Unpopular class - help me decide what to play

[Wrekt]

I cringe when any class brings an xp debuff into the party. I grouped with 2 SKs and a bard one night and my xp bar did not move. It was awful. Go solo with your xp debuff, stop making your poor decision to level a hybrid before velious everyone else's problem.

So, my advice, if you want to play an unpopular character, is to play the biggest xp penalty character there is - bonus points if they do no damage like a paladin vs non-undead.

Maybe I'll make a guild where popular classes aren't welcome. Groups of 4 hybrids, Wizard and a Cleric will be common place. Let's see how slowly we can make the exp bar move.

Wizards aren't as bad atm in many exp groups as they will be eventually (and are on blue) due to the number of players vs the number of mobs. When I was grouping with my twinked rogue (phinny spear, PSD, str gear, etc) in unrest the other day, I was being vastly outperformed by the wizard in the group. Fights were fast enough with a warrior, mage, rogue, wizard DPSing that I'd almost never get a 3rd backstab in. I'd usually melee for like... 100-150 damage without lucky max BSs but the wiz or mage can do that much damage every 3 seconds then med while the puller tries to find another mob up.

The only one worse than what he picked I think is Troll SK.

Is there a way to get current counts of active characters on the server? Not just logged on at a given moment but all characters. I'd be curious to know how many of each class/race combo exist on Green in total, and levels 40+, and levels 20+.

Not unless the staff have some numbers. They've dug out a few things in the past.

Ah, well if any P99 staff see this, would be good to have those numbers.

Sn the rarest class/race combo is gnome warriors.

But out of ranger, paladin, wizard, I'd say try a ranger ..they are fun and have a bunch of utilities you can utilize. I.e off tank, cc, harmonize for solo pulls,snare mobs that are fleeing, track. Dps is decent. Furthermore, if you get bored you can always get some distance an shoot arrows an shit lol. You'll also get plane geared really fast if your a raider cause usually theres only about 2 rangers per guild (if that) which is cool as hell imo .

I'm thinking thats what I'm going to play this time around when a new PVP server opens up lol. A ranger ripped my ass to shreds with his PoSky bow + Kunark Disc, was shooting me for 300s hiding in a bush somewhere in EJ haha
