Most Chill Class Period?

[Jimjam]

The burden of expectation is an interesting one.

Like, I've been in groups pulling/tanking with a couple of twinked rogues, a class that gets a bonus to AC from agi and better defence caps than rangers - a class that takes hits better than a ranger.

When I needed to take a 5 min afk I asked them to keep pulling/killing to keep on top of spawns, something easily within the group's capabilities.

Of course, when I got back (within the time notified) everyone was sitting in camp doing nothing and complained that they got no xp in my absence.

Even though the rogues were perfectly capable of fighting a couple of mobs with the support of the rest of the group, such a behaviour would be outside the normal paradigm so they were able to get away with doing nothing - and instead placing the blame one me.

This is why in the other thread about simplest class to play I suggested wizard. Although it can be surprisingly proficient, most people expect them to be nothing more than a nuke capacitor: charging up to full (while afk for 15 mins) then dumping mana in one foul swoop.
