What he said.

You mean for classes where you fit into two categories? They could either pick a home forum amongst themselves, or just do either one - I assume most monks will check both puller and dps forums, I know I would when I wanted to talk monk stuff. Also, sometimes there's an easy answer. SKs go to the tank thread, not the puller thread, since that's their primary role.

An example of a tougher one, I think bards go to the CC thread for bard-specific, not role-specific, talk, since they share more w/ enchanters than any other one class as far as role (mana/buffs/CC/slowing/hasting) - but I think some bards may feel more puller or melee dps. They can decide.


Class-specific ones aren't that much worse than role-specific, in my mind. I'm just thinking they'd be more stagnant, would add a lot of forums, and people would miss a lot of good advice from classes with overlapping roles.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I'd probably simplify it to Tank/Dps/Priest/Caster/Ranger groups personally.

He he ?

I was jokeing about the Ranger part =p

Have the devs given any more thought to class-specific subforums? This would be an excellent way to gather useful information about classes, like relevant quests, level-recommended gear, and recommendable hunting spots as well as class strategies and philosophy of game mechanics. As it is, we have people cluttering up the server general forum with posts about how to play a shaman, or where to solo a monk, or what gear a shadow knight should get, and these threads have been posted en facsimile AT LEAST 50 times each in the history of the forum. This would also make it way easier for people who actually have experience with the class in question to comment on the requested info.

I have lots of useful things to say about chanters, but I dun wanna retype the information a jillion times, answering the same questions over and over!

Class specific. They play WAY too different to bulk.

Oh and sk/pal's are extremely hybrid. The bard is the closest thing to needing a new archetype.

yea, i see how this would help out alot not only for beginners, but anyone wanting to play a new class they have no clue about, or ect

there are too many subforums already. Really a terrible idea to add class boards at all.

That's...a huge mess. Rangers, Druids, Enchanters, Clerics and Necromancers are all capable of pulling when done right, hell even Paladins in the right situation.
