Default What makes each class unique?

Hi all,

If you were going to describe each classes' selling points in classic EQ (up to Velious), what would they be? Think about it as if you were a salesman and a person knowing nothing of EQ walked in your lobby. I am curious because EQ is so different today, classes are not very unique from each other anymore and most websites go by today's EQ for class descriptions. So why would I play a ________ ? I will go first though my memory is fuzzy on specifics and I may be wrong.

Rogue - Highest Melee DPS (Possible Highest of All?), Corpse Retrieval


Warrior - Best Class at Damage Reduction, Most Desired Raid Tank


Paladin - Tank (I do not much on this one, not very familiar with the class)


Shadowknight - Best Agro Generating Tank


Wizard - Highest Magic DPS, Ports, Evacuation


Magician - Solo Capability, DPS, Best Damage Sheild


Ranger - Puller, Medium DPS


Bard - Jack of All Trades, Mez, Puller, Heals, Solo Kiting


Monk - Best Puller, DPS, Medium Tank



Shaman - Best Slow, Haste, Great Buffs, Heals


Druid - Great Kiting Soloer, Healer, Damage Sheild


Cleric - Best Healer, Best Rez


Enchanter - Best Crowd Control, Best Haste Buff, Great Mana Regen Buff


Necromancer - Great Soloer, DPS through Dots, Summoning of Corpses
