What got me through playing a cleric was using vanilla druid gear on an erudite female.

That little pink bikini
The see through ankle length skirt
Those two straps covering up the nipples just barely leaving the muscle toned abs free to breathe
the link genie booties
oh and that gazebo on the head(leather).
fuckyeah

I expected to see many people say rogue...
Honestly Rogue is straight-forward and pretty simple but that is the fun of it. You're best dps, never have to pull, low responsibility as long as you keep stabbing, and unique utility in lockpicking and corpse dragging. I think it's the most fun to play.

Most boring for me is probably magician.

"Where was my heal, man?? You had mana, right?"

"Oh sorry...er..I was busy..."

mage

at least wiz can port, and epic is doable

It's easily Wizard for PvE play. The so-called "masters of magical damage" do subpar DPS and are incapable of actually burning down a blue-con mob quickly on their own at the higher levels. On top of that, if you want to improve your efficiency, then you have to click Mana Robe inbetween each meditate tick and then reapply the Epic shield every 13/14 clicks, just to be able to achieve this subpar DPS. It's very annoying, for underwhelming payoff. The class also lacks utility outside of that and is incapable of soloing relevant high-end content (anything that summons = you lose). Yes, ports are a needed game function, but it's not exciting and that role can just be played by alt characters for the most part.

I'd say mage.

Similar to rogue except don't get the fun of seeing high backstabs.

I just deleted my Wizard after reading this.

People always say all you do is buff as an enc, but that hasn’t been my experience. I often bind sight targets/pullers, goalie, charm pretty much everywhere but VP and ToV. And if you want to do more, you can - get a shield of the immaculate to do disease cures, get involved with the pull team (DA earring FTW).

I honestly find chaining on a cleric to be way more boring and there’s way less opportunity to “make plays.” Encs have that opportunity, a lot of other classes don’t.

This is all matter of opinions but I'll give my 2 copper...

Cleric

Everyone has different things they can do in different situations. Of those cleric is the most like limited.

Yes a cleric can CC rather well with roots and stun command. But so can all of the other priests and casters with root (sorry mage). And in a group situation once a camp is broken the cleric doing or even helping with CC is usually very minimal.

The better gear your melee and tank has the less work a cleric does. The gear levels on p99 are so much higher than what the game is balanced for at almost every level bracket that even at 58 I find my cleric just casting celestial or remedy to top someone off just to prevent me from reaching 100m (wasting Mana if not medding)

Solo wise cleric is just awful pretty much a waste of time. Basically in the high 50s it means spending an entire Mana bar to kill 1 con blue or light blue.

Gear upgrades. Aside from some clickies and resists mostly just means a bigger Mana pool. Barely relevant in group content and only relevant in a few raid bosses or if your doing a raid boss with a few less clerics in the chain. Overall not much to look forward too.

Group content. People want clerics for alot of normal camps and a few plat camps, sometimes to pair with enchanters. However on the high end alot of times a good torpor shaman can completely replace the need for a cleric.

Raid content. Hit CH macro sit and eat mod rods. A requirement for raids but that's about it

High end.. gearing up a cleric extends your length in a CH chain, doesn't do much for your group or solo play. Other classes can raid just fine and get much bigger benefits from raid gear in terms of their raid role, group role and solo play

TBH mage soloing in sol/guk was a fun challenge compared to an enc or nec.

You don't have the enc/nec swiss army knives, it's all about the pet, and chaining pets to break camps was certainly not boring to me. Some truly epic battles were fought for sure.
