most underpowered class in game?

[DeathsSilkyMist]

When I am considering "most underpowered overall", I have to look at it in more general terms, such as what can the class do given it's options. There is no way to objectively come to a conclusion on a single class if you start including specific details such as preferred leveling paths, unless you can compile a vast amount of data, which nobody is going to do.

For example, if you are someone who loves killing in Droga to level/gain money, Mage is no longer going to be the most underpowered, because they do well in that zone. But I can't assume people are going for this leveling/farming path.

You need to consider that Mages have many different paths they can take, and not everyone chooses the most optimal. Because of this, having more limited options in terms of what camps they can do due to lack of CC affects their score negatively in my estimation.

Even if you try and think in terms of "assuming a class plays optimally, who is most underpowered", it is difficult to decide, because I am not sure how you would split solo/group preferences. Rogues and Mages basically fill a DPS slot in a group, so if the player is only grouping, you are basically comparing DPS between the two classes. But it is probably difficult to determine at which points in the game soloing is more optimal than groups, and vice versa. You would need a lot of data.
