Class defining epic

[mr_jon3s]

Mage epic is huge. You will always have it on you, best pet till planes of power, does insane dps, and it looks awesome. When the plane of hate revamp happens I think you will see a huge shift in the server with more mages being able to get epic.

Thank you all for the contributions. Lots of gems in this thread, which is what I was ultimately hoping for.

And sorry for the confusion. I should have worded things a little better, but my original thought was around what drastically and fundamentally alters a class from all perspectives and isn't just a "nice to have" essentially.

Thank you again! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bard doesn't get replaced till...sometime after PoP? Pretty sure that makes it a winner.

Some of the Bard elemental plate from PoP (Vambraces, Chest, Boots) match epic instrument mods. They already have a replacement for the Epic singing mod in Shadowsong Cloak... and if you're lucky eventually a Songblade of the Eternal.

Epic List (each category eliminates previous) -
Best Epic for Entire Server - Cleric
Best Epic for Entire Guild - Bard
Best Epic for Individual Class - Magician
Best Epic for You to Poop On - Necromancer

Think about Everquest without rogue epics for a minute.

another way of doing it would be to think about which classes (on live) were able to stop equipping their epics first and which weren't even carried around in bags.

there were some that were out by late kunark and early velious. others that lasted all the way to plane of time or beyond.

my two most "class defining" were the bard and the wizard. both are game changers in terms of play style. both looked hella cool. bard would equip his until plane of time, wizard would carry his until plane of time; outliving the usefulness of many other epics.

i'm partial though; I played bard and wizard on live.

Good bards dumped theirs in PoWater! That Hydrotha Mask was the shit.

And Cleric epic is best. After a Cazic Thule run I rezzed probably 30 people. The amount of time it takes a cleric to med for 30 rezzes is over an hour and a half. The amount of time the cleric epic saves is huge.
