YES they have made some non classic for raid balance but overall they will try to get to true classic as ever and some cases this means nerving some classes as they did on live.

I played a monk on live, and there's a reason that even with epic, cof, and a fungi, that I stuck to soloing LDC's and bank guards in qeynos and had an inventory full of bandages. Not sure where monks on p99 got the idea that they could solo all day, let alone on kunark mobs and that it was classic. I distinctly remember thinking I was a low-hp warrior when leveling pre-kunark - the major advantage being mend and fd - weapons in kunark helped, but monks were not the crazy soloing machines they've been on p99 at all. If they had been, everyone on live would have been playing them and they'd be nerfed into oblivion. As it was, it took Luclin gear/AA and some flimsy ramp tank scenarios to get a nerf bat...fix sounds like it made things more classic. There's a reason there weren't a ton of monks back in the day.

This thread has potential. Just from the first 4 pages, I collected enough tears to make a nice piping hot cup of melee tear tea.

bards are the kings of outdoor zones, enchanters the kings of indoor zones. bards can solo anything up to level 50 once they hit level 28, but enchanters are one of only 2 classes that can solo most 55+ mobs.

still, i'm really surprised more people haven't leveled up a bard to 54 just for the sheer versatility of the class. you can level a bard up to 54 in 1-2 weeks, and if you have a buddy use that to level a druid up to mid 50s in 1-2 weeks (before the low-hp nerf this whole process would take a week, and you'd have 2 high-level bards). within a month of starting from scratch on this server you can be making tens of thousands of platinum per day. *shrug*

also, side note: it's going to be funny watching people complain that bards were the first to lock down the holgresh camp in wakening lands when velious finally drops, just by virtue of being able to outrun the competition

Bard is great soloing potential 1-55
Enchanter is great soloing potential 20-60
Both are great in groups
Enchanters are boring on raids unless charming.
Bards are always needed on raids.

Bard melee DPS is negligible so you don't really have to worry about attacking if you don't want to. Bards can move while casting so you never really get interrupted. Bards have the best move speed buff in the game. Lambent armor just looks cool. People who play bards are taller, better looking, and make more money irl than people who play other classes. Bards -never- have to med.

Bards rule. Enchanters drool.

Edit: Bards only die when they're not being careful (which should be often. If you wanna play it safe, play a necro). Chanters die even when they're being careful, which is stupid.
