Which class when played with skill affects your group the most?

[Nixtar]

It is quite interesting how often the level of importance we attribute to these classes are closely linked to what we have been playing or are playing. Almost like a "Buyer's remorse" type of deal where we stubbornly try to justify the time spent with X character by claiming its contribution to the group made all the difference!

I did it myself, when talking about the monk, so I'm not claiming to be above it. An interesting observation, is all. Perhaps it is a mechanism we use to somehow make the hours we pour into the game not seem like complete waste of time?

I mean, I have never been in a group and thought "Oh man, I wish we had a bard over that monk or enchanter cause then this group would really take off!" Similarly, when a bard has been present and the other classes were lacking. Then again, the forum echo chamber do need their little favourite to parrot the next time someone asks "what is best?"
