Favorite Group Class

[falkun]

Bard

I can do everything, and a good bard is a huge force multiplier to any EQ group. I've personally seen the difference between a good and bad bard in the group, both as a tank (paladin) and the bard. More than any other class, watching a great one is like listening to a well orchestrated symphony while watching a bad one makes me want to rip my ears off to end the cacophony (puns intended).

What really got me into the bard class was one time tanking in Bastion of Thunder on my paladin with a guild group of cleric, mage, bard, wizard, and one other. The mage had the Call of the Archmage spell, the bard was an amazing puller and spot-on with the CC when COTAM broke and the bard just chainpulled our wing; it was like a hot knife through butter all night long.

Warrior,

Few things in this game are more fun than tanking to me. The thrill of calling out assists and the lives of your groupmates in your hands is awesome. Not to mention the whole raiding thing, maybe I'll roll one up down the road again.

Yeah the thrill of standing in place mashing taunt is incredible.

Any tank worth their salt, especially warriors, knows tanking is more than mashing taunt and standing in place. Its about weapon selection positioning coordinating teamwork, etc~ If tanking was that simple we wouldn't have so many bad tanks now would we?

well when 30% of the eq population has Downs Syndrome it's no surprise. Pick a weapon with a stun/aggro proc, click taunt, bitch at your healers to heal. Tank raid content.4

Every post you have made is full of negativity and sarcasm. Go away please.

pwned! I gotta remember this quote.

"knottyb0y-If tanking was that simple we wouldn't have so many bad tanks now would we?"

Also aggro management, knowing what to kill next when you have several mezed mobs, watching for casting on casters/gaters so you can slam/bash, knowing when to blow a discipline.

I would play a cleric if I knew I'd always have a group right away. The lack of transportation options and invis plus the dependence on rare tanks is a turn off to me at the moment, but that would change in a group.
