Which class when played with skill affects your group the most?

[pogs4ever]

Bard. Honorable mention to pally in an xp group.


enc are like pet cats: badass on their own and 99% of the time they don't need you; they may just share their OP with your group from time to time for their own amusement/braggadocio.

Worst played per cecily:
AFk clerics
Lute holding bards
Warriors with dps weapons

Wizard - a well played wizard is a thing of beauty. Responding when the group says its time to move. Or answering questions. Evaccing instead of staying seated taking full damage quads from a bad pull.

Bard!

Have grouped with a bard who saved everyone with quick thinking when the AFK necro's pet was about to push a spider off the edge in the frenzy camp in Velks by charming the spider. I'm sure you can imagine the train that would have resulted if he hadn't done that.

I don't like this thread. A more fun thread would be which class played poorly hurts the group the most.

EQ is a synergy game. Give me a buffed up, attentive rogue any day. Then give me another. Then give me a warrior who doesn't alt-tab autoattack during fights. Then give me a healer who knows how to CC, a decent puller, and a dedicated CC class.

None of those people are pulling more weight than the others. Any of those people not doing their job makes the group suffer.

Definitely bard.

In fact I feel like few people on this server have even gotten to experience grouping in a dungeon like seb or HS with a bard played to its maximum potential. Ive been in raid guilds on this server since it opened and even I have only gotten to group with an insanely good group bard a handful of times. I watched one chain pull seb better than any monk.

I've noticed this problem and maybe it's just the Bards that I have been in a group with but they will start with playing songs and buffing/healing people. But within five minutes, they just want to be a tank and jump into combat and stop playing songs. Then they complain when people complain about not having haste or any buffs.

Yesterday I was camping guk spiders, just about to break the giant spider, and a red con bard ran in and sniped it. Not technically illegal I guess, but fuck bards

[Nixtar]

Shame 99% of the bards on p99 swarm and then fail hard in groups. But yes, theoretically, a bard can have a massive impact.
