Why is that? I never made it to Velious (well, in any serious way) on live.

Ench, Mage, Rogue, Hybrids.

The class of player which is missing are people who really love the class they play.

[Cecily]

Heart my rogues.

With Velious on the Horizon, mages.

You will have the worst role on a raid where you face a wall for hours, cast 1 spell and then immediately pitch the contents of that to the floor. Occasionally, you will cast another spell for players tardy to the party. You will do this so that someday you will be rewarded for your efforts with a piece of gear that will allow you to do cast this spell one or two times more an hour.

Pasi, that sounds beyond boring

[Zuranthium]

That's classic EQ mechanics for you.

Velious is incredibly boring because of the huge resists and health of many of the monsters. You just sit there endlessly hacking away with your melee and doing C-heal chains.

The thrill is in slaying dargons every day and being awarded pixels. There is nothing more satisfying than being able to cast 10 fireballs before going OOM while the filthy casuals can only cast 9 fireballs before having to sit their worthless asses down and watch your glorious 10th fireball.

Bards and Enchanters are both amazing solo, crazy good duo with almost all classes, top group synergies. Bard are much more desired on raiding guilds and enchanter more liked in groups (AoE groups).

Shaman are close to those with an emphasis on high end solo but there really are a LOTS on the server.

How what is "needed"? Well you know how EQ works, you need CC, Heal and tank for 6 man action. You may end up siting your butt for hours LFG on a cleric or on a warrior with no/bad solo abilities. They are needed, not rare.

On the "rare" you have knighs and rangers however hardly "needed".

Pure DPS (rogues and Zard) are "rare'ish" and "needed'ish".



So all in all, I think Bard is what you cannot go wrong with.
