Classes game is in need of?

This is true. I'm 39 and most people know I am damn good at what i do. I log on for two seconds and I am offered a group in Lguk and SolB without fail. To be honest it is awesome to be a tank that is not only needed, but preferred and respected. Was never like this on live for me and I was probably as good then. Not to brag 8P

all the named mobs are camped by enchanters/necros.

but it's still fun to group up and do the occasional 5mans [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was wondering if there was a shortage of any roles at the higher end of the game. Do raids get called for want of a healer, tank or slower? Is it difficult to get in a group as a damage class?

Bummer, I thought the thread was going to be about new classes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I was going to say Assassin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Don't know why I thought that hehe

But yeah, I agree, play what you like best is the way to go. It's less about the numbers and more about players being good at the class they play. You know, like not everyone is cut out for cleric etc.

No no ... Id say creating new classes would be unEQie. I would go for making you feel like an assassin. How about titles displayed under your name or something? 500,000 backstabs give you the title Assassin.

Hmm... close, but needs stealth, lock picking, tracking, ranged poison dagger and short sword. The key to it though is having marks - getting into neg-faction cities and taking out named npc's for the most part. Then yes, rogue like skills in groups etc. Assassins and bounty hunters are teh best! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No really though ... maybe remember doing /who all and people after a certain level had class specific titles? Maybe extend on it to make it viable in a manner.

OK, that just makes me want to level my Ranger as main instead of my druid. Masochistic, yes, but willing to represent!

You shouldn't be too disheartened by the raiding scene. Admittedly, it is *grotesquely* ugly at the moment, but with further patches/expansions and planes it will ease up quite a bit. Currently there's just not much content out there to raid, making it very crowded (though the current rules certainly don't help much either), and because of the massive amount of raid-viable and raid-experienced players it becomes very crowded and can get quite ugly.

There are probably more mages/druids/enchanters than most other classes at 50. It does seem like quite a few necros have been put aside to level *true* mains, but there's still a good number of them.

It will always be a safe bet to make a DPS melee/caster: rogues/rangers/wizzies/monks. They're far more viable with more than 1 in a group, whereas you can't say the same for clerics/druids/tanks/utility(shaman/bard). having 2 rogues speeds things up far more significantly than if you were to have 2 druids.

But bear in mind that these things change VERY frequently. It seems like every couple weeks there's a new posh alt-class that gets swamped and subsequently quit once the person manages to reach the low teens or 20s. Best advice i can give you is to pick what's the most fun and most likely to keep you entertained for the longest period of time.
