classes in demand?

[Grim]

I'm thinking about joining Project 1999 and was wondering what classes were most in demand on the server, in particular for the end-game (both grouping and raiding).

I played a druid on live from Velious to DoN. Outside of raiding I mostly soloed as druids weren't the most desirable class to group with. (Although a raid was once cancelled because I wasn't there -- we were going after THO and I was the only one in the guild with RGC [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]). This time around I'd prefer to pick a class that has an easier time grouping.

On my solo server I've had a huge amount of fun with necros and wizards. Necros are a blast but wizards would probably be more useful.

Suggestions are welcome!

before everyone tells you just to play what you'll enjoy...

Cleric / Enchanter / Tank

In order of rarity from what i've seen

chanter >> tank >> cleric

cleric being the most common

but yah play what you like

There aren't any necros, shaman, or druids on the server so go with one of those three, I'd say.

Chanter Cleric Warrior as said before are always in demand.

Chanter is probably the most well rounded.


Rogues / Wizards also seem fairly rare not sure why :/

Monks are more versatile pure melee DPS and a Magician can put out similar numbers to a Wizard while providing more utility and more reliable numbers because they won't run out of mana as fast. Wizards are good burst damage but are really mana dependent and run a higher risk of pulling aggro than a Magician.

Unfortunately, chanters wont get many groups in their low levels.

A cleric will be your most desired starting out - through the mid levels. Once max level, as already said cleric / ench / tank.

Enchanters are pretty common at the high end. I seem to remember Uthgaard posting something that said 1/6 L55+ characters was an enchanter [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Personally if I was joining a new server I'd go Monk. Solid class from 1-60 with fun abilities and you can never have too many monks for your raid. I think my iksar warrior will be straight up worse than a monk - the only reason I'm playing him is I just want to try something different.

While there may be alot of enchanters on people's character select screen, apparently they aren't being played much/people are on alts/got sick of it or take your pick...because I was FLOODED with requests to join groups throughout the majority of my leveling.

Fortunately for enchanters, 1 in 6 people in a group should be an enchanter...and some are out soloing, so the game can support quite a few of them. Beyond that, it's pretty easy to notice the difference between a crappy enchanter and a good one, so if you perform well you'll get plenty of tells even when /role or /anon.

Wizards are the highest demand DPS, Bards and Enchanters are about even, and everyone loves a rez-slut
