most underpowered class in game?

[sajbert]

Controversial opinion: WAR

Pre-kunark WAR is just weak overall. Post kunark they still need a lot of gear and ideally raid-level equipment to perform in groups. Even then WAR lack a lot of utility in comparison to PAL or SK, the lack of snap aggro hurts as well. Finding a group is not always easy for this group-dependent class. Outside of heavy twinking they can't solo unless you're the type of player who's into self-flagellation.

The fact that a raid-equipped WAR with all the bells and whistles is a beast and that they eventually end up being a mandatory component in the majority of raids doesn't carry the class as a whole in my view.

I can see anyone rolling a DRU or RNG having a great time solo as well as in groups whilst also being able to farm plat and at the same time being welcome in raids. Heck, a RNG can even put out decent DPS once geared well. A DRU will always have POTG.

I can't see as many players having a good time with the WAR which it ends up as my pick for the most underpowered class in the game.
