As a person who played in guilds that dominated this server from Kunark to Velious I can tell you successful guilds made significant use of hybrids.

Yea Rampage had some great Shadowknights that we used frequently, it's a shame we didn't have any good paladins.

Well you can't win em all. We also had a rogue who couldn't do good deeps with a pre-nerf Massvie Heartwood Thorn.

Don't forget when Sky opens and those darned bees are beaten (I don't want to underestimate the neck beards, but is that even possible in rusty planar gear at 50?!) you'll be eating the DT of the sisters!

The jokes on you, because I will have already been deleveled down to 45 from eating the DTs from Keeper of Souls and Spiroc Lord to make it that far.

Just met a Paladin who was role playing a ‘holy archer’. He’d refuse to tank, and only do range DPS.

The mind boggles!

If you want to play a hybrid class play Blue,
Where they've been buffed at the end of velious.

Hybrid's dps is bad
Hybrid's exp penalty is bad
Hybrids are not required for any content

If you show up at a raid as a hybrid you're telling everyone else they're time is worth less than your time. Roll a cleric or a rogue if you want to contribute to a raid.

The Hybrid EXP Penalty while hottly debated is making group's members level slower. Warriors with the right weapons and dex can hold agro. Any justification for hybrids being good in groups is compensation for how they ultimately drag the group down.

The hybrids class from classic till the end of velious is not required for any content.

So be mad or sad because you rolled a bad class that has a detrimental effect on the community. Hybrids are bad when the raid wiped because 10 hybrids showed up instead of clerics/rogues. Hybrids are bad when you made your group take hours longer grinding instead of leveling up.

TL/DR - Hybrids are bad on green if you want to play a hybrid go play it on blue.

Show us on the doll, where did the hybrid touch you?

And maybe buy some ointment for that butthurt.

Hybrids hold aggro... I love grouping with Pal/SK tanks rather than most warrior tanks.

Playing a rogue 1-50, this is completely true for me. Warriors can't hold aggro without twink procs/deeps, or careful management on my part. Paladin or SK can hold aggro all day and emergency CC too. Rather a paladin or sk than warrior in non-endgame-raid setting any day.

having fun

So...bashing others' game because it's not numerically optimal...is how *you* have fun I guess?? Maybe I assumed incorrectly that your tone was judgemental. From the stats, yes, hybrids are bad. I do hope noone is here after twenty years still trying to be The Best, though.

This guy knows how to play EQ.

whats that

In a nut shell, stupid people thinking they’re smart or overestimating their ability. In terms of the OP’s post, play what you want people. If it’s fun to you, play it. You don’t need anyone’s permission.
