With regards to end game raiding - whatever class you play because the end game is short on it at the time, don't bank on that being the case when you finally do ding 50 - you might even be competing against an army of heavily twinked re-rolls at that point.

Truth.

As far as end game goes, it doesn't need anymore people. All raid targets get stomped within 10 minutes of spawning (sans CT, damn trash). Leveling to 50, the game is damn short of SKs, but most people want to save their melees for when they have the money to enjoy them properly on top of the fact that SKs are not entirely needed on the 50 raiding scene.

Also I feel the need to warn you that outside a rare efreeti or kedge named group, groups do not exist at lvl 50. I would recommend something that you can earn some coin with, which are namely mages/necros/enchanters. Enchanter is slightly more gear dependent than the mage or necro, but you can build a respectable 200+ cha set cheaply.

This is the main reason I stopped playing. In all honesty I probably wont start playing again until Velious, when there is a lot more end game stuff to kill.

I think the rarest classes on the server are

Ranger
Rogue
Bard
Warrior
Paladin ?

Sk's are common until you get to 50, then it seems like everyone quits playing them, same thing with shamans.

You could probably roll anything besides a mage / enchanter / druid and be uncommon, since that's most of the server.

I rolled my bard when my guild had but 1 active bard that would be online roughly 1 out of every 3 raids we did. Needless to see he was fully geared and even had bard boss loot VERY quickly.

Currently my bard is level 35 and we already have at least 3 full time bards regularly showing up to raids and at least 3-4 other bard alts leveling up at various rates. (Granted I have been leveling my bard at a very leisurely pace but you get the idea).

I will continue to get my bard to 46 though because I'm guessing that in about a month those bards will be playing something else.

I have seen this server go through 2 waves of tanks being impossible to find then 2 to a group. Currently tanks are rare again in the 34-46 range and find my bard being the main tank in every group I'm in.

Saw the same thing with clerics. They were common, then hard to find. Last night I had 2 clerics in my group... they were taking turns nuking.

I think besides rangers, every class has been experiencing this ebb and flow and will continue to do so.

I want to play the coolest most overpowered class that no one else has and wants to group with!!

This is true. I'm 39 and most people know I am damn good at what i do. I log on for two seconds and I am offered a group in Lguk and SolB without fail. To be honest it is awesome to be a tank that is not only needed, but preferred and respected. Was never like this on live for me and I was probably as good then. Not to brag 8P

This sort of kills my motivation to play here.

all the named mobs are camped by enchanters/necros.

but it's still fun to group up and do the occasional 5mans [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why? At 50 "pick up" groups are probably non-existent, but at 50 you should be in a guild, you want to go do something you get a bunch of guildies together and go do it.
