Most overpowered class (any game)

What do you think is the most overpowered class in any mmorpg game you have played.

i was wondering this when someone was saying shaman were too overpowered in WoW i was looking at the pve side at least and was like..well they are good but not that much better than some and probably not as good as a couple others.


then i thought of the games i played and which class could just roll through things like none other..then i thought of my personal favorite.

Daoc-the vampire

    first place would be SWG's Creature Handler , second place would be Horizon's Reaver class. I only played each game 3 months after release so I don't know what happened with each class after that. They probably both got nerfed to where a sick kitten could eat em alive.

    I miss DAoC

    The Rogue used to be more overpowered in WOW and same with the Paladin. The funny thing was the biggest reason both these classes were overpowered was becaue of BUGs that Blizzard did not fix until later on.

    When they got rid of these un-intended bugs the Rogues and Paladins screamed bloody murder.

    My vote would go to the original EQ Necromancer. Before everyone started crying nerf. I remember those days down in lower guk. Pissing whole groups off because I was camping the FG (Frenzied Ghoul) room by myself as a 50 DarkElf Necro. I wouldn't even let them have 1 spawn. I told them me and my pet was a group. As a Necro I could solo every room in guk. Except maybe the king. When I partnered up with my Druid and Paladin friend though. It was on, we'd pimp the whole room as a 3 man.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

      Most pet class are generally consisder over power... but you got to look at in what area.. is it pve or pvp... cause over power class in pve aren't always over pwer in pvp... like wise.

    most wizard type classes in most games i played are ussually stronger and more overpowered then other classes but it is also the harder class to play with so it balances itself out in i way .... i think :S

    First place goes to: the archer (forget name) from prince of qin if statted EXACTLY right and given good equip could kill 10 people higher lvl then them in 3 or 4 shots (all die at once)

    second place: Silver ranger from lineage 2 beta-> c1 (after that was repeatedly smacked in the face with nerf stick) during beta i was one of these and proceded to obliterate people (my favorite was me + 3 lowbies vs 4 ppl who were messing with them 1 lower lvl than me the other 3 2-5 lvls higher than me i got all the kills the lowbies were more of a distraction)

    thrid place: shammy from WoW, fought one in 10-19 bg he got in at 20 by cheating (lvling in queue) and completly owned every one (i know i know hes got the next skill set and prolly has better equip) i was lvl 19 with crappy stuff but i could not get him to low hp he was near unstoppable.

    Edit: honorable mention: hunter in WoW i like hunters and i im not screaming nerf but when im trying to get the flag and im greeted by 3 rakes im not the happiest of druids :P

    The class that can do the most damage with the least amount of player skill is always the one people cry nerf for.

  • GolricGolric Member Posts: 153
    wow i just noticed most of the overpowered classes in games are archer classes lol
  • VampirVampir Member Posts: 4,239

    Shadowblades for the first 2 and a half years of DAOC. if you made them right they could kill anyone player in less then 10 seconds. even the toughest tanks. but it was the most skillfull character building and they took forever to get to level 50 cus they had almost no Soloing PvE ability.

    other then that the albion reavers were just terrible for the last part of DAOC i played by terrible meaning they were insanely overpowered........

    hib was generally balanced.

    but midgaurds Savage got brutal with HP based buffs because if you had a good healer they could deal the most damage i have ever seen dealt in melee to an entire group but  this was due to their attack speed with two handed weapons. But they needed a healer alone they were easy to kill.

    Dont you mean vampiir?  And no i dont think they're that OP.  If they claw spam your usually dead, but i rape vampiirs with my merc and reaver.

    Most OP class in any mmorpg to me is....The shaman, and i think we know what mmorpg that is image

    Game Master.  I can't beat that accursed class.  I think they are haxxoring because they are majorly twinked with thier 26k+ hp and max allowed stats, and all the skills in the game.

    I agree with the above posts, Archer types and mage types usually always turn out overpowered.  Thats one reason I am excited about RO2.  There will be a high damage dealing close range fighter that emits its power through a Katana in sword techniques from what I heard so far, but I could be completely wrong.

    If you played original SWG you would know creature handlers were probably one of the most over powered classes ever.  There might be some others but people saying any WoW class has no idea what they are talking about.  Wow is really balanced compared to most MMORPGs I have played.

    Some that come to mind:

    1. Vampiir - DAoC (honestly, what was Mythic thinking?)

    2. Creature Handler - SWG (having 3 rancors always made for a good time)

    3. Druid - EQ1 (they could kite anything)

    With the NGE, SWG's Creature Handler class has been *eliminated*. Joe don't work here no more, boss.

    I would say that out of my mmorpg experience hybrid classes alway pull the longest end.

    DAoC - Warden vs. Paladin
    EQ - Rogue (simply outdamaged everyone at my time)


    Belegond Thundercliff- Paladin of the second Order of Talad (Planeshift)
    Aznakh Daermonshazzar - Young Adventurer (Planeshift)

    P.S.: How do you calculate a character's strength in a game like Planeshift where there are no strict classes or levels, System is based on training skills available to everyone.null

    It is not because I AFK on the only raid-target (Hamidon) in the game for 30 minutes that the Regen-Scrapper where overpowered back then!  No no, it was NEVER overpowered!  image  It was quite good althought.

     

    In EQ a bard would be overpowered at some moments, but it was such a pain to play that everytime a player consider complaining about that class the twitching pain of the Bard was usually refraining any complaints. image  Clerics and Chanters as well were seriously overpowered at most moments of EQ (clerics who can pull, tank, heal, nuke undead and much more...and chanters were so obviously good).

    Shaman! :p


    Nah, it must be Rifleman/Combat Medic from the earlier days of SWG.

    I'd have to go with Silver Ranger, followed closely by the priestess in Priston Tale...

    Simple the archer classes in DAoC before they got nerfed.

    Back in 2001 u would have 5-6 archers hold a wall against 30 men.

  • darktravestydarktravesty Member Posts: 199

    Channelers in Shadowbane were pretty overpowered at launch, they could chain cast their high damage bolts. That meant a lot of dead people. But, now they have a timer so you can't chain them.

    this needs to be on first page!! :P very interesting thread imo
  • SoejckdswgSoejckdswg Member Posts: 338

    Pre-Patch 9 Jedi Guardians 4444 or Masters were the most overpowering class in the game...they could take on 20 people, depending on the types they were going against..but easily take 10 on at a time..at that time jedi were an Alpha Class so they were supposed to be stronger..now they're just like every  other class..

    DaoC- Vampiir hands down is the worst designed class in any game I've seen

    AO- Martial Artist, then later down the road Meta-physicist and Bureaucrat

    SWG- I agree at first CH was to much
