Wizards and Bards are also bad for this sort of behavior--worse than necromancers, probably. Wizards do it to the extent the class is often avoided by experience groups. Folks who AFK a lot tend to pick these types of classes because they can do it without seriously harming their groups for the most part.

I had a Cleric take an unannounced AFK for over half an hour on one occasion. It didn't matter since the wife was there to pick up the slack with her Shaman, but gave the group a laugh. One group member said that the same Cleric had wiped other groups doing the same thing.

Tishan's Clash - 65 mana (dd stun)
Tishan's Discord - 130 mana (dd stun)
Draught of Jiva - 215 mana (interrupt nuke)
Concussion - 25 mana (hate reducer)
Atol's Spectral Shackles - 125 mana
Fetter - 75 mana

A good wizard stares at his spell window and chainstuns casters using his at least 3 interrupting spells he has memmed so his party isn't getting slowed, diseased, nuked, etcetc - you can stop a 1120dmg ice comet for 65 mana or stop a slow that ends up being thousands of lost DPS. A good wizard also is also great at CC between his fetter, snare, and stun. Another thing is is that all these spells are such low mana you can always have enough mana to greatly contribute to your group in high level dungeons, if you have your shit together. The powerful dungeon crawling wizard is a rare breed indeed - - - you will always be "OOM" if you think a wizard is just about "DPS" and "HURRRRRR - - - FIREBALL!!!!!!"

Without question the #1 lazy class is Cleric. Great clerics are fucking awesome, shitty clerics really suck. Most sit there BP healing at 70 or 80m and never toss out a single stun when a pet breaks or if a mob is running. And god forbid you toss out a root once in a while. Or god forbid you max out your evocation skill. Funny also how they aren't doing anything to begin with and they never check the spell window to see if someone ends up getting poisoned - - only till someone is like "shitshit I'm poisoned and almost dead" do you get a heal. Even funnier - if you have a good wizard in your party you're not getting poisoned or nuked really - making the cleric even lazier!

its stuff like this that simply isn't known unless you've played the class extensively (or at least have more play time than i do apparently). So thank you for the input on the class - i have a buddy of mine who; admittedly is a great guy, rarely stuns though and prefers to lob fireballs (albiet he's in his teens)

Your buddy is actually way ahead of the curve since he won't get his first stun till 20.

Just wanted to say I've grouped multiple times with both Mane and Greven and thought they were quality players... maybe they were having a bad day *shrug*

Also, dunno what it is but Seb brings out the worst in some people =/

The opposite of this is an enchanter.

I literally CAN'T afk in a group. If you aren't charming, you're not doing your job.

After 5 hours in a basement camp I just had to use the restroom. I said AFK, I need to use a restroom, please just kill my pet if it breaks while I'm gone.

I was gone maybe 40 seconds

I came back dead.
