...what the topic says. And why (in your opinion)?
Comments
don't know, but i think it's one of the dwarfclasses, since most people think they are ugly.
It's all pretty even.
Just go with the class you enjoy the most.
The Dwarf Engineer - just a shot in the dark though cause I haven't picked up the game yet.
I think it has to be White Lion. Due to the bugs in beta the pet wouldnt respond to commands like it should. Plus I tried it and found it extremely boring compared to the other classes. Of course that just my opinion. Others might find it fun.
white lion? I see alot of them.
Any NON-hybrid healer.
Now before the people who think they know what I'm saying start flaming I'll explain. There are two types of healers in the game. Combat/Healer types, and for lack of a better term, pure healers.
A runepriest / zealot would be an example of a pure healer where a War Priest / Shaman is an example of a hybrid healer.
In the Scarerios and the RVR the team that really dominates is the team that has healers that know what the hell they are doing. I have seen these games get dominated at the start and do a complete 180 when they other team has good healers.
My chosen will do a good job regardless, give me a healer watching me and I'm unstoppable. Same is true for an Order Melee. Get a runepriest to back up a Ironbreaker and that's a tank with self repairing armor that plows through stuff. Finding a good healer is tough though.
So you want a class that is not played much, pure healers. We need more.

Honestly on the Volkmar server, we need more tanks. Whether you play a IB or SM.
It seems like everyone is either BW, WH or a healer class of some sort.
I guess its hard to play when you dont like dwarves or pretty elves as a tank.. LOL
I am rolling a SM (High Elf) and actually enjoying it. (I cant believe I actually said this). LOL
Well Empire is by far the most popular. Then I'd say it's even between the Dwarfs and Elves.
As for the least played class - polls would suggest the White Lion. A very powerful and solid class, but not for those who don't enjoy pet classes.
To wank, or not to wank. The ultimate MMO sacrifice.
I will also agree with the lack of tanks. Especially when compared with the other faction. If you wanted a more specific class I would say that Sword Masters are probably more underplayed than Ironbreakers ( Red Eye Mountain).
We need healers that want to be healers... No more so called "super dps" healers who dont give a damn about healing or dont have enough skill to do both.. In the RvR that I have played especially scenarios, the side with the best healing usually wins and wins BIG... As far as tanks go, we NEED more IB's.. Since everyone on destruction is a black orc, we need more IB's to match their meatyness... I was in a scenario with a tough IronBreaker and that guy effectively tanked their whole dps squad, complete with marauders and those silly little DoK's...
So, yea.. The dwarven classes need some love from some new folks... Engineer, ironbreaker, and runepriest..
But I suppose if you are one of those "its all about looking cool" then order will probably not be for you.. Just have to follow the herd to destruction and look "cool"..
I'm going to say lack of tanks, and more than likely, elfs. So in my opinion, I would say the Swordmaster is probaly one of the rarest in the game.
Just have to follow the herd to destruction and look "cool"..
So True..
As many times as I do BGs for Order, I seem to be 1 of the 2 tanks in every scenario, we got Range DPS up the wahzoo on Order, but lack the tankage.
If you got a friend / spouse that wants to play healer and you do tank (or vice versa), let me tell you, you folks will survive and decimate alot of opponents around your level.
I think the biggest inbalance, as of now, is the fact that the destruction tank classes "look cooler" than the orders. While at the same time orders bright wizards look cooler than the destruction sorcerer.
What ive seen, looks to be the order bright wizards vs the orc tank/melee clases.
The only time order takes the upper hand in scenarios is when the small % of dwarfs, specifically ironbreakers, shows up.
Other than that, ive been in many scenarios with a party of 4-5 bright wizards and the rest that melee dps/healer class (forget the name of it)
I think that they should soon release a new class for both sides, a cool looking order tank/melee dps and give destrution their choppa. Order generally has the population, its just the players choice of what class to play is what leads to scenario balancing roblems. This games too team based to have enveryone running around as dps's when the destruction side has much more tanks. Also giving the orders healer a dps option really makes things hard, as order usual lacks dedicated healers, as well as tanks. Right now order is completely a dps realm.
It's not because they are ugly, it's because they are short. It makes it hard to see where you're going, which is kinda claustrophobic in my opinion. You have to constantly pan up, otherwise even if you walk over a tiny hill, all you see is dirt.
so i fanally got my new pc put together last night. atm im DL the patch, looking forward to trying some of the classes that i have been looking forward to. first i think ill try out the order tank classes, since i normally dont like being a tank, and gonna try those new "tank hybrids" there is in WAR. secondly im gonna try the archmage as a healer, well, because of the same reason - hybrid. if none of those are for me, ill pick my normal ranged dps class, time will show what i end up with
I agree...personally Im top DPS 80% of the time and ALWAYS top on the heal charts...cause i use my Archmage to its fulliest potencial, unlike most of these wannabe bright wizard, Archmages.
RvR in the human zones is always interesting. There are never enough tanks (I'm often the only one). Most of the healers are warrior priests too. They have great healing potential, but it seems they have a hard time managing heals outside of their immediate area. So, classes that have to go slightly beyond the enemy lines to disrupt their healers/mages often do so without healing support. Without a doubt, the removal of certain classes had real impacts on the tier one RvR zones. It is true that players can travel from one realm to the others, but that's not happening enough yet to address the imbalances.
I play an IB on chaos waste it is a very good class I think. I like to tank it up. I was going to go black orc but dwarves are just as bad ass. I see lots of tanks I am not sure if they will stay with the class I know I am. I have no guild as of yet so if anyone knows of a good one let me know.
