Monks and Rogues - wanted or not? - Page 4

On any classic eq raid there are about 4 to 8 people actually playing in a critically important task...the rest of you are just zombie dps who show up with a pulse and know how to hit auto attack and/or other very simple directions.

Monks frequently find themselves in the 4-8 I described above. Rogues, hardly ever.

Haven't read through the thread so many people probably have already said this but;

Nothing is needed on blue anymore.

Monks are not needed or wanted in the raid scene anymore. Period. Most monks that are already there SHOULD be Rogue because all they do and know how to do is DPS.

Rogues are always wanted high end. But the class sucks up until that point, imo.

It would be interesting if p99 decided to shake up the spawn points and pathing routes of mobs in zones like tov/vp in order to bring back the mystery. In 1999-2001 monks had to do a lot of exploratory feigning to figure this stuff out. Not classic, so it won't happen. Would be neat though.

Its been the opposite for me. I LOVED leveling my rogue 1-59. Once I got 55+ I figured raiding and stuff was going to be super fun and easy to get into as a rogue!

Well, it's not near as appealing as I imagined for 59 levels. Yeah, people seem to want me and I've app'd and trialed with numerous guilds throughout the years, but I haven't found a group/guild of people I really click with. One that makes me want to put up with all the crazy poopsocking and lawyer questing. In theory it'd be fun though...Still looking I guess! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
