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.

Original:
best - monk?
worst - paladin/rogue

best - mage/necro
worst - wizard

Kunark:
best - rogue/monk
worst - ranger/paladin

best - shaman/enchanter
worst - wizard

Velious:
best - monk/rogue
worst - paladin/shadowknight

best - wizard/shaman
worst - enchanters/necro

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.

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)

this thread has been done already, multiple pages, with so much detail it feels like a bad daja vu

/do you even search?

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.

Might be cliche, but ranger is the only class I never cared to have through out all 3. Just didn't offer anything other than a snare in seblilis. Every other class had something important to contribute. Enchanters? Always been #1 along with cleric IMO. If you don't have an enchanter, you have to have a cleric. If you don't have a cleric, you have to have an enchanter. Always exceptions of course, but these are basic rules I went by in kunark and velious. It was simply amazing how easy sebilis was with a competent chanter.

Classic
Best: Mage

Truth


Lies

In Luclin pvp necros were absolute stone cold killers, capable of taking out full groups of even con players. Wizards were damn scary too.
