Enchanter, Shaman
A:Bard
B: Wizard, Magician
C: Necromancer, Cleric
D: ShadowKnight,Warrior, Ranger,Druid
E: Monk, Rogue, Paladin

:eek:

[drelk001]

Yeah...

This tier list is about who can do ALL of these together. Who is the best at Soloing, Grouping and Raiding all at the same time.

[Baler]

OH boy a thread that will inspire another generation of shaman and enchanters.
They're like the dutch of the new world.

edit: I'm surprised druid is coming in so low.. Seeing as how druids are always trying to convince other people how great their class is.

[drelk001]

It's because they are vertually useless in raids, can Solo but not as good as necros or bards.

[Naethyn]

For Raiding:

Warrior > Rogue > Cleric > Shaman > Monk > Paladin* > Enchanter > Bard > Ranger* > Magician* > Necromancer > Druid > Shadowknight

*Only need one.

[drelk001]

S:Enchanter, Shaman
A:Bard
B: Wizard, Magician
C: Necromancer, Warrior, Cleric
D: ShadowKnight, Ranger,Druid
E: Monk, Rogue, Paladin


Moved Warrior up. Because even though they arnt too good in PVP, your raid wouldnt survive without them, and in most cases, nor would your group.

[Lhancelot]

For Raiding:

Warrior > Rogue > Cleric > Shaman > Monk > Paladin* > Enchanter > Bard > Ranger* > Magician* > Necromancer > Druid > Shadowknight

*Only need one.

Dang. Wizards so bad they don't even get a spot on the list. :(
