Anyone know enough to list the difficulty of class epics in a rough order?

[Namegen_Isterrible]

My effort at ranking the epics' overall power:

Weak: wizard, druid, necro, ench
Medium: warrior, paladin, shadowknight, ranger
Strong: cleric, shaman, monk, rogue
Insane: mage, bard


Mage and bard are just insane in how greatly they affect each class in every way. Especially in solo/duo/groups, those two epics make those classes WOWWTFPOWERFUL compared to how they stand before epics. Monk is like that too for solo and a lot of duo situations.

Couldn't bring myself to rank cleric as insane because as required as it is for raiding, it doesn't really change the class in any fundamental way. Donal's BP is way more powerful than the cleric epic.

Sham epic is solo/duo awesomeness. Rogue epic gives them their top spot on DPS for a long time. The other melee epics are nice but they aren't exactly big gamechangers (I don't think?) unless you are upgrading to one of these weapons from droppable stuff you bought in EC for 5k or something.

Wiz is handy but you shouldn't be getting hit anyway... it only shines if you have a stone and are oldworld. Nec and dru... guess I don't know about these really but they seem to have long cast times for the benefit for the class. And ench is like cleric imo, handy, convenient, but not gamechanging in any way.

difficulty for someone just starting out?

Necro is probably going to be the hardest one for someone to complete. Not only is CT and Inny a bitch (when contested), but so is getting the cape from sky. Add on top of that the drops from CT and Inny are somewhat drool'd over for other classes so the likelyhood of seeing them for sale is low (unless someone steals them from a gbank).

Oh, and the new rules for fear doesn't help any with smaller guilds getting CT from larger guilds.

I am sure p99 will go socialist tho and everyone will have one in 3months.

I always thought monk epic was an interesting one. Start to finish, starting with the headbands and sashes, it's a loooooooong quest, with lots and lots of loooooooong camps for rare drops. But it's nothing contested or crazy crap like rare drops from gods, just some areas require at least duo'ing with a healer for some long ass camps. There's only one fight that you even need a raid for (and even it can be one grouped if you have all 60s and the right mix of classes).

I wouldn't consider it easy, like the Rogue epic, but it's difficult in a different way. Just lots and lots of time (but actually doable).

thats why you get 5 clerics and kill brother z/q

I think you mean 5 mages.
